	~~==Guidelines==~~
	~~===Screenshots===~~
	Screenshots should be posted as such and not altered in any way. Therefore, cropped images and additions meant to indicate a particular part of the image (such as red circles or arrows) are not allowed. Close-up views can, however, constitute an exception in some rare cases.

	~~==Quality requirements==~~
	~~===Screenshots from ''[[Rayman 1\|Rayman]]''===~~
	Screenshots from [[Rayman 1\|the original game]] have to be resized to 50% using a nearest-neighbour algorithm. Please read the following topic for more information: '''[http://www.raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=4824 How to include ''Rayman'' images to RayWiki]'''.

	~~The final size should be 316×200 for the PC version and mostly 320×240 for the PlayStation version. PNG is the preferred format, GIF can be used as well but JPEG is not suitable for neat sprites.~~

	~~===Screenshots from 3D games===~~
	~~Screenshots from 3D games are to be saved as JPEGs with a quality factor of 90% or lower if the original quality of the file is poor (70% is used for pictures of a TV screen taken with a camera).~~

	~~===Screenshots from UbiArt games===~~
	Screenshots from [[UbiArt Framework\|UbiArt]] games can be taken from the PC version using the screenshot hotkey in Steam as it automatically saves them as JPGs. Ideally the final size should be 1920×1080. If you have a laptop and its resolution cannot go up to 1920×1080, then one option would be to connect it to a 1080p (not 1080i) television with a HDMI cable, and it can then be used as a monitor and the resolution set up in-game.

	~~===Screenshots from ''[[Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix]]''===~~
	~~Screenshots from ''[[Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix]]'' must be at least HD (1,920 × 1,080 pixels).~~

	~~===Artworks===~~
	~~Artworks must be uploaded to the wiki in their original version, without any modifications, including file conversion or compression.~~

	~~==High pixel density devices==~~

	~~All images from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(computer_graphics) sprite]-based games must use the <code>sprite</code> class:~~

	~~<pre>[[File:Image from Rayman 1.png\|center\|320px\|class=sprite\|Caption]]</pre>~~

	This special class allows such images to appear neat and close to the original rendering on devices using several physical pixels per virtual pixel. Without it, a smooth resizing algorithm would be used, and those images would look blurry.

	This only applies to sprite-based games, such as [[Rayman 1\|the original ''Rayman'']], games based on it and other 2D handheld games (think pixel art), not texture-based games (all 3D games) or games containing real drawings ([[UbiArt]] series). If you're unsure whether a game qualifies, don't hesitate to ask and an admin will gladly clarify.
