Screenshot

How does it work while ingame? F12 doesn't do it so im not doing something.

There are two ways to do it.

1. Click on the camera icon on the bottom bar and use the in-game camera tool. These screen shots are stored in the game's userdata folder.

2. Use Steam to take screen shots. You need to enable screenshots in Steam settings. Then handle things in the usual way for Steam screenshots.

I can give you more details for either approach if you need them.

It's not the game, it's Steam that takes the screenshots.
Check your Steam Settings/In Game (drop down menu above left).
Make sure that the Steam Overlay is active and that the screenshot hotkey is set to F12 by default (or anything else you wish). You may also define which folder the screenshots are saved to.
A lesser known function is the ability to take high resolution screenshots by using Shift and F12, but these will of course be much larger files and as such will be too large for uploading and posting as 'screenshots'. Instead, you may upload and post them as artwork in your Workshop.
When you exit a game, go to your Profile/Screenshots and you may manage them from there. Upload screenshots you have taken to your Workshop/Profile. Then, when you refresh and open them, you may copy the URL and then post the shot where you wish.

Are you sure that's a Steam feature? I find references to that keybinding belonging to Cities Skylines. Steam shouldn't be able to take screenshots of higher than your screen resolution, it would depend on the game itself to provide a feature to render the scene at higher-than-display-resolution. Cities Skylines and Transport Fever both offer this feature, but it's not a Steam thing.

If you are happy to and know the folder's location you can also use the good old Windows key + Print screen command to take a screenshot of the monitor's display.

No need for Windows key, PrtScn alone is sufficient. You can modify it with Alt to only capture the active window (not applicable for fullscreen games of course). And note that it may not be able to capture a screenshot of applications (typically games) running in exclusive fullscreen mode (as opposed to fullscreen borderless windows).

Thanks alot SoftwareSimian for taking the time to respond. Sounds easy once you know what to do.
