I've got two views.

A) When it comes to the game artwork, my view is normally "the game screens do use the tints and even though the gameplay portions don't these aren't captures of the 3d gameplay models, so we shouldn't be using the anime coloured versions of them".

B) Then I'm told we're using this game artwork in articles as depictions of anime characters, to which I think "Why the hell are we using game art to depict characters in the anime.". Then I see the explanation of why and sort of accept it and the rationale for using the anime coloured version of the game art.

That said, the idea of post-processing the images to change the colour balance, when it's a layer in the PDFs that's responsible for the tint, still sounds icky. So I have an alternate idea.

Wikia has pestered the wiki before, asking if they could do anything with their media partnerships. So I just poked them asking if they'd be able to get the original PSDs from the press kits for us.

Then we can take the PSDs, upload two versions of each image, one exported with the tint layer and another without the tint layer. And we can use the tinted versions on game articles (where the tint is supposed to be there) and the anime coloured versions in anime articles and where the game art is represented as an anime appearance.
