* For general purposes screen shots are best taken with a physical [[aspect ratio]] suitable for Internet browsers. For example, [[Doom]] in 320x200 (or a similar 640x400) needs to stretch pixels by 20% to fill the screen, and thus any screen shots taken in that mode will appear flattened within standard desktop windows or screens. To address this, these shots from Doom can be resized with a graphics editing application (to 640x480 or 800x600, for example) or a port with resolutions treating ratios in the same way as desktop modes (such as 640x480, where the pixels are square in a 4:3 aspect ratio) can be used to take suitable shots.

* For general purposes screen shots should be taken with an aspect ratio suitable for Internet browsers. Doom's 320x200 (or a similar 640x400) will appear flat and stretched within standard desktop windows or screens. These shots can be resized (to 640x480 or 800x600, for example) or a port with resolutions aimed for desktop uses can be used to take the shots.
 
* Screen shots should be taken in software rendered mode, with settings resembling [[vanilla Doom]] as closely as possible (unless the screen shot is for showing off a port specifically or belongs to an add-on that requires the use of such a source port).

* '''You must add source and copyright information''' to the image description page for each image you upload. You can easily do the latter by choosing a licensing option from the drop-down menu on the upload page. If none of the existing tags is appropriate, create a new tag ([[Template:Name of the tag here]]), and add it manually by typing {{c|<nowiki>{{Name of the tag here}}</nowiki>}} somewhere in the description box.
