Image categorisation
When uploading images, please make sure to categorise them using the correct image categories and the guide-specific category, i.e.  Category:Half-Life: Blue Shift images. The image policy is viewable here, and contains all the information you'll need to categorise future uploads. -- najzere T 17:09, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Hopefully you get this, as quite obviously I'm new to this. I noticed you modified the HLbs_alien_grunt pic that I uploaded, and changed it to .png. I have numerous other pictures for the same article so I can copy the categories (I assume that will be ok) but I'd like to try and get it right first time too :p Which software did you use to modify the picture?

 * Yes, you can just copy the categories from Image:HLBS alien grunt.png and use them in the edit summary when you upload. Normally I wouldn't have bothered to change someone's pictures, but I thought the page would look nicer without the aqua background on the image. Normally I would have just uploaded a new version over the same file, but JPEG doesn't support transparency, so it had to be changed PNG format. The program I used is GIMP, a free, open-source image editor. If you have all the files hosted somewhere, e.g. imageshack or something, I'd be happy to remove the background for you. Otherwise, GIMP, PhotoShop, pixlr.com, etc. (pretty much anything but MSPaint) can all do the job for you. Thanks for working on the Blue Shift guide and keep up the good work! Let me know if you need anything else. :) — najzere T 21:05, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * By the way, if you want to drop messages to specific people, make sure you put the messages on that person's talk page rather than your own =P --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 20:55, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, great job on the new pics! Which program did you end up going with? There are a few GIMP users on the wiki, so if you're using it and need any help with the program itself, just give me a shout. :) Cheers, — najzere T 21:19, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It is indeed GIMP that i'm using - and it is a very nice bit of kit, there seems to be enough guides on the GIMP site along with other extra guides around the net for what i need... but i'll bear your offer in mind. With a bit more time Ill try and fill in the gaps ;) - cheers guys - (Trevman 16:04, 15 October 2009 (UTC))
