Black screen issue with CATIA's Pixel Mode Screenshot tool

Hello


I am using CATIA v5r20 on Windows 8.1.
It works very well except for my screenshots.
When I want to take a screenshot with the pixel mode (output .png), I get a black image. Only vector outputs work but not image outputs.
Has anyone ever encountered this image capture problem where the captured image is black?
And if so, how did you solve this problem?

Thank you for your help.

good evening @ Bendesarts

To capture an image, select Tools->Image->Capture.... The capture bar opens.  
Depending on whether you want to capture the figure or the tree, you must  
Choose a pixel (      ) or vector (       ) capture. 
Click on the input       icon and using the mouse, frame the image you want to capture and then click on the 
of an album       . Choose Tools->Image->Album...  
to see the contents of this album. 
Images stored in the album can be 
saved in different formats (JPG, BMP,...) with 
      icon . 
If the images are intended to be printed, it is preferable to change some input settings: the 
Wallpaper should be white and white lines should be printed in black. To do this, click 
options icon         and make the following changes: 
- in General, check White background
- in Miscellaneous, check Capture white vectors in black

Hello

I'm in catia v5 64b r22 sp3 under Windows 8.1.

Personally I prefer to use greenschot http://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetgreenshot.org%2Ffr%2F&ei=EksqVNrvBJLxaOHogaAJ&usg=AFQjCNE8Qdax3JVZwons0YzuvezbsOd7uQ&sig2=IopY1NRk6WHSptfgP3pzdA&bvm=bv.76477589,d.d2s

I press Print screen and I select the area and it's direct to .png

Hello

No PB in R22 I assume that you checked the options (you are in color).

Hello

It looks like a graphics problem, maybe updating the graphics card drivers will solve the problem.

See recommended drivers here:
