DO NOT USE SCREENCAPTURE.

Seriously, that's the worst possible way of getting unit graphics. Dominions 3 antialiases and possibly resizes (depends on resolution) sprites it draws so you'll get messed up results. Sure, they can be tidied up, but since the sprite dump contains every single sprite anyway, there's absolutely no point in taking screen shots to get graphics to edit.

But yes, sprite dumps are the way to go.
