These, I think, are all the most important screenshots I want to see uploaded to Halopedia and/or elsewhere, where I can go save them to edit later when I have the time to work on them. So hopefully this is relatively helpful, and to further ease any screenshot-taking guy's concerns, I will try to update this little list every time I remember something.

Done. Standing by, waiting until tomorrow. FYI, maybe try to get a couple other screenshots of M6 Spartan Laser, but with a better background, like not snowy? More like desert sand color almost, something like that. What is that funny glow-blur, that St. Elmo's Fire-type phenomena thingy? --Xamikaze330

How are you taking these screenshots? In Campaign or in Multiplayer? Whichever way make sure it's something like on the sands of Sandtrap, or maybe somewhere sandy and sunny in Voi, Kenya, or on the Ark maybe, or ''something''. Surely this cannot be too much to understand (no offense), right? But if you are unable to, then these will have to do, just need to change a few things in Photoshop, hopefully with little or no problems. --Xamikaze330

Oh, that's good. Still, if it's not too much trouble, please take some more screenshots of the M6 Spartan Laser with a sandy-type background, or maybe some green grass, with lots of sunlight, and hopefully that "teardrop" of light will be slightly less noticeable.

Well, the Covenant Carbine scopes screenshots are excellent, but the newer M6 Spartan Laser screenshots from ''Halo 3'' were not quite what I had hoped for, but I made do with the previous ones I already downloaded. So, all in all, thanks a lot! Please keep checking back with me on the above list!

A), your probably forgot to put up a  new link, or B), If you referring to the current screens of the M6 Spartan Laser, then it is because they are not "perfect" dead-on profile shots. As for the ''Halo: Reach'' M6 Spartan Laser, I just don't like that bothersome black shadowy edges around them. Not to worry, though. Everything will be fine, you will see. I'm actually quite pleased with all the screenshots I downloaded, and I think you shall really like the end results. Just a few tweaks, and they are ready to go. Stand by, and prepare to be impressed, or whatever. Oh, FYI, they are on my [http://toraiinxamikaze.deviantart.com/ DeviantART] right now, if you want to view them (I make it so it is easier to find on the Internet, rather than just having them isolated to one site). --Xamikaze330

First off, I changed your comment a little bit b/c the image you posted is way too big. And secondly, that image is not something I wish to edit in Photoshop without being accused of copyright infringement (because it belongs to Isaac Hannaford), something people do not seem to understand despite my [http://toraiinxamikaze.deviantart.com/journal/ official statement] in my journal, and thus have been forced to take other measures to preserve what little is left of my honor as a Halopedian. So, if it is not too much to ask, could you please get me those screenshots I asked for, please? Besides, this image does not have the kind of color tones I wish to display, in fact, it lacks in color other than black, grey or white. That is another reason why I wish for these screenshots. So, please accept my humble apologies for any inconvenience I may have caused. --Xamikaze330

Yeah, I've already submitted it to Halopedia, but someone else keeps taking it off, claiming that it "looks exactly like the one(s) already on the page". As for the legal stuff, I'm going to try to find a way to contact both Bungie and 343i about what I've been doing on DeviantART, promoting and community interest in Halo (as well as effectively advertising for Halo), with absolutely no thoughts towards profit, only doing a service, as I've constantly insisted that I was. But that's only if I can find a way to successfully contact them, preferably by email. Otherwise, I may just have to stick to PhotoBucket--I'm just trying to make it easier for people who love great digital art such as myself

Interesting. This may actually help, when I do feel the need to take a screenshot, but only if my computer will let me. Sometimes it won't let me with certain applications, but who knows? Regardless, it doesn't really matter. I stand by what I said earlier.

To Subtank: the ZIP file downloads you suggested work only for Windows, not Mac OS X. If you could somehow provide some other links to software that can be used with the Mac version of HCE, that would be great. To Vegerot: I'm afraid your way doesn't work for me, and I'm not sure why. To say things as simple as possible without giving away too much information, my copy of HCE is not an "official" licensed copy.

