hello, i have a question that i wasnt even sure where to post but.. i need a little help. When i take Snapshots, saving for my computer directly, the glow on objects does NOT appear on the Snapshot! it Does appear on my screen, i see all the glows perfectly well, but when i save the snapshot to my hard disk, it doesnt show any glow at all! i don't see any option to activate glow on snapshots , neither i cant slide the little bar "Image Quality" on the snapshot menu window.. (i'm not sure if that would be the solution, but if it is, how can i be able to slide that little bar? its grey, it doesnt let me move it..) I hope someone can help me

I don't have a solution, but I can confirm that there is no option to turn on glow in snapshots.
It is supposed to "Just work".
I have never heard of your problem before, you should search Jira to see if anyone else is having the same problem.

http://www.simechoes.org/sims1/caro/camera/simcamera.htmlI used to use it when I did stories for The Sims, nice little utility. There are tons of free ones, I"m sure, just look up "free screenshot utility" in google if you don't like this one ^^

Gimp is free or PhotoShop for a pretty penny.

ok i searched on Jira the only thing i could find was all about hi-rez snapshots, the person said if they enable hi-rez snapshots, the glow doesnt show as if the object didnt have glow properties, but nothing about normal snapshots :\ by talking about that, i can't take hi-rez pictures.. i enabled it on advanced settings , they say to click "ctrl + ' " but when i do that, it doesnt work.. it simply dont do something as if i didnt click on anything.. do someone know why?

From: Bellamy Amat they say to click "ctrl + ' " but when i do that, it doesnt work.. [... ]know why? It looks like you may be pressing Control plus the normal apostrophe. The keystroke is Control plus the "left apostrophe" or whatever it's called, to the left of the "1" key. You can press Printscreen to get a screen capture copied to the Windows copy buffer and then paste it into a paint program. Irfanview is a nice free utility that works with with the Printscreen copy and paste method nicely, and also has it's own added screen capture functions, such as repeated timed captures, capturing the whole desktop, foreground window, or foreground window client area only, variable delay, and so on. I just did a Snapshot to Disk (not high resolution) and Glow did show up in the bmp file, in Second Life 1.20.15 (92456) .

Does it work if you do it from the menu, File / Snapshot to Disk?
Are you using the Control ` without any menus showing?
Some system specs might have some bearing.
Version of SL (from Help / About Second LIfe) , amount of ram, name of video card, amount of video ram, and video driver version.
and how much space is left on the hard drive?

you could explore getting a screen capture programme as suggested, as these tend to grab whats there, without any intervention of the SL Client. look at http://www.download.com/3120-20_4.html?qt=screen+capture&tag=srch&tg=dl-20 for a selection. You can narrow the list by choosing your OS and the license type (to free).
