Before you begin, make sure that, unless you're providing screenshots for Steam Workshop, you should keep the in-game screenshot as "vanilla" as possible, aka not having your mod shown in the screenshot, and some external changes. If you modify some commands for better visibility (eg. ) or to point out something (eg. a marker (external change)), try to make sure you write a notice about the change. In general, try not to have any visible modified things in the screenshots

Run the game in Realism to disable most glow. I can't find a command to disable glow yet so this is just a workaround to take a clear screenshot without glow effect in it

Here is how you can take a good screenshot to be upload and use on this wiki

Execute these command: (will also disable achievements, and are essential for most of the commands listed here) (this will hide almost all hud element, which the exception of the survival clock, your teammate hud, and (probably) custom hud from custom campaign) (this will hide your view model hands)

WARNING: It is not recommended to use . The command work nearly identical as, with a benefit of also hiding your teammate hud (which   doesn't), but with a main drawback that you will most likely cannot go to the pause screen to either quit the game or enter command into the console. Only use this when you want other survivors to be in your shot, but be prepared to try and quit the game by other means. Otherwise, run the game in singleplayer and kick the survivor bot out by using, depending on which survivor you are kicking. Changing the survivor bot's visible names does not affect the original bot name, which this command depend on

Optional command: (this will allow you to fly around the map and make it easier to either take something that are too close to the ground, or a high up view) (this command will stop the director AI from spawming common and special infected. unless it is necessary for your shot, you should always execute this command)

If it is possible, set anti-aliasing and filtering mode to the highest setting that your computer can run, along with in-game graphic and effect to High. You can set it back to the setting you prefer once you're done with taking the images

The recommended resolution for the image is 1920x1080, while the minimum is 1280x720. This recommendation most likely doesn't apply if your screenshot is cropped