== Images and anti-aliasing ==
== Images and anti-aliasing ==


First off, you've done a fine job with most of your image cutouts so far, but looking over some of your reuploads, I have to ask - how exactly is making the edges more pixelated supposed to improve the image quality? To illustrate an example, [http://www.halopedian.com/images/archive/4/4e/20111026191909%21Engineer_renderized.png before] and [http://www.halopedian.com/images/4/4e/Engineer_renderized.png after]. All the difference I can see is that your version lacks the anti-aliasing of the original, making the edges more jagged. In the following image: [http://www.halopedian.com/images/archive/7/71/20111006164800%21H2V_Elite_Major.png before] and [http://www.halopedian.com/images/7/71/H2V_Elite_Major.png after], even the colors in the new one seem lower quality when closely inspected. The color quality downgrade and the edge pixelation can also be seen in these: [http://www.halopedian.com/images/archive/a/a7/20110825151748%21PORTABLE_COMPUTER_H3-transparent.png before] and [http://www.halopedian.com/images/a/a7/PORTABLE_COMPUTER_H3-transparent.png after]. So what's the deal with that? To me, anti-aliased edges look much cleaner than the "sharpened" ones. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 16:31, 31 October 2011 (EDT)

I've wondered what all that "pixelating" thing was called. Now that I do, perhaps I can rectify that, with a little time and work. But to answer your question, especially with the H2V Elite Major and Minor, I just didn't like all the unnecessary blurriness around the edges, so I tried to change that by indexing it, and by default, the colors become anti-aliased. But maybe I can fix that now. Just need to do some research, though. This can be fixed. Oh, about my other renders I did myself, I used Refine Edge, with contrast set to 100%. So, sorry about any inconvenience I caused, I was just trying to help improve the quality of the images. What I did seemed to make them look a little better. Anti-aliasing isn't all that bad, I mean, they are plenty of indexed color images already on Halopedia that I did not already change to indexed color. I will try to fix this, without the anti-aliasing, if you like. And even if you don't, it may still come in handy in the future. --Xamikaze330

Hey Xamikaze330,
Hey Xamikaze330,


Just to inform you again to not go scan-crazy with the book mediums (I noticed you purchased the Art of Halo 3). You should only do so if there is no image of the subject. For example, the [[:file:H4-JanusKey-ScanRender.png|Janus Key as a whole]] is within reasonable grounds to be scanned since it is impossible to obtain an intact image from the cutscenes of Spartan Ops. However, there might be an issue with the [[:file:H4-PrometheanCryptum-ScanRender.png|scanned Cryptum]] since the wiki already has an image of the Cryptum from officially released media. The same goes with the scanned images of the Arbiter, Missile Pod, Cryotube, etc.. etc.. Just another heads up. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  19:44, 16 September 2013 (EDT)

Right, so that's pretty much it. If you don't want a transparent background in the box, simply change where it says "background-color: transparent;" to "background-color: <--example color here-->;."

