Hi Merri. I am a Windows player but I also have the game on my iPad so that is how I knew some of this stuff before Windows players. The one thing I have noticed is the images are much clearer and easier to modify when I have one in my game inventory. I agree, it would be much easier to capture some things as I'm playing the game but for the catch up purposes of right now, I'm just working with what I've got available. By the time we have another update, it shouldn't be as hectic. I don't know if we are using the same source files. This is my method:  I take a screen shot, click on the image in my downloads, crop 8 individual items (5 collection items, combining elements, the item created by combining, and the final is of the entire collection), then rename them all so when I upload them, they have an individual name. Then I open the 6 individual items that need to have the background removed into Pixlr Editor and start cleaning them up. Then upload them to the wiki.

I have to admit, you lost me about paragraph 3. I don't have a clue what the next step to incorporate all this stuff together is. I'm willing to learn but just figured I'd fill in the blanks and someone that's more tech saavy than me would do with it what needs be. If it's images that y'all need....I'm your girl! After I get all the images in, just tell me what's next and I will do it (with a lot of hand holding). I must admit, I've wondered if I should be including any links or other stuff when I add the images to the tables. I use the source editor and have looked back on some completed collection pages and didn't see anything like that. That's not to say certain collections do need to be linked, like if a particular collection is part of an artefact. I hope if that's the case for some collections, AAA or MD or someone who knows will let me know to save them the aggravation of having to go in and fix it. Time will make everything clearer. I learn from my mistakes unlike my son. Sorry....didn't mean for it to become personal but I'm aging way too fast because of him.

Ok, I'm off to finish up the last of these collections. I will have all the images ready and into the pages as quickly as possible. I think this is going very well considering we have to communicate through our threads. It takes me forever to write. Kind of like, why would I text someone when I can call them and say what I need to say in a micro second of the time it takes me to write it.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I hope no one is cussing at me and I think I'm doing a satisfactory job. I will read through your message again (about three times) and see if I can understand things better. Fair Use Rationale?????? I'll look it up. LAM=laughing at myself
