How do you take a screenshot?

[pi-r8]

How do you take screenshots in this game? When I push print screen, it saves a screen shot in .tga format, which I'm not sure how to handle. Is there a way to change that?

No, no way yet.

But you should be able to view .tga files with every up to date image program.
I recommend at this point IrfanView.

I recently discovered a workaround on another forum. Press Alt + PrtScr. Then open Paint (or your favorite graphics program). You now should be able to paste the screenie directly into the program. This worked for me and avoids first having to convert to .tga format.

Okay, I've searched on how to take a screenshot in Civ V but no luck. I know the info is probably out there, somewhere. Can someone toss me in the right direction? Thanks!