==A hard suggestion :(==
Hey there, I have a huge ask. And its gonna be a lil hard I know... you know your personal galleries. Could we clear them. My reasoning is as follows:
*We have categories that do similar things. If one doesnt exist it could be made.
*A lot (and this is to put them in a standard) need renamed and clearing them will assist in that via not needing to fix those pages every time one is renamed. (Dont want to also cause a Wanted image issue again, which renaming without fixing would do here)
*Some scattered images also are only in them, so to find them easier clearing them will allow the images to go into the "unused images" area giving us a clear way to find all them. This also stops another scenario where someone uploads a image that was in a gallery you maintained, but didnt know about your galleries. Which has happened, even I have made that mistake in the past cause no duplicate warning was given.
I hope my suggestion is understood. I do plan to ask a lot of users the same thing also as this is a huge task to fix a image issue on the wiki, cause it was born off images not the best organised and badly managed till hopefully after a couple months now.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 19:05, 31 August 2018 (EDT)
:In response to your suggestion, I would prefer you not clear them. I confess I am rather attached to my galleries. Some images within could be considered "unused", and having them in my galleries is my way keeping them from being deleted if they appear unused, or have yet to be used. But if there truly is a pressing need, perhaps maybe they could be cleared if absolutely necessary. If worse comes to worse, I can simply make them discoverable on my Flickr (as PhotoBucket has now failed me). And yes, I am aware that Halopedia (and Destinypedia) are not image hosting sites. But I have already stated my reasoning for wishing they remain. Even if those same images are used in an image category or categories, and not actually used in an article, I feel like some might think that any image(s) may be unused. So for now, I'm not completely convinced that my galleries need be cleared (and for the record, are for the most part, organized). I hope this answer may be sufficient, and that I have read and understood your reasoning as best as I could. --[[User:Shazamikaze|<span style="color:black; font-family: Halo3; font-weight:bold; font-size:110%">'''Shazamikaze,'''</span>]] [[Halopedia:Patrollers|<span style="color:grey; font-family:skia">''Halopedia Team''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Shazamikaze|<font color="Black">'''Talk'''</font>]]</sup>Shazamikaze
::The thing is I wasnt planning on deleting the unused images unless they are dupes or truely bad quality and better ones exist, I wanna try and get most images that are 100% useful on the wiki instead of being well... hidden in a users gallery which a lot are. This one however is the easier of the two things I am wanting to do as I could of always "temporary" deleted the galleries to find them all within 3 days.
::And we really do need to get all the images to a naming standard, galleries like these (there is many others mind you, I have a long week ahead of me to ask folks if I/them can wipe their galleries) really shot my foot when trying to fix them as they are simply too huge for me to manually fix them, the naming standards for files was a huge part of my Halopedia Improvement Project when I was writing that up which once finished will be easier to manage in the longer run.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 00:51, 1 September 2018 (EDT)
:::Well to add to above cause it may expand a lil bit of stuff. If done correctly Categories would be great as a replacement. Some have been needing a master category, and some stuff in your galleries would be great as brand new categories. Keeping the galleries like almost the same but with more images and category branches not even in your galleries.
:::Like I am going to be honest and say your galleries have some great organisation in some areas that could fix/complete a lot of stuff in categories if it was pushed that way. I didnt dislike the ideas in those galleries after all.
:::I just think they are better as categories than user page galleries most folks wont see sadly, which I hope you agree is a issue also. Even I moved my gallery projects (The unofficial HW2 Blitz artbook for example) to places that folks will see cause it wasnt doing may folks good in my user space.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 08:27, 1 September 2018 (EDT)
::::It is getting harder and harder to avoid your galleries in the images I am currently renaming... can this please by done at some-point during the week? I'd rather not use redirects as it kinda defeats the purpose of the image tidy up. And going through it manually is very unmanageable cause its a swamp of images.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 10:58, 5 September 2018 (EDT)
:(''reset indent'') Then my galleries can be cleared, if only temporarily, maybe (Still thinking on that last part). They probably need to reorganized offline anyway. I would like to know how to make my galleries to be edited by other people. Please tell me you're not messing with the chosen file naming scheme I went with for some of the images I submitted? --[[User:Shazamikaze|<span style="color:black; font-family: Halo3; font-weight:bold; font-size:110%">'''Shazamikaze,'''</span>]] [[Halopedia:Patrollers|<span style="color:grey; font-family:skia">''Halopedia Team''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Shazamikaze|<font color="Black">'''Talk'''</font>]]</sup> 11:17, 5 September 2018 (EDT)Shazamikze
::Well the idea was to make all the images have this sorta thing with all images <code>File:<SOURCE OF IMAGE> <DESCRIPTION></code>. What I am planning on doing is making it so all images from a specific piece of Halo media will share the <SOURCE OF IMAGE> which for example all images in Halo 3 will share "H3", Halo 2 "H2", so on. With improving the descriptions of many that are unhelpful. So pretty much a lot of your images "should" be fine. I hardly (Like maybe once or twice if ever) ever conflict on that front with your images you uploaded from the past year that is for sure, but its really a case by case thing.
::A lot of this is groundwork for greater things regardless, like improving categories which sorely need a update in a lot of areas, a huge idea of mine is to make "Game image" categories that house images of a certain game using a bot to add the game category to files that have certain <Source of Image>. This however will need discussed after this lol.
::On a related note: I actually have links to your galleries on the internet archive Favorited (I'll send you a dm of them, I just updated them to todays version, though they are going into my project page so you can find em easily enough regardless) to help improve categories actually once I was done fixing filenames of stuff, your galleries are certainly something I do wish to use in some form. Plus categories allows users (and us admins) to add to them.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 12:15, 5 September 2018 (EDT)
:::I am ready for the wipe now. I hope its cool? I left it this long so you can at least do stuff with it prior but its simply to hard to avoid them now.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 10:52, 21 October 2018 (EDT)
