hey to any and all!..May not be the first time this is asked, but over the last several months ive had a big problem with inworld photography. It comes in the form of an over layed tiling effect when i shoot. I usually shoot fairly high rez inworld photos, my computer has handled this no problem in the past. the " artifact" shows up as a tiling effect ( the image repeated over and over within and on top of the main image ( which is obscured but not completely covered). I ve attempted to adjust viewing angle, resolution ( both for saving images inworld, and straight to hard drive), lighting, etc, but to no avail. Anyone observed this and conquered?

My first guess would be it's a graphics driver issue. What video card do you have, and what driver version?

i had thought that too, at first, but all other typical imaging seems to be fine. that said, its an Nvidia GeForce 8500...not the best, but certainly up to the job( normally) i did download new drivers as well....im vexed to say the least

Very odd.
Just for the hell of it, have you tried the 175 series drivers? They tend to be more SL-friendly than more recent ones, albeit for different reasons than the problem you described. 175.19 and 175.16 are what people are having the most success with.
Also, have you tried the release candidate client? If the problem doesn't happen in the RC, I'd say forget about it. The RC will be going main any time now.
If you can't find a solution, a workaround could be screenshots instead of snapshots (unless you need higher resolution than what you can get on your screen).
