We have decided to improve terrain forum. Many have had this idea to add images to visual effect list. It's quite some works for 1 person, so Rantent got this idea.
If you don't know what "Visual Effects List" is, check this pinned thread.
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=15368
Everyone is free to help us in this situation and gain quite some minerals. I will pay you 30 minerals for each image you submit to me. But the images will have to be in certain format. You can submit 20 images and get whole 600 minerals!
Now about the format. All images must be in either .png or .jpg format. If you choose to use .jpg format, the image must be in best possible quality!
The effects must be from ingame screenshots. Please don't post full screenshots, we need only the effect. You must cut out the effect with max of 30px 'off topic' content around it.
Before we'll add them, each image will get a 1px red border, just for look. You don't have to add it, I'll do it myself. However if you'll add it, you will receive additional 5 minerals per image.
The image must of course meet the effect. Also don't forget to tell me what effect it is for. The image must have the best version of the effect if it's a death or something of the kind. You can also submit multiple images for one effect and show different stages of it, you will get minerals for each of them.
You can also post animated effects in .gif format. You will get 25 minerals for each frame but they must have 1px red border though. This is for people not lazy to work with image editors.
Post the images here or PM them to me. Let's put some effort into today to make a better tomorrow.

Aye, just a desperate try to gain minerals! Syphon failed!
ADDITION:
BTW, I think the pictures have to be bigger, so we actually can see what is happening on the pictures, Syphon failed on both the size and the content!

What about taking them into a not-as-messy-as-the-first-picture situation, that'd bring more interest into them!

Very good, exactly what I was looking for. I'm not sure are we(DEAD, Rantent, Syphon) doing this together but I'll pay you anyway as you showed a good example.
35 x 4 = 140 minerals.

Please follow the guide, 1px red border and the effect must have the best variant of it or multiple.
Also you must post what effect is it for. (from the list)

I've been meaning to do that for ages. I just couldn't get over having to make screenshots for each and every one. Glad someone's up to the task, though.

Time to break out WinMPQ and RetroGRP for some free minerals. This will be easy. Hopefully laziness won't get in the way.

RotroGRP. Yeah, that was what it was called. I knew you could simply a program to view the unit graphics (except for the cloaked or composit stuff), but forgot the program.

You can only view simple effects like units and exploders with it. For mixed stuff you'll still need to screenshot though.

Wow Jamal. Nice work.
Now come on people, I know from seeing a few avatars there's a few animated gifs floating around somewhere. A lot of these effects you can't judge by without seeing it in motion (the kakaru death, dark archon, halluc puffs, etc.

Jamal, please add the effect names to them, it's required. 
Also updates for animations. You get 25 for each frame, but you must add the border. You can get 100 minerals with just one picture now.

Hmm Jamal, something is wrong with the borders, they are not exactly red, maybe something with the jpg format quality. Maybe try png? 
Goose, does your hands shake that bad?
No really guys if you can't seem to get the borders right don't add them, I'll do it. It's only 5 extra mins and it takes a lot more time to remove gooses bad borders and add new ones.
Anyway, goose remove the bad borders.
Ok paycheck for Jamal:
7 images, 6 good one. Lurker death has better effect earlier. Bad borders/bad format.
6x30=180 minerals
Thank you.
