| - Welcome to a tutorial on how to convert images from .jpg to .png. On this page I'll take you through a step by step process of how to aid the Keyhole in its mission to end the reign of .jpg images! If you get to the end of this tutorial and still have questions, feel free to contact this tutorial's author FinalRest on her talk page. Let's begin by first congratulating you on your decision to help out around the Keyhole. Your assistance is greatly appreciated! If you are unaware of this project's origins, then let me give you a little history lesson. The decision to remove .jpgs was first suggested on the World Terminus page. As you can read in that discussion, it was soon decided that only a select group of editors would be continuing this project, as they would be able to achieve the best results. They set to work creating a page to list all the images that needed to be replaced and started hacking away at the list as best they could. However, after a while the project activity reduced drastically, owing primarily to the inactivity of the users working on it. So, it was decided that users outside of the original line up could begin working on it, switching the images that require no background removal. And here we are! The process of removing a .jpg can be a difficult and sometimes confusing process when you first begin, so the purpose of this tutorial is to encourage users like yourself to give the project a go, instead of being frightened away by the daunting work. Hopefully you'll eventually be able to memorise the necessary steps yourself and will be able to achieve great results! Let's get started, shall we? Notes 1.
* The image conversion project also involves the sub-jobs of renaming badly named images to appropriate titles, ensuring all images are categorised properly, and removing the backgrounds of .png images. This tutorial will not be explaining these jobs, and will instead focus on converting a .jpg image to a .png image. However, if you are interested in any of these side projects, please contact FinalRest and she'll help you get started. 2.
* This tutorial is available for users using both the monobook and oasis skin. If you are using the Oasis skin (the default skin of wikia) then please skip down to this section. __TOC__
