User blog:Glaciersong/Uploading Images

Over the past few months, I have seen questionable image quality. Images are blurry, too small, irrelevant, etc. So I will make a guide on how to upload the best images and I hope you will all help me replace the bad images.

Naming Images
This seems like something small, but for organization purposes (and my OCD), all images should be named properly. Images should not be name "Screenshot 101 at 5.4 AM" or "Hiiiiii" or whatever. PNG format images are the most clear. JPG and GIF compress the images. So if you upload any of these images, please put them the category "Unsatisfactory Pic" because they will eventually need to be replaced.

Naming Wizards Wearing Equipment
These should be named under the following format:

EquipWizard-ItemSet-Gender.png

For example, EquipWizard-Angel-F.png would indicate a female player wearing the "set" of equipment with Angelic Shroud, Winged Helm, and Angel Wing.

Naming Pet Icons
These should be named under the following format:

PetIcon.png

For example, AureateIcon.png would indicate an Aureate icon.

Other Items
The way images are named will always vary, but most items will be named their original name if they so not fall into a category.

For example, a nonplayable character, Sir Vey is named SirVey.png and yes, capitalization matters.

Producing the Best Image Quality
I will use an example that should solve most problems. Screenshotting your wizard for galleries. If you use a picture for a gallery, make sure not to leave blank space in between the icon and the edge of the photo because that makes your pictures on tables really big.
