WirelessMind Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Honestly seeing how many people either use LSRP+ or just simply crop a screenshot with no editing is beginning to hurt my eyes. Step 1 - Press f7 to turn off your HUD, then f12 to take your background screenshot. Spoiler Step 2 - Afterwards press f7 again to get the text back and type /blindfold and once again screenshot using f12 to get the text of the RP you want in the screenshot. Spoiler Step 3 - Open both images in Photoshop, make sure you double click the background images layer to make it a proper layer. Spoiler Step 4 - Change the background images canvas size to 800x600px(my preference) and move the images position to however you wish. Spoiler Step 5 - Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to choose what text from the /blindfold image that you want on the screenshot, then press ctrl+c afterwards go back to the background image and pres ctrl+v. Spoiler - Rectangular Marquee Tool Step 6 - Use the Magic Eraser Tool to remove the black background. Make sure you already erased and extra irrelevant test like advertisement, /b's, basically anything OOC or not relevant to the main RP you're trying to show. Spoiler - Magic Eraser Tool - Best Magic Eraser Tool settings I've found that seem to work for GTA 5. Step 7 - Right click the text layer and go to Blending Options. Add a stroke of 1 to the text. Anything other then 1 looks trashy, never think otherwise. Spoiler Step 8 - Position the text in the top left or bottom right, then hold shift and tap the up/down arrow key once and then hit the right arrow key. Spoiler Bonus - If you wish to get a grimier look for the screenshot save it as a JPG quality 4-5. If not and you want the entire image to just be high quality save it as a PNG. Spoiler - PNG - JPG Quality 5 Now that I took my time to do this guide, bless my eyes with proper Photoshop screenshots. I don't wanna hear the excuse "I don't have photoshop and I'm not paying for it" because it's 2019 and you can get anything online for free. Edited July 5, 2019 by WirelessMind 4 1 Link to comment
DS Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Gimp will also do the same result. I prefer Photoshop but before I had it, I used Gimp for all my screens. Link to comment
Conway Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Alternatively you can just use the parser so taking the screenshot isn't a mission in itself 1 Link to comment

xRzeRepresent Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Great guide, I've been using this method since 2011. Edited April 23, 2019 by xRzeRepresent Link to comment
Hotpocket Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Nice. Edited April 23, 2019 by Hotpocket wouldn't you like to know? Link to comment

True, what’s the point of all of it if a screenshot is to show off RP. What if I didn’t get any screenshots but took gyazo snaps of my recordings? What’s wrong with that? However this guide is still great and informative. Edited April 23, 2019 by aldo Link to comment
aldo Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 How do you get parser to work if you installed RageMP the new way? I don't have a RageMP folder at all. Link to comment
Veitukas Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Anyone knows a problem with my screenshots? Whenever I take a screenshot none of the hud is there? No text, nothing, anyone can help me? Link to comment
