Don't you normally crop the picture anyway? Otherwise you get all sorts of stuff that you don't want in the picture, stuff that is potentially incriminating.
See that is why I like Gadwin, cause of the rectangular feature. So I crop as I am taking the picture, not in post-processing. I have the no-red lines pause mod thingy doohicky, so I take pictures this way:
F5 - to get out of live mode and get rid of anything queued up
F10 - drop UI
F9 - Gadwin Hotkey
Then I take pic, then go back, by F10, F1.
I have been doing it so long, that it is automatic.
Quinctia:
I have a very bare-bones screencap program (MGrab)...so I can play full-screen, not use up much resources, take pictures with the UI if I want, without the UI if I want. I get .bmp images that are the same resolution as my panel (1280x800). I frame my shots knowing how I generally crop them (more at a normal ratio), and if I see something interesting after the fact, the image is still big enough to "zoom" in on that detail, if I want.
...I don't mind the pause frame (or even the action queue) because at this point, it's such a small proportion of my visible screen. I wasn't too fussed about it when I was playing 800x600, either, but I had other picture taking issues to maximize my sucktastic graphics chip then, too.

Like the teleporter painting hanging on the wall, yupyupyup. I frequently crop just for better framing and (again) smaller file sizes for the finished images.
I recently upgraded to a widescreen flat monitor and am also now having the aggravation that "what I see" and "what is captured in the screenshot" is slightly different, with a strip being added to the top of every shot that often unbalances the framing the scene, or captures things like the stairwell openings in my ceiling tiles. Bah!

Ms. B, with all due respect to a Sims 2 storyteller as great as you are:
Why the *heck* are you still using the in-game camera?
Get a good Screen Capture program, like Gadwin PrintScreen. I have been using that, with Irfanview to batch process after, for years.
http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/
http://www.irfanview.com/
Both free.
Maybe I´m missing something here, but what is wrong with the ingame camers ... (other that it now is acting up after installing FT) ???

Simsample:
It's just that it gives a fairly low res image, which is a JPEG (compressed format)- so sometimes you get a lot of compression artifacts (those blocks of solid colour in areas of similar colour). I like to use Screenhunter.
