== Process ==
;Armor
# Find a good location.
# Equip the armor set.
#* Apply the armor set to all six pieces of armor.
#* Make sure the helm, shoulders and gloves are displayed.
#* Dye each piece such that each slot uses a different colour. Where possible, try not to make the armor look unattractive and avoid using entirely dark dyes.
# Take the two [[Help:Uploading images|screenshot]]s (front and back) during daytime conditions.
# Upload a jpg under the correct name to the wiki. Use {{tl|armor gallery image}}.

;Outfits
# Find a good location.
# Equip the outfit.
#* Either keep the default dyes or choose appropriate colors. Where possible, try not to make the outfit look unattractive and avoid using entirely dark dyes or too similar colors.
#* Make sure the helm of your armor is displayed (this affects the outfit helm).
# Take the two screenshots (front and back) during daytime conditions.
# Upload a jpg under the correct name to the wiki. Use {{tl|armor gallery image}}.

=== Good locations ===
The aim with screenshots is to have a neutral and non-distracting background, with the light falling on the front of the character. Only take screenshots during the [[day and night|day]].
* [[Lion's Arch]] - east of the Diverse Ledges Waypoint {{map link|1069}}. Sea views.
* [[Edge of the Mists]] - bright maps with no day-night cycle. Pick one of the ledges by the initial waypoints.
* [[Hall of Monuments]] - not affected by day-night cycle (visually at least), good if you render the images afterwards.

=== Tips ===
* A larger image can be taken with either the monitor set to portrait mode, or by using graphics card enhancements.
* Sometimes a better angle can be gained by having somebody else take the screenshot of you.

=== Quick and lazy options ===
Although ideally a screenshot will be taken per the above guidance, any image is better than no image. In this case, either the preview panel (accessed by right clicking on a piece of armor or an outfit that you have not unlocked), or the outfit section of the hero panel will suffice for a quick screenshot. Obviously these images will be far smaller than a proper image, and will display a bit of the user interface - the intention is always to replace these images at a later date.

== Tasks ==
* Upload screenshots for each new armor and outfit set after updates.
** ''Optional:'' Note down the dyes used in the image summary.

== List of armor sets and outfits ==
