Re: Images
Hi! Well, the images are pretty high-res to start with. I download the episodes on torrent through animetake. All the episodes I download have 720p resolution. I edit them sometimes in GIMP to make them look a bit better. Asasyn32 usually has slightly better images than I do. I think he does them in Photoshop.  08:09, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Sure, no problem. Same to you.  08:16, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

It looks like Rauleli already answered your question while I was offline. If you already have subbed episodes downloaded, you can remove them if you use the VLC Media Player. Just right click while the episode is playing, hover over the "Video" option, hover over the "Subtitles Track" option then press "Disable". This removes the subs and then if you want to take a screenshot, press the "Snapshot" button on the "Video" options. If you want accuracy, you can pause the video first before taking a screenshot. I really download my episodes subbed because I read the dialogues to make sure the articles I make for the Fight Summary Guild are both manga-accurate and anime-accurate.  01:05, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Whoops, I misread. Well, either way, you can use VLC or the KMPlayer Rauleli suggested. The subs are also removable in animetake.com so if you already downloaded an episode from that site, you can use either VLC or KMPlayer.  01:08, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

It depends on which player you're using.

On VLC Media Player - Right click while the episode is playing > Video > Snapshot

KMPlayer - See under the "Capture" option and select. I'm not too sure about KMPlayer since I use VLC. I suppose you could just check this out: http://gilawistle.typepad.com/blog/2011/04/capturing-movie-screenshots-with-kmplayer.html

If you're using some other player, I'd recommend you switch to either of those two.  06:28, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Images
Hello. I'm Rauleli, Chairman of the Policy & Standards Council, and I read in the Fight Summary Talk Page that you wanted help with pictures. Well, I wanted to tell you that I can get pictures without subs, so if you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask. 23:22, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

animebuzz.com and don't worry it would be no bother. 23:33, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Ok 23:47, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

They come with removable subs by KMPlayer. 00:35, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Wait, I didn't explain myself correctly. I use the KMPlayer to remove them from .mkv files 00:38, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

No probs 01:03, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Guild job
I noticed an error with the Guild job board. I mistook the "Gray Fullbuster vs. Racer" one as a separate battle with the one I made, which is "Gray Fullbuster, Lyon Bastia & Sherry Blendi vs. Racer". I edited the job board. Unfortunately, I have to go offline now and I won't be back till Friday. So instead of making a whole new "Gray Fullbuster vs. Racer" page, can I count on you to just edit Gray Fullbuster, Lyon Bastia & Sherry Blendi vs. Racer so that it includes the details that were left out in my page? The one I made only had details from where Lyon and Sherry joined. The ones befre that were left out. If you can't, then just take your name off the board and I'll do it myself on Friday. If you could though, that would be great help. Thank you!  12:44, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Definitely. I still won't be able to resume normal activity until tomorrow, so I really appreciate your help.  11:29, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Question:
Hi! I can't believe you have 322 articles edited already. I would like to ask a question how did you customize your signature? Thanks.. --Ximon Vargas 01:15, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Ok thanks-- XV  (talk ) 06:46, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Episodes
Normally, it takes about 2 to 3 hours for me to finish downloading an episode. Usually lags are caused by the connection or maybe there's a lot of stuff clogged in your computer. Oh, I just wanted to inform you that linking the fight summary in a character's Major Battles section is done after completing the fight summary.  00:51, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Fight Summaries
Hi. In case you didn't notice, Mr. Guild Master reminded us to take only one or two jobs at a time on the Fights section of the Fight Summary Guild.  06:14, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, whoops. Okay, I see. Sorry for jumping on you like that. I got surprised when I suddenly ran out of jobs. I'll just go update it again.  06:21, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Guild
Thanks for the heads-up. I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't point it out. Anyway, I also answered your question in the Guild talk page.  00:02, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Duplicates
Hi there. Make sure you check for duplicates before uploading images. The wikia doesn't allow having duplicate images. Two of the images you uploaded for the Lucy Ashley vs. Frog Monster fight summary already exist on Lucy Ashley's page so I had to replace those you uploaded with the ones already existing.

EDIT: I noticed one of them isn't actually exactly the same in posing, but it's the same Technique 12 - The Back Crack Bridge  00:42, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Images
I use GIMP: From the Colors > Levels > Click "Auto". I usually sharpen it a bit, too. Filters > Enhance > Unsharp Mask, then I set the first to options to how sharp I want the image to look. Most images are made better that way. Although there are some that look weird when auto-leveled, so I try to leave those as is.  01:56, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

The color's pretty good. The sharpness is the problem. It's too sharp. The Radius I use is 3.0 and the Amount I use is about .30-.35  03:10, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Much better. That should be fine.  03:36, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Ichiya vs. Naked Mummy
Sorry for the late reply. I won't be able to resume editing for a while and at the current moment I'm editing on my iPod. If there is not enough info on Ichiya's fight then you can just delete it. Again, sorry for the delay.

Re: Fight Job
I'd say up to when Gray threw Lucy to Natsu.  13:15, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Categories
Yeah, how you have been doing it is great. Also, try to put character images into their respective image gallery. 21:51, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, ALL images on the wiki can be catalogued if you want. Those images in the Image Gallery talk page were put there by me. You can just keep cataloguing new images as they come, or just go around the wiki cataloguing any image you find, or if you'd like me to, I can put more images in the image gallery talk page. 22:03, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Sure, but it's going to have to wait until tomorrow, since I'm about to leave for the movies and I'll comeback in like 4 hours. I might have some time to so it when i comeback, but if the new episode is already downloadable I won't be able to. 22:12, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

There you go, I put any I could find. I'll put more later on. 02:44, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Recent Images
Hi. I don't know if you've noticed, but for some reason there are black borders on the left and right sides of the screencaps on the recent episodes of Fairy Tail. Asasyn32 removed the border on some while I did it for the others. Just take note to remove them by cropping next time.  08:03, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

That's okay. Oh, and yes, I have. I just came home from the cinemas after watching it.  08:08, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, they are.  09:18, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Re:GIFs
Thanks. I make them myself actually and I don't know what you mean by where. I'll go upload the fights and it is already 6:30pm where I am. 22:25, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

They go through a lot of programs actually. It takes me about half an hour to make a short one. The one for Iced Shell took me 2 days since it was really long and I had to delete some parts for the final product. 22:38, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Hehehe, Thanks. I didn't think anyone had noticed it, you should apply for a spot in the council since, well, there are 3 spot vacant. lol.
