Notes Section

I just want to post this here, in case anyone is interested. On the notes section, it says that the last screenshot is saved in lossless format in the clipboard. I want to note that this is a side effect of how WoW does screenshots. World of Warcraft uses the "Print Screen" button to take screenshots. Most Operating Systems have that key bound to take a bmp screenshot of the entire available screen area. Hence, when you take a screenshot in WoW, both WoW and your OS take a picture. That picture stored in your clipboard is from your OS, not WoW. What this boils down to, is if your re-bind the screenshot key in WoW, you won't get this effect.
