i am trying to take pictures of a lot of items in ec but was wondering if there was a faster way to just take pictures of the highlighted gear without print screen and paste into paint.

No that is not possible to perform from the game itself

In newer releases of Windows (8 and up I think, but not 100% certain) you can set your screenshots to auto save into a folder instead of to the clipboard. That's what I do. Then you can edit them at your leisure.

There are also lots of screenshot utilities out there, but I don't know which one(s) to recommend.

A bit late, but for the record:

There is a "screenshot" key you can configure under "user settings > input" just like any other key. When used, it saves the screenshots to your local "My documents" folder under "EA Games\Ultima Online Stygian Abyss\Screen Shot".

you don't even need to configure it, that's the default setting. Just press 'PrtSc' on your keyboard and find all the images in your screen shot folder.

I also thought so, but then I wasn't sure since the OP talks about pasting it into paint.

Prt Scr in EC saves to the folder.
In CC you have to use paint
