Your Ascended Hydromancer's Male images
Hey there, I'm curious about the images of the Ascended Hydromancer's Male armor you uploaded. They seem to be using the low texture resolution from lower graphics options, which is curious, considering GW's screenshot feature (all textures should be loaded in high-res when taking a screenshot). Did you take the screenshots in Guild Wars or did you use an external application? --84-175 (talk) 06:57, 1 October 2006 (CDT)
 * While I've been impressed with GW's pics, they're all bitmap (which are huge files). I use the in-game screencapture (prntscrn), but I use a freeware program (irfanview) to crop and save as jpg. The loss of quality comes from using irfanview, most likely, but it's much faster to do a whole set of armor (cropping and saving as JPG's) in irfanview, than say, photoshop (although photoshop would keep more of the quality). If I have lots of time on my plate, I'll use photoshop. If not, I'll be using irfanview. -Auron [[Image:Elit Druin.jpg|||My Talk]] 07:02, 1 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I think I know now what's "wrong" with the images. I don't think IrfanView is to blame (use it myself, really nice piece of software). You took the screenshots inside a town/outpost and the char you photographed is not your own, but a different player, right? Meh, I should've thought of that. Other player chars inside a town will always be only shown in medium texture quality. --84-175 (talk) 11:53, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
