Regarding the recent reversion of the lighting/color correction: I am well aware that the image appears the way it does in ''The Art of Halo''. However, I also believe it's rather counterproductive to recreate obvious printing imperfections as opposed to replicating the actual coloration from the [[Halo: Combat Evolved|original source]]. Now, for some bizarre reason, this exact image does not appear to exist online in high resolution (if it did, I would've uploaded that instead) - [http://b3.img.v4.skyrock.net/3555/70053555/pics/3097717803_2_3_QthoUAZO.jpg 899 x 506] is the biggest version that Google image search can provide. But even a cursory look at [https://www.google.com/search?hl=fi&q=installation+04&tbm=isch&tbs=simg:CAQSYgmKIGsUfMfnUhpOCxCwjKcIGjwKOggBEhTBB6EEqgewBJQHnQSkBJcE9gaNBxogZvcTNKtBici4GriDv2Wjg-Y2p4xHiVCNhTV4er-5iAcMCxCOrv4IGgAMIYdERDJ9BBDW&sa=X&ei=hyjEUZGFOuXJ4ATQ_oHoCA&ved=0CCUQ2A4oAQ&biw=1920&bih=922 the results] (or for that matter, the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' main menu) makes it obvious that the coloring is supposed to be much darker. It's not a huge issue, but since we have this as the main image, the washed out coloration is a little distracting. ---[[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> 06:41, 21 June 2013 (EDT)

:Very well. I will upload a new one with the darker lighting, along with most of the white blemishes removed. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmit</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 11:35, 21 June 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330
::By the way, you forgot that there is another image I [[:File:HCE-AlphaHalo-SurfaceDetail.jpg|uploaded]] that is directly from the game itself. Of course I had to dial up the lighting a little bit because for some odd reason, every time I take a screenshot of a video game using Screen Grab on my computer, it always is far darker than it is supposed to be. (This never happens with screenshots from TV shows or movies.) But just because there is another means that this one nor the other should be deleted. Anyway, I thought we were originally going with an updated screenshot of Alpha Halo from ''Halo Anniversary''? --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmit</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 11:47, 21 June 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330
:::I went with the original ring over the ''Anniversary'' redesign for a number of reasons, the most important one being the fact that the imagery is simply more iconic and definitive. All other media featuring the Halos or Installation 04 itself use the original ring design largely unchanged, whereas the rather drastic redesign in ''Anniversary'' is the only instance to deviate from the norm. It's true that we ''generally'' tend to use the most recent appearance, but since this case pits an iconic and well-established design against a one-off anomaly originating from a game that is essentially an ''offshoot'' of the original (I like to think of ''Anniversary'' as an "alternative artistic interpretation" as opposed to an all-out retcon), I think it's best to go with the original version. --[[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> 16:57, 21 June 2013 (EDT)
::::Oh, well that makes sense, I guess. I mean, it was the first ''Halo'' game to come out after all. And yes, from that standpoint, it is rather an alternative artistic interpretation. Personally, I think 343 Industries used it more as an exercise, just to get a feel for what they're about to do. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmit</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 17:08, 21 June 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330
==Too Many Images: Deletion of Some, but not All==
Could someone please delete the older previous versions for me, please? Everything except for the last two current images. Special emphasis on '''EXCEPT THE LAST CURRENT TWO IMAGES'''. Thanks. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmit</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 11:53, 21 June 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330
:You know what? Scratch my last, I changed my mind. Go ahead and delete the other image, so that there is only the one with darker lighting. I uploaded the one with increased lighting as a separate file, then linked them to each other. Good compromise, I should think. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmit</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 16:50, 22 June 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330
