Editing Item Images For Guide

This guide will teach you how to edit images for the pages in the guide. For Example: You may want to put this image into the guide:
 * [[File:Vampire_Fangs.png]]

But you don't know how to get it down to this size and out of the game. This guide will teach you how.

==First: The Program == The program I use to crop these images is GIMP 2.6. If you do not have this program it is free for download on the GIMP website for PC and MAC. I believe there are other ways to get the image so if you know one feel free to post it here. Download GIMP here. Paint is also good, I recommend it for beginners.
 * *Note on a MAC computer you will use X11 to open GIMP

Second: The Process

 * Before you even open GIMP you must first get the image off of Puppet Guardian. Personally, I take screenshots. Zoom up for Windows by pressing Ctrl - = ( equal sign). For Macs, I think it's Command - = (equal sign). I zoom about 4 times for a good clear image


 * For macs, all you need to do is press: Command - Shift - 3. The image will appear on your desktop as "Picture 1".
 * For PC's, press the small "PrtSc" key on your keyboard. It can be usually found on the top right of the pad. Next, open GIMP, or what I use is Microsoft Paint, it comes with Windows. I find Paint to be much easier than GIMP, and takes much less runtime memory. Next, press: Control + V, and you should see the screenshot pop out. Cool, huh?


 * Macs after step 1: Open the image in your picture editor (File > Open > "Your Filename")


 * When you open the image you will first notice that you do not see the screen as big as you do in puppet guardian. So you need to zoom.


 * [[File:Zoom_2_in_GIMP.png]]

Click on this tool and click on the image, make sure you are zoomed in at 100%.


 * Next, you are going to use the magic wand tool so you can crop the image down to size.


 * [[File:Magic_Wand_in_GIMP.png]]

You will need to select the white area between where the item's color begins and where the entire card ends:


 * [[File:Magic_Wand_Action.png]]


 * Once you have selected the area in between, you must crop the image (Image > Crop to Selection). This should make you see only the single item.

Third: Upload
Congratulations! You have edited your image to be in the guide. Make sure you save (File > Save) and upload it to the correct page. I hope this guide helps! See Editing Notes for help with editing guides
