Forum:CT Archive/Images: Fan Modifications

Forums &gt; Consensus track &gt; 

As per Aayla Secura, just how far should the policy of "No fanon" in images extend? I propose several policies. Obviously, this will not contradict the previous consensus of infobox images are to be selected by whatever looks best and the simple policies of resizing, cropping, brightening/darkening remain in place. Also, as per Boba Fett, the image has to from an official source. This vote is for how far do we allow those official images to be modified so they don't look awkward in the article. This is all assumes that the changes made are done well and look like whatever elements have been changed, don't look like it's been changed from something else.

Any image can be cut out of it's image and placed on a neutral colored background

 * 1) Distracting (probably ruins the effect of my above vote) :) Wildyoda 23:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Fan-Created provided it's from an accurate source

 * 1) I think if there are any major problems, they'd be dealt with on a case-by-case basis anyway. A lot of times there is pretty much only one interpretation of the description of a symbol but no officially sanctioned image. For instance squadron logos. Wildyoda 23:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Just wondering Wildyoda 23:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Can somebody explain the color thing? Colors in what types of images? Are we talking about:
 * just de-saturating the image in photoshop for clarity and visibility?
 * making an abonormally colored lightsaber from a promotional image the color the person normally uses?
 * making Aayla Secura a Lethan Twi'lek?
