RCarter Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I just purchased a new computer and am setting up CA and other programs tonight. So I'm basically learning CA all over again. So here's my first question of several I expect to be posting over the next couple of days...I do some renderings..before I would print screen..click Paint.. paste...cut ...don't save....paste ..save as and file it..What is the process now. I'm using CA 6 and I went from vista to windows 10. Like I said this is the first of several questions I will be posting as I set up CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 File> Export> Export Picture seems to work fine for general screen resolution shots you want to save or share. Might not hurt to also post your new computer specs in your signature so others with the same can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No change in this process from Vista to Windows 10, what worked then still works now. There were and still are several methods for saving screen images or printing them, they all still work.

TheKitchenAbode Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 With Windows 10 you also have the added option to use the included Snipping Tool. This allows you to define the portion of your screen you wish to capture, it has a free form mode so you can cutout any shape you wish, definitely worth a try.

Is it the quality or speed. Speed of course is primarily the CPUs responsibility, the I7 7700 is a 4 core with hyper threading that gives you 8 logical cores, It's good compared to previous CPU generations but there are now many newer CPUs that offer everything up to 36 logical cores. Quality is of course primarily reliant on your lighting and material settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCarter Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 I appears that the rendering is too dark and not very crisp..For my purpose I can just add shadows to a 3D shot. However, I would like to do some good renderings for my better designs ( on my site ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKitchenAbode Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 That's a lighting issue and has nothing to do with your CPU. If you wish to soften the hard shadows of the direct sun then just add a bit of Environment Light, start with a fairly low number first as the effect can be very strong. For overall contrast/crispness you need to use the image adjustment properties controls, back off the brightness and increase the contrast and/or the intensity. Can take a bit of playing around with but there is a lot of control there to get the look you wish. Have always found that the default settings produce soft washed out scenes, never use them.
