A tip for screenshots.
If you use VICE to take screenshots turn off the PAL-emulation to get screenshots with more realistic colours. |

Expand image to double size, turn pal filter on. do a screengrab, import to photoshop, crop and resize it to around 400x300.
done |

I use Picture Publisher and a local instead of a global colour palette. I think it works nicely, too. I never turn on PAL emulation. |

its always interesting to see such discussions, taking a screenshot for me needs as much brainactivity as scratching my ass. Eagerly waiting for the rest smartheads to tell how to take a screenshot in interlace, and how about the borders? Come on in, and let the show start! |

Whats wrong with Alt+C and then save as png? given your running Vice under Windows. |

Nothing at all. If you ask me that's the best way, just turn off the PAL-Emulation first :)
The way algorithm explained seems very complicated and the screenshots doesn't turn out that good either, at least not the ones I've seen. |

To add my two cents to this globally important discussion:
I only use CCS64 V2.0 for screenshots, Alt+P to pause emulation, N (or Alt+N, not sure right now) to skip frame by frame and then Alt+F1 for a 16 colour shot, and Alt+F2 for interlaced shots. (Edit: When doing mass screenshooting for the Demodungeon, I reduce the colours of screenshots in GIF Animator 4 with the batch process function to dump unused colours to eventually reduce bitdepth, then save the bmps as gif. Final conversion to PNG is then done by Exorzist).
For a quick screenshot in Vice to add to CSDB I use the built in Alt+C function and save as PNG. Please don't crop the border, it looks strange. And due to the very good PNG compression efficiency you don't save more than a couple of bytes by cropping an empty border. |

Have not have time/bothered to install the latest vice. But afik, when doing alt+c you dont get any pal emulation in the screenshot? I use alt+c quite often to "proof-read" my code. |

The PAL Emulation makes quite a difference, compare these two:
PAL on: The Final Synth Sample I
PAL off: The Final Synth Sample I |
