How do I take screenshots?
You can press f11, which creates a .gif screenshot in your main CK directory (next to the program). The cursor won't be included.
You can use Prnt Scrn, tab out of the game, and paste the image into a graphics editor like Photoshop or Paint.
You can use an external program like FRAPS.
