Ranger Elite Luxon armor/Female images
I noticed you uploaded some new images for this gallery. While they are good quality, they're not really any better than the ones we already had, so I reverted to the old ones in order to keep the gallery consistent. If you would still like to contribute, and we would be happy if you did, please read over our guidelines for image quality first, so that you can contribute better pictures than what we have. The images you uploaded are mostly acceptable, with only a couple obvious problems: 1) disable post-processing effects, and 2) use the described location on the Isle of the Nameless for a clean background (there may be more that I'm not seeing, so please read the guidelines anyway). Also it would be best if you replaced the entire gallery, instead of just the gray images.

Otherwise, welcome to the wiki, and happy editing! &mdash;Dr Ishmael 15:21, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. Those images I replaced just really were pretty ugly as /attention looks kinda ridiculous I feel. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Scommo (contribs).


 * Yeah, /attention is pretty ridiculous, but that's what some people thought was the best at one point, so we've got a number of galleries still stuck with it. Like I said above, though, we'd love for you to update that gallery (and any others you feel like), just make sure to follow the quality guidelines.

Ahh cool yes thanks will sort the signature. With that Luxon gallery I will try again soon, the dyeing the armour purple is gonna be scary but at least its cheap and reversible &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scommo (contribs).


 * Yeah, I dyed one of my armors white after realizing the gray images weren't right. --JonTheMon 21:52, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * It doesn't have to be purple - the point of the dyed images is to show what portions of the armor are affected by dye, so a color that stands out well is best. Of course, purple might be the best on that armor, but red or yellow are often good choices as well.  Green is another good one on other armors, but since the base coloring of this armor is already mostly green, it probably wouldn't work here.
 * The new images you uploaded look really nice, but somehow you uploaded them to the wrong filenames. You did it right the first time, so I don't know what you did different this time.  The easiest way to make sure you get the same filename is just click the existing image to go to the file's page, then click on "Upload a new version of this file."  The filenames with the pixel prefix (e.g. "File:125px-Ranger Elite Luxon Armor F gray back.jpg") are actually the thumbnail filenames, and I'm not at all sure how you did that.
 * I did notice a couple things on the new images that should be changed, though: 1) The full-armor images (the top three in the gallery) should include the mask. I know the old images didn't, and you probably just followed what they had.  2) The headgear images should be headgear only, i.e. remove the chest armor.  Other than those two little things, they look great!  The positioning and lighting especially are top-notch.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 22:04, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

lol yeah its really weird I dont know why they did not upload this time - its the strangest thing. Will give it another shot thanks^^

its really wierd that first image seems to keep reverting back to the shot taken at Yaks bend. Not sure whats going on there. Will take some more shots later with those ohter changes you mentions - cheers &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scommo (contribs).


 * That's a problem with Wikia's image caching servers - they don't always update as quickly as they should. I'm seeing very pixelated thumbnails of all the images, both in the gallery and in the "File history" section on the image pages.  The images themselves are fine, just the thumbnails are messed up.  Hopefully the servers should resolve this issue on their own within a few hours.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 00:30, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
