Low Rez Armor...
I've been eyeballing some of the low resolution armor screenshots (I'm giving special attention to the Mesmer Obsidian armor/Female at the moment, but Warrior Tyrian armor/Female and Paragon Elonian armor/Male are more examples), which are so low resolution that much of the detail present on the armor is severly degraded or missing (eg, the chain-link pattern on the warrior armor and the patterns present on the paragon dye areas, although the chunks of obsidian on the mesmer armor are almost completely missing). Do you think there would be strong objection if I were to replace some images of this nature with something that includes a little more of the detail? Yamagawa 05:08, 8 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Go right ahead. Bigger and better armor images are always appreciated.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 05:49, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * So noted. I will consider these fair game for updates.  If I replace a perfectly good set of images with a higher resolution set without stating what detail I intended to reveal/improve, I will consider it fair game for reversion.  Yamagawa 19:41, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Usually just comparing the new image to the previous should make it quite obvious, so don't worry about it too much. A lot of these need a larger size (around 200x500px or so, instead of 120x300), and better jpg compression (i.e. NOT MSPaint), as well as higher Anti-aliasing.  All of these points have been discussed many times before, and I think you are familiar with them.  If you think you're improving it, do it.  If something is "wrong" with your new version, we will comment on it and let you know how it can be improved.  If you are not sure, you can do one gallery as a start and ask for input.  If people like it, you can do more the same way.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 21:23, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
