I am new to sl, just a week old. Anyway, me and my Sl girlfriend (she's awesome) do photo shoots. But every time I take a snapshot, the friggin snapshot pallette pops up in the picture! This is so lame. Is there a way to disable that, or greatlyr educe its size? I have done workarounds, and the Photoshop can always do its magic. But this is nutso. Help please!

There are two ways to disable this.

1.) Go to your Debug menu and uncheck "show UI in snapshot".

2.) When that little menu in the lower left pops up for you to select your type of snapshot, there is a check box "show UI in next snapshot" make sure that is unchecked.

I always thought that was a bug... I mean when you are taking the screenshot, the screenshot preview isn't up yet. If it was up, then it would be telling you what you would be taking a screenshot of... in the future... when you took the screenshot.

:confused:

I am posting a shot here, you can see the "Snapshot Preview" ,,,, just make sure the box "UI in next snapshot is unchecked".

Yes it is a preview of what you just took, but you can choose NOT to save or upload.

You can take a shot with the UI in it and not see the "Snapshot Preview" by taking to the hard drive with the ` key (make sure your chat bar is closed).

Taking snaps to your HD with the ` key is a great way to take multiple fast action shots.

Weird...I've never had that problem. I just pose...click snapshot, save it or not, and keep going...though since you gave tips I spose I should do that too just to be on the safe side :P
