The latest offering for the Steam client beta from Valve adds in, among other things, a universal screenshot feature. Not only can you take screenshots of any game that uses DirectX 9 or higher, but you can save them to the Cloud, manage them, and upload them to your Steam Community profile any time you want!
Be sure to test out the new functionality and report any and all issues related to the beta to the appropriate threads!
