I'd like to know how to take screenshots of my games with the sweetfx effects visible. I currently run sweetfx (latest version) with the witcher 3 and MSI AB and RTSS.

When I use the MSI AB osd to take screenshots they don't show the sweetfx changes (just the vanilla version). How do I fix that?

I was wondering if there was a way to take them screenshots using MSI AB isntead of the built in feature (from sweetfx) because it tends to be more "crashy" and "laggy".

I often crash my games when I try to take the screenshot with the sweetfx feature. I wonder if it has to do with the fact it uses the "Prntscreen" key (which is usually the same as what most video games use for their own screenshot system)
