Those are.... uh.... fairly lossy jpegs there.....
Wait, why the fuck at they JPGs
EDIT: Ooooh, fucking FastStone.
Don't hate on JPEGs, do it right and they look near perfect at about 1/2 the file size.
Don't hate the format, hate the compressor.
Well you keep on using it then.![]()
I'm just trying to defuse the unwarranted hate. Poor ol JPEG gets a bum rap because websites like to take a steamer all over their quality.

More GTA 4 downsampled from 4K with simple ENB. Does it look like there's SMAA in these shots? I had sweetfx on but I'm still seeing jaggies.
I don't trust JPGs from photoshop.
As many have discovered, 4K in GTA4 (as well as a few other games) isn't enough to remove all aliasing. SMAA is also pretty meh at 1x, so it won't be your savior. There are a few ways to grab screens at resolutions higher than 4K though.
Hmm? Why?
Down from 1800p
Nice to see some more genuine gameplay shots for once =)
Hey my RE: Revelations shots were genuine but they had shitty textures that made them repulsive apparently
2 real. 2 genuine.

First time trying this 3:4 ratio...be gentle. =)

I would love more variety for sure. I don't have any fun taking regular gameplay shots with HUD and all, but I do like to see them for general impressions. Though when it comes to getting a genuine gameplay experience, I much prefer videos. But it's also a lot harder to do good videos. I've tried the recording thing a few times and it usually ends up being terribleThey were and kudos for that - I liked them. Just browsing a few pages and you hit the same page up and page down of artsy-fartsy stuff ( Not saying I'm that much better, mind you ). Miss the good ole' days of more genuine shots and where you saw a lot of different people posting.

Of course that wasn't an attempt to put words into my mouth or try for some kind of character assassination as I never said I didn't like your screenshots. I merely heckled the producer's lack of dedication to their game ip what with all the shitty textures for a game repurposed for PC.
And no, there's nothing wrong with 'pure gameplay' shots. BUT, to me, the push for innovative shots is something that got me interested in this thread in the first place. If I want gameplay shots, there are so many other places to go, and yeah, I'd take a good video over a gameplay shot if I'm interested in gameplay in the first place. This is not to say that a gameplay shot can't be interesting, novel, or good, but most just aren't (to me). Frankly, most gameplay shots offer little that actual gameplay doesn't, and they get boring real fast.
But apparently so does all the artsy-fartsy stuff (which is - I must say - a very amicable way to paint your fellow thread users' pursuits, Sethos).
I guess I just want to say that I wouldn't mind gameplay shots, if they've got something to bring to the table, but by all means keep astounding me with well chosen angles, great shader work, novel approaches, and what have you. Don't go full-on mediocre and think resolution is everything.
All bitching aside, those are some alluring portraits, One3rd. Do more.
I like them all a lot.

You'd think more people would be posting, what with GAF being so large and all. Perhaps we just need some new games.
My love started to wither some months ago during a Skyrim episode. Posted some Skyrim shots I personally was fond of and got a lot of positive feedback when a little voice at the back of the room uttered "I don't see what's so special about those shots" - A voice from one of the very active people in this thread. Who kind of butthurt thing is that to say?
You're just misinterpreting a personal gripe of mine with Skyrim shots in general. But yeah, I was probably being a jackass. There wasn't anything wrong with your shots. They were good. They were clean. The ENB was solid. But it's like ANY time someone posts Skyrim in this thread. Or any thread. Anywhere on the internet. Everyone goes crazy and an explosion of "what mods how i do that" goes off.
You have just as much right to post Skyrim as I do my supersampled artsy fartsy shots. And I should probably keep my mouth shut when and strive to be a more positive person in general, but sometimes I need to gripe too. And sadly, that gripe was at the expense of you. I didn't know you were harboring ill feelings about that all this time.
I don't really want anyone to pay special attention to my shots at all. It's just a silly hobby. My most recent post regarding Skyrim may have come off wrong. My only point was that folks were commenting that 1440p shots of Skyrim would melt their GPUs, but not 8K shots of ANY game that's posted on pretty much EVERY page of this thread lately. Because it was SKYRIM.
And there. That is the last time I will ever rant or gripe about Skyrim. Or any screenshots.
In any case neoenigma, no hard feelings? Let's just get back to posting =)
Just running around my ship. ( Considering the price, I would have expected some light switches )

The most recent update broke the lighting in your ship. It should return in the next update (check older version videos to see how it should probably look).
Oh good. Was half-expecting IKEA lamps DLC.
Finally i have found a way for use SRWE in this game...disabling SFX! ^^
At least now there isnt no more jaggies and blur..simple clean.
