Screenshots are taken by either pressing the "Print Screen" key or you can press F9 key (by default) and then zoom around using the controls to set up your shot, and take it - with or without the UI. Additionally, you can hide/show the UI by pressing [ALT]+H. (Take the screenshot with the UI visible if you want to raise a customer support ticket, otherwise without is usually prettier.)

The screenshots are saved in your Perfect World directory, in element\screenshots. (Exactly where depends upon where you installed the game to; check the properties of the shortcut you use to launch the game if you are unsure.) The filename will be the timestamp of when the screenshot was taken with the extension of ".bmp" for bitmap image.

If you want to show the images elsewhere, you should load them into your image editor of choice and resave them as JPEG (smaller file size) or PNG (higher quality).
