Hey, the Energon screen caps you uploaded are stretched horizontally. Can you please correct the aspect ratio? --abates 18:09, 29 April 2010 (EDT)

• The caps I got were in widescreen format; I've cropped them to a more sensible size. Hope that works. Fortress Minimus 08:04, 30 April 2010 (EDT)

Awesome, thanks! --abates 08:06, 30 April 2010 (EDT)

Is it just me or are these screencaps incredibly tiny? --FFN 15:22, 1 May 2010 (EDT)

They look fine to me... Fortress Minimus 15:24, 1 May 2010 (EDT)

Perhaps you don't realize, but you don't need to actually make the screencap the size it needs to be in order to appear on the article page. You can make it big, and then use "thumb" (not "frame", the way you are) to shrink it down to size on the article. - Chris McFeely 16:54, 1 May 2010 (EDT)

I actually did not realise that. Thanks for the tip!

And, I have to say, you guys are all being really helpful and friendly. Thanks a lot -- Fortress Minimus 17:08, 2 May 2010 (EDT)

Happy to help! Gotta ask, though - what program are you using to make these Energon caps? Because they're still coming out stretched - compare your upload with the new version I've just replaced it with. Your caps aren't even full-screen sized - they're stretched horizontally, and yet they're still taller than they are wide. - Chris McFeely 17:24, 3 May 2010 (EDT)

Because I'm a filthy cheapskate, I watch the episodes on YouTube and take the caps using the PrtScr button, then I crop them into squares using GIMP. I would like to improve; do you use a particular program, or it just that you got that shot from a DVD? --Fortress Minimus 17:34, 3 May 2010 (EDT)

That's from a DVD, but don't worry, I'm a cheapskate when it comes to Energon as well, I just borrowed them from a friend. ;) These YouTube caps definitely need to have their aspect ratio changed, though, which you can do with most image-editing programs. I use Photoshop personally. - Chris McFeely 18:25, 3 May 2010 (EDT)

OK, I've got my resize fu down, but I figured that to be on the safe side I'd run my latest batch by you before uploading. If you have a minute, could you have a look at these: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]? Much obliged. --Fortress Minimus 18:11, 4 May 2010 (EDT)

Now you're cooking, sir! - Chris McFeely 18:45, 4 May 2010 (EDT)

Excellent! I'll be sure to do it right from now on. And once again, thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it. --Fortress Minimus 08:04, 5 May 2010 (EDT)

Also, don't forget a period at the end of the description's sentence. --Lonegamer78 14:05, 5 May 2010 (EDT)

after the last episode, are you going to go back and add screencaps for episodes 13 - 17? 13 and 14 have no pictures at all, 15/16/17 have no title cards

Rest assured, I fully intend to add caps to every Energon episode unless someone beats me to it. -Fortress Minimus 11:28, 6 June 2010 (EDT)

Thank you

Oh lord yes. --ItsWalky 13:56, 25 August 2010 (EDT)

Uh, you're welcome. What did I do? --Fortress Minimus 09:40, 26 August 2010 (EDT)

Filling out the fiction sections for the Armada kids, one would assume. Particularly since Walky's the one who added images to them once you were done. - Cattleprod 16:08, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
