9TriLLo's Screenshot Guide

[9TriLLo]

Hello, this is a relatively easy method that I've used to edit my screenshots back on LSRP that may come in useful here too.

 

Requirements:

 

- GTA V - STEAM Version / Third Party Software.

- Photoshop (I use the 2021 version).

 

How To:

 

1. Once In-Game, press F7 and take a SS of your character and his close environment using F12. Example: https://imgur.com/a/D6Z9NwX

 

2. Afterwards, type /blindfold in the chat and use F12 to take a STEAM screenshot. Example: https://imgur.com/a/2C1TWZI

 

3. Open your Screenshots folder by going to Steam > View > Screenshots > Grand Theft Auto V > Show on Disk. Example: https://imgur.com/a/WVA6jys

 

4. Open your PS and drag in the F7 SS and the /blindfold SS. Use the Perspective Tool and edit the W & H to 800 x 600 px. Example: https://imgur.com/a/iuohQgb

 

5. Crop your F7 SS the way you deem fit (Left Click + Drag then Right Click + Crop) and then create a new file (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+N, Create and then Ctrl+V).

 

6. Select the /blindfold SS and use the Zoom Tool and the Rectangular Marquee Tool to crop what you use. Example: https://imgur.com/a/ZfomE2T

 

7. Use Ctrl+C to copy the text, open the edited F7 SS and then use Ctrl+V to put the text in. It will have a black background. Example: https://imgur.com/a/aIcrIAi

 

8. Select the Magic Wand Tool and Left Click on the black background, press the Delete key and then Deselect. Example: https://imgur.com/a/0983WSA

 

9. Use the Left Click + the Arrow Keys to arrange the text to fit in well. Example: https://imgur.com/a/MCWY6bj

 

10. On the right side, hover the text layer, Right Click and choose Blending Options. Give it Stroke. Example: https://imgur.com/a/SSeObyG 

 

Tips:

 

1. You can use a third party software, such as Shadowplay, to take screenshots of your /blindfold SSes if you don't have the Steam version.

 

2. You can attach that Screenshots folder to the Quick Access bar for easier access from Photoshop.

 

3. If you're not happy with the text selected, use Right Click + Deselect and try again.

 

4. Do not cover any of the characters' faces in your SSes with the text.

 

5. Stroke settings that will fit perfectly: https://imgur.com/a/xWk7VQ0

 

6. I use /fontsize -70 for a 1920x1080 resolution - Tweak your /fontsize depending on it so the text doesn't look too big/small.

 

7. I have the [...] icon disabled since it will taint the SSes - Use /togtyping.

 

How the SS will turn out to be:
