A Brief Guide to Using Images for Items on EU
The following presumes some small measure of familiarity with image editing.
Image Submitter Instructions
- 1. Crop the image to remove any extraneous background--this makes the item the focus of the image.
2. Delete the background surrounding the item.
3. Save the image as a 24-bit png file. (This allows the background to be transparent so that the image looks good--and is only of the item--no matter which template or browser the player is using to view the website.)
4. Make sure the item fits the size requirements listed here.
5. Upload this image to the Image Submission thread.
- 1. Download the submitted item.
2. Upload it to the image site. Put the poster's name in the description ("Submitted by __")
3. Delete the photo from the original post and instead include a link to the new linked image and show it within an image tag.

Note: Duplicate images are not desired & images that do not represent items which are already canonical are not desired.
I know myself I would like to see the following on some:
- No Shadows
- Images Rotated so longest dimension is horizontal
- Resized to fit the standards
- All Weapons, facing to the right (handles on left, business end on the right)
- As close to profile or front, as possible
