Hello guys and gals...I have browse through so many Trade forum and one thing comes to my mind. How do I take the Item description photo? Do i have to get somekind of photoshop program? or Does Window xp have a build in Photoshop program?

Thx for the advice in advance.

You can just press "Prt Sc" and you will get a screen cap. It will be a .jpg in your guild wars directory which you then crop in photoshop the picture so all you see is the item.

Nope it simple really all you need is ms paint.

Ingame: put the mouse over the item u want to have the picture of and press the button labeled "print screen" on your keyboard it should be near "scroll lock".
That will put an image into your guild wars game folder the path will be displayed inchat in the game it will be somthing like this :
c:\program files\guildwars\screenshots

Open it with ms paint and just use the cut tool to cut the item description out of the picture. open a new ms paint and paste the "Cut" image into it then save as "namehere.jpg"

Paint can be found in start menu-programs-accesories-paint
