Picture Taking Help?
Theraven:
well, I learned the thing about smart layers when I had photoshop classes last year) I took one year with digital photography). Also the thing about JPG versus PNG. And a lot of other things. I've worked with photoshop for over four years now, i think. Had a little photoshop when I had art classes at school a few years ago too - but we didn't learn much there, to be honest. Mostly I just mess around a little in photoshop, and suddenly find new things to do :)
another thing: I use the brightness/contrast layer to brighten up and get a tiny bit sharper colors in the pics (don't use too much, because you'll get weird glowing effects on the pictures with too much contrast). Keep in mind that I use the CS3 version of this function - and it's a LOT better than the earlier versions (according to the teacher I had, anyway). I'll see if I can test this too...
EDIT: and my teacher was right.
the picture in the middle is the first picture above. The one to the left is 100% contrast with CS3, the right side one is 100% contrast with the legacy option in CS3 (which is the same as use of contrast with earlier PS versions - I did test with Photoshop CS too, and it gave me the same result. I've got no clue which options CS2 or any other picture editing programme has).
and one essential tip for any editing at all in photoshop: use layers where you can. It does make the files somewhat bigger - but if you do a mistake, it's so much easier to correct than if you use the editing that goes straight on the picture. I've got a bunch of other tips too - but I usually find it easier to show them than to tell about them. There are also several photoshop/picture editing tutorials all over the net too.
But don't be afraid to ask me about anything. I'm not an expert in photoshop (definitely not), but I know most of the essential things, at least when it comes to picture editing.
(just don't overload my PM box with help questions... :D)

Hi, A couple of things you can do is to use Gunmod's camera hack (from MTS2), which allows you to zoom in closer. Another would be to use is a 3rd party program (like FRAPS, very easy to use) for taking the game shots; it gives you larger, clearer shots than the in-game option.

thanks a lot! =]
