ok if i wanna sell something on venataris sell, instead of writing all the stats down, but instead take a picture of just that item and making a page w/ all the items i took a picture of to do an auction, how would i do that? would i need a camera or some type of program? or is there a button to push to take a picture ingame. any help would be appreciated.

Just hit printscreen. But do us a favor and a) crop it to just the useful part (item description) and b) convert it to a smaller format as .bmp is monstrous.

all of your screenshots are saved in a folder contained within your guildwars main folder. so you can just printscreen everything you need to and then go back later and crop them

http://www.irfanview.com/

I linked above a picture viewer. It's small, simple, and free. it will allow you to open the images and resize/crop the images and save them as .jpgs.

k when im useing that infranview program i insert one image to in then when i try to insert another the first one dissapears....

I'm fairly sure you can only have one image open at a time with Irfanview. Like Algren said, it's 'simple'.

Algren Cole · Jun 01, 2005, 08:03 PM // 20:03

irfanview is only a picture viewer...with a few photo-editing options. if you want to combine images you'll have to suffer through using MSPaint and be sure to save as .jpg instead of BMP...or obtain a copy of a photo-editing suite like PaintShop Pro or Photoshop.

both of those photo-editing suites run a few hundred bucks each. so I would suggest suffering through MSPaint..atleast if you want to do it legally.
