Remember you can delete the creations after taking a screenshot, so you're not constrained to taking pictures of events and places that actually happen or appear in the adventure. You can put together a scene specially for taking a picture.That's important, because you don't want the default captain creature to show up on the picture! Unless you're making a locked-captain adventure, the captain you choose on the editor is just a placeholder, and won't even show up in the adventure! So why should it be front and center on the preview? But you can use the "freecam" cheat to allow you the freedom of choosing any camer angle you like. I know the Test Drive Mode has an important limitation on camera angles.Those are visual aids for the editor, they're not part of your adventure! That way you won't end up with the handlers and team identifyers (those green, or red squares under each creature) showing up in the image. Don't take your screenshots from the editor! You can enter the Test Drive Mode and take the shots from there.Unless you're making a planet template, that's pretty much the worse mistake you can make. Don't leave the "default" planet picture on any of the preview slots, specially the first one.Here are a few tips for getting good preview pictures: To take a screenshot you only need to click the "C" button once on your keyboard, and then sort out the four preview images you want for your adventure on the central panel where you also choose the name, genre, description and tags for your adventures. A good thumbnail is the difference between getting on the Most Popular New shortlist and barely getting any plays. The first pic is the most important of all, since that's going to be the thumbnail of your adventure. So you need at least four preview pictures to capture the player's interest.
