File talk:Aureate Staff dye chart.jpg

On GuildWiki, people are saying this is a bad dye chart because it's so poorly lit (and also because the diagonal images are larger than ideal to simply show the weapon.) I don't disagree, but I've never found a way to take dye preview pictures showing the entire weapon skin on long items like staffs without turning them at an angle. So I'll ask for help here, too. Can anyone offer me advice on

• enlarging the dye preview window wide enough to take horizontal shots of an entire staff,
• increasing the ambient light in the dye preview window to better see the weapon,
• disabling the way the background and ambient light also changes with the color so the background is a fixed reference?

If you know how to do any of these please do share. I'm all for more useful weapon and dye pictures! Thanks --LicensedLuny 01:03, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
