Is there a way to get screen shots to save as jpeg and not bmp?

You could use a third party program such as Fraps (www.fraps.com), if you register it you can set the format it takes screens.

Thank you I do have a third party prog that does screen shots, but I would rather not have it running in the background while I'm gaming.

 

I thought taking screen shots in the game with the keyboard key would be better, but the quality of the bmp's is awful I thought if I could change it to jpeg it might improve them.

Here's the tutorial on how to convert pictures to jpeg. Or if you for example view your pictures with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (If you have Windows Xp don't know how is it on Windows 7 or Vista) open your picture with that click on the floppy disk icon chose where you want to save your picture and below File name: window you see Save as type: there you can chose a format you want your screenshot to be. Hope that helps. :thumbsup:

Thank you, that isn't the problem I would like the screen shots to save automatically as jpeg not have to convert them later. It seems the print screen key saves Oblivion screen shots as bmp, I would like to know if it's possible to change that.
