Just wondering, do you take screenshots using the L&R buttons or use the Miiverse method? I've only looked at Miiverse on the 3DS system so it's not a fair comparison but, despite still looking fairly compressed, doesn't seem as poor as screenshots taken using just the game itself. What do you lot think/do?
 
I just use the ingame method because it's more convenient.
I think both have the same quality though, just viewed my Miiverse profile with my laptop and the screenshots look about the same as the ones on my SD card.
 
Miiverse is way better quality, but I used L&R until I got my New 3DS because it was more convenient. It's hard to get used to Miiverse now, though. :/
 
i actually use both methods of taking screenshots. i'll use l&r for taking screenshots on the top screen, while i'll use miiverse for taking screenshots on the bottom screen.
 
I didn't even know I could ss with miiverse. I never use miiverse, so... o///o
 
I only used l&r til someone clued me in on how to use miiverse recently. I LOVE the miiverse option because I thought taking the sd card out was too much of a pain.
 
Miiverse.

I can't do L&R because I can't put my SD card into my computer.
And uploading the images via 3Ds Imgur is incredible slow.
 
using L&R is the simplest and quickest method without exiting the game for me plus it is handy having a 32GB SD card on my 3DS
 
When something suddenly happens in the game that I want a screenshot of, I just screenshot it. If something needs to be placed online, however, I prefer to use Miiverse because it's usually only one or two pictures anyway and it's a pain to take out the SD card of the New 3DS. I have recently learned about a method where I can transfer my pictures via Wi-Fi though, which will probably make me use LR screenshots for pictures to be posted online now. I guess my vote will have to go for LR screenshots then. :)
 
I prefer the L&R method. I don't like the Miiverse method, it's too much work, and I don't like just leaving my game without even pausing it. Plus I like going through my photo gallery and seeing all of my photos.

L&R method. Miiverse takes forever to load and takes too much work. I don't like taking too much screenshots and I only take my SD card out once my photo album is full. Besides I don't really care much about image quality lol, I don't even use filters on my screenshots anyway.
 
I'm not even sure how to ss with Miiverse... can you fill us in? :)

to take a screenshot, hit the home button (while your ac game is active) and click the Miiverse button towards the top.
it takes a while to sign in (depending on your internet connection), but once it loads up it'll give you an option to save the screenshot or post a journal entry.

I like using Miiverse if I have something specific to take a screenshot of. Usually all my pictures posted on these forums are from Miiverse (town map, plot resets, etc).
If it's something like a conversation with villagers or anything that I want to save quickly I'll use l&r. it's just a pain to take out my sd card and transfer all my screenies D:
