[edit] Screenshots

Please upload screenshots in PNG format, in the native resolution of the software. Not JPG, not resized. A JPG is a lossy image format, that sacrifices image fidelity for size. This becomes very noticeable in software screenshots, which contain text and regular shapes. The compression artefacts are not acceptable. The image should be saved in PNG directly from the bitmap capture, JPG or other lossy formats must never come in between. Also, resizing a screenshot makes it lost clarity and become blurry, thats also not acceptable. So, please do not resize a screenshot before uploading. JPG images or resized images will never be preferred over high quality PNG screenshots, even if the latter might not be of the latest version.

Also, images should not be taken off the web if possible. And it is preferred that they are shown without any customization and the screen that is most visible (that includes not including the Help/About window). Thanks. And for changes that might face resistance, please engage in discussion and not in revert warring. --soum talk 19:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My Response

I made that myself as i am running Server 2008 now and i thought people would like to see evidence that the version number is the newest one and im not making it up. i will reupload in .png i cant see the problem with it and i dont know what the fair rational is disputed means. as other people have pics of the same thing. also i cant see whats wrong with my windows 3.1 either. please tell me why they are disputed then i will think about it. thank you

[edit] IE7/Server 2008 image

I deleted it because it was orphanned, i.e., not used in any articles. The image is a copyrighted image, and as such used under fair use rules. Such an image will be kept only if it is used in at least one article, otherwise it will be deleted. I deleted it for this reason, not because

I was offline for a few days, so am not aware of any current disputes. If the image is the subject of a dispute, I suggest you resolve it first through talks, and not revert warring. Once it is settled, you can either reupload the picture. Or let me know, and I will undelete the image. All the best.

As for your image/fair use question above, I am not aware of the Windows 3.1 image. As for the IE7/Aero/Server 2008 one, a screenshot is not needed to demonstrate a minor version change. Since the image is barely different from the Vista version, there is no need to replace in the IE7 article. Also, in the Server 2008 article, there is no need to demonstrate Aero. It could be done in the Windows Aero, however, visually it is the same as Windows Vista. So, it becomes redundant. Thats why the image is being opposed.

As for fair use rationales, it should explain why the image is needed and is irreplaceable. See WP:FUR for how to write good rationales. As I already said, people will ask the question about the necessity of this when the Vista version is already there. This has to be explained properly - why a screenshot is needed and why just saying aero is supported on Server 2k8 is not enough. We use screenshots to demonstrate features. The IE7 and Aero screenshots from Vista perfectly shows both Aero and IE7. The Server 2K8 shot adds nothing. You can, if you wish to demonstrate something from Server 2K8, take the screenshot of something unique. Such as the AD management snap-in. You can turn Aero on. That will be server both the purposes. --soum talk 02:07, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
