  • Limits: 3 screenshots per post. If you have more than 3 then make more posts, use the spoiler balise or thumbnails.
  • Spamming: No more than 3 consecutive posts of the same game. Link to an album of your collection.
  • Naming: Always include the name of the game with the screenshots. Not everyone is a game encyclopedia.
  • Compression: If it's visible you will be called out. Follow the JPEG guide below.
  • Emulators: Emulator screens are fine. However, you should list the emulator used.
  • Stretching: Do not post stretched screenshots. Do not take 2.35 screens unless you know what you are doing.
  • Spoilers: Please do not post major plot points from games released in the last 2 months.
  • Thinking: Think before you post. Is the screenshot really worth posting? Does anyone care about some ugly texture you found? No.
  • Feelings: Did someone hurt your feelings? PM a mod. Take your drama elsewhere.

  • Custom Resolutions: If you have an Nvidia or an AMD card, create a couple custom resolutions over 1080p.
  • Steam: You can tell Steam to also save lossless screens when hitting the button and choose and output folder.
  • FastStone: It's free and quite easy. You can resize a whole folder with different options and convert to .png/.jpeg.
  • Irfanview/Photoshop: Use one of these to convert to .png from .bmp, crop out black bars or resize pictures.
  • Zoner PS: Another Photoshop alternative, recommended by Angelus Errare.
  • Alo81's JPEG Guide: Everything you need to know about saving as a JPEG.
  • HDR+WCG Image Viewer: To manipulate HDR shots (.jxr). Easily convert your screenshot into .png without loss.
  • Imgur: The most used in this tread, almost no loss of quality during the upload, simple to use.
  • Flickr: Two terabytes of storage and great for screenshot library management.
  • imgbox: Free unlimited image storage with almost no loss in quality.

  • Alo81's JPEG Guide: Everything you need to know about saving as a JPEG without getting shanked.
  • MrRoderick's Screenshot Compendium: A great thread filled with advice on advanced techniques for screenshotting specific games.
  • Nvidia Inspector: This guide covers how to force AA externally and the basics of using the program.
  • Radeon Pro: Pretty self explanatory, follows a lot of the basics from Nvidia Inspector.
  • SGSSAA: This guide on Guru3D covers how to implement Sparse Grid Super Sampling.
  • HBAO+ Compatibility guide: HBAO+ Flags to be used with NvidiaInspector to improve or add ambiant occlusion on many games.

No that game is gorgeous on PC. The real travesty is the expedition 33 voters, I love that game but it shouldn't have votes for this category. Doom TDA and AC Shadows win with Doom TDA beating AC Shadows due to Path Tracing.
Playing AC Shadows on PC before Yotei on PS5 made Yotei look pretty mid. I like Yotei more though.
 
Damn ME2 remaster looks great
It really does, but these images were selected haha. The game can look really nice but some things show their age like the animations and some of the JPEG landscapes. But the art is still top notch

I wish the legendary edition had good anti aliasing man
Oh me too, I tried to smooth things with Reshade but it's fart from perfect. Super sampling is not a possibility as it's bugged with my resolution and messing with the Nvidia app didn't really help either :(

Anyway more Mass Effect (1 this time) - LE

Super sampling works. You have to set the resolution you want the game to run as your desktop resolution in nvidia control panel. For example, select 8k as your resolution in NCP and start the game. The game will run at that resolution automatically. That being said, even at 8k the game still has aliasing lol but it's better

Yep I saw that when searching for a better AA solution but with an ultrawide res it's bugged, especially in ME 2. And since I use Flawless Widescreen the HUD is all over the place (not talking about that small bug induced by FW).
So I just play the game like that.
