Its very simple actually
I will show steps on how to with pictures

First step find your steam directory


Second step open userdata


Third step open up one of the folders inside userdata


Fourth step open the 760 folder (this is where steam stores screenshots from your games)


Fifth step enter the remote folder


Sixth step if you plan to publish your picture as a portal 2 screenshot


Seventh step open the screenshots folder (then you should saa all of your portal 2 screenshots)


Step eight copy you pics here (Note must be a jpg file for it to work so make sure it is a jpg before you copy it)


Ninth step go to your steam library and press the screenshots for whichever game you put the pics in (I added a custom nonsteam game for my pics)


Wahoo you should now be able to publish all your pics as a screenshot

Thanks for reading

Since recent update
Take a screenshot ingame then put the name of the screenshot on the name of your picture and then replace the screenshot with your picture.

"You have to rename your shots as a recently taken screen. Don't forget to rename the thumbnail as well. It's date and time. Will look something like 2016090432_1. Jpg


Game On!"

Lol the hlf 2 physics cannon used to be a mod on thinkingwithportals website before the website was taken down.
If you are wanting to get it ask the modder Camben, he probably doesnt have it any more though fyi.
