Tips for editing item description screen shots
My favorite image viewers/editors: My pic processing procedure
 * IrfanView (freeware for non-commercial use) - my default viewer
 * Microsoft Paint/Paintbrush (Start - Run - pbrush) or right-click a pic and select Edit.
 * Make a DDO screen shot
 * Browse the screen shots in My Documents\Dungeons and Dragons Online using IrfanView
 * Using mouse, select roughly the part of the screen shot that I need.
 * Press Ctrl+Y to keep only the selected part.
 * Press s to open Save as dialog. Save as PNG under proper name, such as Rusty Dagger (Level 28).png to my desktop.
 * Escape to close IrfanView.
 * Right-click pic, select Edit. (MS Paint opens)
 * Hold Ctrl and scroll with your mouse to zoom in.
 * Ctrl+A to select all.
 * (I am using the BlackBird skin so I don't have wings)
 * Use keyboard arrows to set the top left corner.
 * Ctrl+E, set pic width to 420 pixel.
 * (Few items are slightly wider than 420 px, then I need to undo with Ctrl+Z, and press Left keyboard arrow some more to cut few (2-3) pixels from the item border. Then again set to 420 px.)
 * Ctrl+A to select all again. (This discards the pixels we moved offscreen)
 * Clean up the right side. Usually pics are often 413 pixels wide. This means, I need to press Right keyboard arrow 7 times so that all screen shot background is offscreen.
 * Ctrl+A to select all. Press Left 3-4 times to center the pic, having 3-4 px wide white bars on both sides.
 * Scroll down, hover your mouse over the bottom end of the pic. The bottom left corner of your Paint window displays mouse coordinates. The second number is height.
 * Press Ctrl+E, set pic height appropriately.
 * Ctrl+s to save, Alt+F4 to close Paint.
 * Open pic in IrfanView.
 * Go Image > Decrease Color Depth > 64 colors. This will greatly reduce file size.
 * Save and exit.
 * Ready to upload.
