Okay, yes, I know that I can press CTRL + S, or use the screenshot menu, or use CTRL + PRINT and then paste into MS Paint.
My question is, how do I get good-looking screenshots with the least amount of effort? I play with station labels and town labels enabled and a bunch of world elements hidden / transparent, and that looks kind of bad on screenshots. So, how do I get a nice-looking screenshot that's suitable for the Monthly Screenshot Contest? Is there any trick that allows me to get a 1920x1080 screenshot with just the environment and trains without manually disabling a bunch of UI elements, disabling transparency, then cropping the menu bars out of the resulting image, and then re-enable all those things so I can keep playing?
What's your workflow here?

Disabling all the distracting elements and then cropping and pasting.
So, exactly the thing you're wanting to avoid.

Re: How do you take good screenshots?
You can use the "Default zoom screenshot" or "Fully zoomed in screenshot" button in the Screenshot window (from the "Query" menu, question mark icon) to take a UI-less screenshot. It will follow your current transparency settings.
