I had already created the file autoexec.

cfg for all my settings including the on

e for 100% quality jpegs:
jpeg_quality 100
The last line of autoexec.cfg is:
exec userconfig.cfg
My user config is basically a game photography config. Some of the instuction be
low are redundant to the instructions above but I tend to include documentation
in my configs.
----------------------------------------------- userconfig.cfg -----------------
------------------------------------------------
// 4est's Photo Config
// If you don't have an autoexec config, use notepad to create one and place it
in the "cfg" folder.
// C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\name@email.com\half-life 2\hl2\cfg
// Be sure to place the following three commands in your autoexec.cfg
// and remove the first two "//" from each line.
//jpeg_quality 100 // 100% quality screenshots that you take
//sv_cheats 1 // Enables cheats - required by zoom script
//exec userconfig.cfg // Executes the userconfig.cfg file
// If you don't have one already, create a userconfig.cfg file in the "cfg" fold
er, same as above.
//-------- Put the following in your userconfig.cfg --------
// Following is a snapshot toggle which removes the HEV hud and the x-hairs.
// It's good for action shots where you would expect to see a weapon.
alias snapon "cl_drawhud 0; bind mouse3 snapoff"
alias snapoff "cl_drawhud 1; r_drawviewmodel 1; bind mouse3 snapon"
bind mouse3 snapon
// Below is a photography toggle which removes the HEV hud, x-hairs and weapon m
odel.
// It is designed for taking "photos" when no living enemy is around.
alias photo "cl_drawhud 0; r_drawviewmodel 0; bind kp_minus noto"
alias noto "cl_drawhud 1; r_drawviewmodel 1; bind kp_minus photo"
bind kp_minus photo

// This toggle is for Black and White jpegs

alias BWon "mat_hsv 1; bind mouse3 BWoff"
alias BWoff "mat_hsv 0; bind mouse3 BWpon"
bind kp_plus BWon
bind mouse4 jpeg // bind to take the jpegs

// The following is a modified version of "Korons TFC Zoom version 2".

// It is used for some zooming, composition and wide-angle shots.
// Unfortunately, game wide-angle is not the same as a real wide-angle lens.
// It seems HL2 requires "sv_cheats 1" in the autoexec.cfg for this to work.
