It sounds awesome, the advantages would be a whole -selfedit- load of content into galaxy, I can forsee (sp?) problems with any image, people might upload pr0n or other illegal images, so it might have to be SWG screenies only.

Okay, i know i cant be the first to suggest this. But would this not be awesome??? Maybe make this available to master architects only or something. But I would love to have some Paintings of actual character activities. How many times have you had a wedding, an event, ect and taken screenies only to think ... WOW that would look phat on my wall!!!
This would be an awsome apportunity for archs, as EVERYONE would be looking for a M.Arch. Our screenies are saved in the SWG folder anyway, why not give us a separate tab in our datapad to access screenies, and make it where we could "copy" them to other ppls data pads. this would let us share our photos without having to post them somewhere or send them via emails. Then, any screenie in the arch's datapad, he could craft into a painting. limit it like the new loot items where you could only craft one painting from each "copy", if someone wanted 5 of the same painting, they would have to "copy" it to the arch 5 times, ect.
Also, how about an image viewer. Something the arch could craft similar to a painting, only the owner of the painting could "download" screenshots into it. The Image viewer would rotate the downloaded paintings every day, and visiters could access the painting to "viewimage album" - or simplify it into a small table with a imaging screen on top of it with the same idea.
But some way of allowing us to use our screenies to show off to our friends/enemies would be very cool!!

I can see the problem with people adding "inappropriate" pictures to be used as painting, but I LOVE this idea!!! Solution would be SOE would have to screen all the pictures submitted to be turned into paintings. Lots of work I know. I do agree with Laurna though. I've got some AWESOME screen shots, that I've even used as back grounds on my computers (yes, I'm a geek with more than one PC). If I'm not mistaken, isn't thier talk about master Musicians being able to upload thier own music? This would be very similar. Laurna, have you suggest this in any other way besides the forusm. i.e. e-mailing our corrospondant

This would require a whole lot of work from the DEV's. However, we should push for it whole-heartedly!

That's a beautiful idea. I want one 
The great thing about computer games is anything is possible. The frustratingpart is we know it.

Exactly, that would be the way to do it. Use a broken "camera" or some broken item and take the screenshots. You are required to loot the components to fix the handheld, then once assembled get a Master Architect to set it up, take the picture and craft the item. This way it would be somewhat rare, and could only be a 1-2 use schematic. Ifcodingpermits,you could have a preview screen (LCD on a digital camera). This would be an awesome deal for anyone who could get their hands on one.
Make it the RIS quest for *Architects*, or something....
And later down the road i'd love to see Architects getting diff designs for Player Cities, make them more base like (if faction aligned). Or be able to change the design of the guild hall banners, (possibly require a Master Image Designer) to design the schematic, (loot would be the diff colors, materials, etc) and give the schematic to a Master Architect to craft and place.
So many ideas, so little response...lol...

Great idea! It has come up in guildchat and on teamspeak more than once.

There you go. And yes, though I've often thought about it, seeing that post from Tiggs brought the same thing to mind.
Food for thought, Devs.

glad to see so many ppl on board with this
we def need some system where we can display our SWG screenshots IG. it would add much more diversity in what ppl's houses look like, as it would be very difficult for ppl to aquire the same picture.

I think this is a bad idea. It'll make it hard for those of us who collect paintings to collect them all. It'll also eat up a significant amount of database space. If you save too many 50k screenshots, the database will get more full and start lagging worse. It'll also be a pain to go in a house with one of these custom screenshots because it'll have to load the screenshot when you enter.
