I know that sharpening the images adds a more crisper look, but what else do you use? What tools/filters? Print Scrn -> Screenshot folder -> Photoshop -> Auto Contrast -> Blur or Sharpen -> Save -> Imageready -> resize -> photoshop -> save as That's usually what i do, then i just upload both pics (1024x768 and 640x480) and show them.

I know that sharpening the images adds a more crisper look, but what else do you use? What tools/filters? Umm can i ask who exactly are you asking this specific qestion? Just something in general - I see that most pictures in this thread are 'enhanced' in several ways - not just sharpened. Do you modify the colouring, if so why and in which way, etc. What about special filters? Any recommendations (like 'for night shots I prefer to use...', etc.) are welcome - if they are more general (i.e. also applicable for non-Photoshop users) that's just fine. Just some hint's for us uninitiated! I use The Gimp for image editing, and I've used sharpening together with slightly modified colors for great effects, but in comparison to what i see here that seems pale. Edit: a kind of effects collection would be great - a list of possible effects and how to achieve them in general terms. Or just links to good sites/tutorials about that topic.

Harnu 0 Posted March 27, 2004 Instead of auto-contrast I use curves in photoshop to get it just how I like it. Then resize in there. I have 6.0, whats so different in 7? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acecombat 0 Posted March 27, 2004 I have PS 7.0 its much better at resizing. Btw joltan i use auto-contrast usually and simply sharpen the pic once and then i just crop/resize the pic as fit to bring file size to forum rules. Well thats all i do with my usualy normal pics , except for those 'some' of those editted ones like planes one with wind filter and others added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GI_Rutger 0 Posted March 27, 2004 Maybe it's a stupid question, but when i'm taking screens in ofp, its 2mb. How can I make it under 100kb without getting small pictures (as the one above)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SFG 1 Posted March 27, 2004 Use jpg format, and resize if its still too big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. FrostBite 0 Posted March 27, 2004 jpeg compression in programs like Photoshop works very well with little loss of quality (compared to using paint ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
