:: Looks great and I'm happy to help get them populated. What's your technique for capturing the images? I don't want to add any unless they're consistent with your great looking images. --[[User:Admin|MintYogi (Admin)]] ([[User talk:Admin|talk]]) 09:58, 1 February 2013 (MST)

::: I'm capturing the images by taking screenshots and then just transferring them over. Once transferred over, I use Pixlr or Photoshop (depending where I am at) to crop them to size. For the icons (items/materials/tools/etc. as they appear in your inventory) I have been making them 75x75 and then in the infoboxes they size down to 40px. The blocks as they appear in the actual world, I have been making 160x160. Not sure what size I will make stuff like Fruit,Animals,or other stuff. I am sure I will have to play around with it to see what size is the best for the wiki. I have a bunch of images I need to upload, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I was trying to get a few of the templates started. Anyways, here are the step by step directions if anybody wants to grab images. I added a section below on the exact step by step directions. - [[User:Cdrras|Cdrras]] ([[User talk:Cdrras|talk]]) 10:39, 1 February 2013 (MST)
==Taking Screenshot Images==
:::#Take screenshot of image you want to capture (zoom in if needed)
:::#Open up Pixlr or Photoshop or your favorite image editor (I don't recommend Paint...although Paint.Net may be fine)
:::# Start a new project and set the workspace to either 75x75, 160x160, or whatever the desired final size should be
:::# Open the screenshot
:::# Crop the desired item. It doesn't have to be close.
:::# Copy and Paste the cropped item over into your new project workspace you created
:::# Use the "Move Tool" to pan the image and align it into place.
:::# Save Image.
:::# Upload
:::# Rinse and Repeat
