How exactly do you lose control of the color depth when you do that?
goes into the clipboard when you use PrtScrn.

It uses the current screen colour depth. So it you're running 24 bit colour,
that's what you get in your bitmap. Given that LDraw is still 4 bit colour,
there's some wastage involved.

LDLite's display is 24-bit.  It has potential to display a large number of
colors, if you turn on shading, define as many different color values as
possible (I think 32K colors are allowed?), and then render them.
