Level Pictures and the Observer. . .HELP

I have two questions. . .

1. How do you make level pictures?
2. What is the observer?

I have a feeling these two questions are related.

Observer is the camera that views the level
Level Picture is taken also from observer mode but really there are several methods. Ctrl+P (or was it Ctrl+L) takes the screenshot.

You can go to the level editor, and then while you press F11 while being the camera so that you stay as camera rather than back to marble (i.e. observer) then you can do Ctrl+P/L.

Another method is Print Scrn and edit the piccy and name it like the mis name i.e. MyAwesomeLevel.mis and MyAwesomeLevel.jpg or .png

And for more info about the level editor [and also gives the same answers as above], check Marble Blast Level Editor - The Complete Guide : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPmR7spHITI ( which I created :) )
