Any Screen grabers HighGFX friendly?

NovaCoder · 17 December 2009, 00:33

Now that I've got my WB running in a lovely 1024x768 @ 64 colours I'd like to take some grabs but my screen-grabber has a bit of trouble with HighGFX and the pictures always look a bit 'messy' (I've tried different file formats). Anyone found a program that will handle it properly?

SGrab and Personal Paint have no problem capturing the screens from my HighGFX Workbench, maybe you could try those but I only run my Workbench in 16 colours. Which one do you use? Sometimes SGrab can capture junk if it starts to grab the screen before everything has finished refreshing after the SGrab window disappears, so it's best to not move anything around after you press the grab button.

Hiya,

I'm using SGrab and it seems to be having trouble with 64 colours.

Try Personal Paint from Aminet, but you might want to set the screenmode to HighGFX 512x384 but with a image size of 1024x768 in 64 colours, just in case you run out of ChipRAM when grabbing the screen.

Personal Paint is on Aminet here http://aminet.net/package/biz/cloan/PPaint
