Tip: Before taking screenshots, you have the option of turning off the in-game menu by pressing F-11.

In-game, you press F-12 to take a screenshot. A little bubble in the lower-right corner of your screen will appear saying that your screenshot has been saved. (If it's not working, try restarting Steam and Terraria again. Sometimes it doesn't work.)

To find your screenshot, press Shift+Tab in-game to bring up the Steam overlay and click the option that says View Screenshots.

You can also take screenshots the old fashioned way, using the Print Screen button on your keyboard. It may be a little bit different depending on what computer you have etc., but for me, it's FN (lower left corner of the keyboard) + PRT SC (upper right corner of the keyboard). That copies the screen into your clipboard.

Then open whatever your photo editing software is (e.g. Microsoft Paint) and paste the image into it using CTRL + V to paste. Then save the image and upload it somewhere on the internet, e.g. http://photobucket.com/
