::::And so I'm beginning to notice that. I am strongly considering becoming a part of the better Stargate Wiki (stargate-wiki.org). Though some users say my images are a welcome addition, others seem to not really appreciate what I'm doing, all the great images I've been contributing. Things are going to have to change soon. And yes, you are right--Halopedia (halopedian.com) has already easily eclipsed Halo Nation wiki, though I still put some effort into Halo Nation, simply because others have submitted images that are clearly done by myself, but has been changed--I do not like that! Still, the better Stargate Wiki needs the addition of more information, and not just nicer images like mine. --'''Xamikaze330''' | ::::And so I'm beginning to notice that.

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?

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 | How are you taking these screenshots?

Oh, that's good.

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.

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.

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 | 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.

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 | First off, I changed your comment a little bit b/c the image you posted is way too big.

Actually, I got mine for free, from my uncle, who got it from a friend of his. But to answer your first question, I can't really answer because I don't know what Eschaton is other than [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eschaton the end of the present world as we know it], but I can answer your second question. I do have iChat, I just never got around to getting it set up, because I thought I wouldn't need it.

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 | 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?

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?

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 | I've wondered what all that "pixelating" thing was called.
