The Gaming Den

So I want to take a screenshot of a game that doesn't seem to want me to do it. When I hit Print Screen and copy pasta into photoshop, it shows me what my desktop would have looked like if the game was minimized, even if the the game is running and taking up the whole screen at the time. Is there a way to get around this bullshit?

What's the game? Some games have a "feature" wherein pressing PrintScreen saves an image of the game (usually in JPEG formt) into a folder automatically as opposed to your clipboard.

Thanks. I absolutely never ever would have guessed that these programs were "helpfully" shipping my screenshots off to hidden folders in the users directories. Problem solved.
