Introduction / Taking the screenshot

Hello everyone!
I see a lot people around here who did not played Diablo 2 and can't post a reasonable screenshot, so i decided to write a short how-to for them.
First of all, you can find all the previous guides in here: How to post screenshots

To take your screenshot, move your mouse over the item to show its stats and hit the "Prt Sc" Button on your keyboard.


How to find my screenshot?

*Under Windows 7*
You can reach your screenshot folder under the Library > Diablo III section.


Taking a good screenshot / Editing

*If you don't wish to edit your screenshot, just skip this section.*

Posting a 800x700 pixel image might cause users to leave your topic immediately, so i recommend you to edit them a bit.
Open up your image with an editor (Photoshop, Paint, Gimp), select a new document and hit Ctrl + V buttons to insert.
With the selection tool, select the part what you need from the image and hit right mouse button > Cut.
Make a new document and Ctrl + V (Paste your selection. Move the sides until the image fits the field.)

*Please do not cut the necessary parts like Level Requirement, or Durability or Weapon Type. Doing this may cause spam in your thread.*
A great Example: http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/zz114/inyourface_/fefe3-1.png

Uploading / Registration on Photobucket

It is highly recommended to use a stable site for your uploads, to avoid future problems.
With Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/), you need to create your own account, but you will be able to create many folders to manage your uploads.

Open this webpage: http://photobucket.com/ *(Recommended) Other sites: tinypic.com ; imageshack.us*
Select Sign Up / Registration option on the right side, fill all the needed information's and hit the Sign Me Up button. If you had done this, you can start uploading your pictures.

Search for the button on the top side and click on it. You will be directed to the upload section, where you need to select your files from your PC. After the upload done, just hit the Save and Continue to my Albums button and pick the Direct link of the image.

*While you upload the image, please check the settings. Some sites may re-size your uploads.*

Posting

If you finished the uploading, just pick the direct lick of the image: http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/zz114/inyourface_/fefe4.png , and insert between [IMG][/IMG] tags.
*One click in the direct link field on Photobucket will copy the link instantly.

If you need help adding an image, follow the guide for uploading images below.
You need 15 Posts in order to be able to post images.
