Great images
Hi VV. Thank you very much for uploading all of the SM3DW images. The quality is excellent. I was curious how you are taking them? Just wondering what your method was. Thanks again.  Pro cyon  02:59, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I'm uploading them directly from the Wii U. To do so, hit the home button on the frame you want to screenshot, select the internet browser, and go to an image upload site (I use tinypic). There, you're able to select the gamepad or tv screenshot (I use the gamepad to keep filesize down a bit). After that, I download the screens to my PC, name and optionally edit them, and upload them here. The tricky part is capturing the right frame, as you can't just spam the home button and pausing the game would result in a screenshot of the pause menu.

 * Hi Vandar, since you are technically skilled, can you save the file to your PC, then export as a .png (e.g. using The GNU Image Manipulation Program; GIMP), then upload to tinypng.com to compress the file as small as possible? Then compare that to your jpg file sizes. We want to try and minimize the amount of disk space and bandwidth used so that we can handle more data and more traffic as the site scales. Thank you! -- 17:40, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
