I have found out that using insert via ENB or Print Screen is not the best way for me to take screenshots. It does not take the PP effects of SweetFX into account or the ingame brightness settings. If I use SweetFX, it will take a proper screenshot, but what about when I don't use SweetFX, should I use a program to take the SS? Which program is the best for that?

I have no idea if it is the best but I use FRAPS. It is free and easy to use. I mainly need it for Bronze316's ENB's as his are built around the brightness being at its lowest setting - so ENB or SweetFX or Skyrim screenshots don't capture that. However FRAPS doesn't seem to like ultra high resolutions. It took them fine at 1.5xnative but at 2xnative it would only get a corner of the shot and often caused my system to CTD when I hit print screen.

In general I only use FRAPS now when using an ENB that requires lowered brightness settings for the best look.

@wolfgrimdark - You're right, SweetFX does not take into account the ingame brightness like I thought it did. FRAPS will work better than ENB or SweetFX, but it only takes 24bit image. What can I use that will take a 32bit image AND take into account the ingame brightness?

Here is a SS comparison with K ENB Extensive and the ingame brightness turned all the way up. Notice that FRAPS is the only one that captured the ingame brightness. Too bad the image is 24bit.
ENB doesn't even capture the SweetFX settings, so it's the worst one of the 3.

Still looking for a way to take 32bit screenshots that record the gamma.
