Doesn't save for web result in smaller file sizes?

That is true, but for whatever reason it seems to handle resizing differently.

Here's a 1440 shot downsampled to 720 (bicubic sharper) using the Save As... menu:

And here's the same shot, again using bicubic sharper, using the Save for Web menu:

The save for web file is about ~70KB smaller but looks blurrier for some reason.

 

[GhostRidah]

From what I can see it's a different method for doing the same thing.

Yeah that is what I thought, just making sure, thanks.

 

[jim2point0]

Why is it the same games all the time? Do ye guys not play any other games?

OT: I love this thread, just wish there were more variety than Skyrim, Mirrors Edge and Crysis all the time

Geez. I've been posting Dead Island of all games. Can't get much more random than that

Alt version ^^

There's been Dark Souls, Remember Me, BF, CoD, GTA, Dead Island, Borderlands, AC, Alice, Portal and even Halo screenshots on the last page alone.
So I don't really understand the complaint... :\

Some GTA... no cars or buildings

Decided to get the Imaginator mod and make my colors a bit more vibrant. I love it.

I'm playing through Remember Me now, and the combat is okay. It's taking me quite a lot to get used to it, even though it reminds me of batman. You can't just button mash but I find it hard to notice when someone's about to attack me so i can dodge cause I'm staring at the combo icons to see if i didn't fuck it up. Audio is fantastic, art design is fanfuckingtastic.

Which leads into this question, I know one of you knows:

How do I run Remember Me in borderless fullscreen? I can't seem to get the game to work with any relevant apps online? (and I'm recording the game so OBS doesn't really seem to work with exclusive fullscreen)
Also how do I force 16AF in this? It's UE3 so I should just be able to force it in the INI right?

I have absolutely no Idea. The resolution thing Durante is working on doesn't work with windowed so I never really looked into it. The combat is very different, though. Enemies don't take turns hitting you. Just remember you can cancel any attack by dodging, and you don't have to dodge in any direction.

Haven't seen too many Mirrors Edge or Crysis shots recently, as in the last few days...

Well, I know for a fact that most of us don't get paid for this. So when you can choose between a game that's got pre-existing tools to screenshot with and one that's going to fight back at you every step of the way, you're most likely going to choose the first. Like said earlier, there's a pretty wide selection of games being posted ATM, and if that's not enough, then I doubt anybody will object to you or anyone adding their own flavor to the pot.

I'd never actually beat Remember Me until just recently, and I decided I was going to get everything I could from that game. I just quit my job, and am helping out around the house, as well as getting ready for next semester and looking for a new job. Can't go spending on too much, so grinding in Warframe and screenshotting/beating other games is what I got.


In a world with PhilpGT, Rösti and TheVampire, how can you get bored?

Yarr. That's why when I went looking for a game to shoot, I figured I'd try Dead Island. When I first played it, I didn't even know what downsampling was. Nor would I have given half a fuck if there was a developer menu because I didn't care to cheat in games.

Now I can crank the resolution up and use that dev menu for it's one true purpose: screenshots. They aren't going to be the most amazing screenshots but it's something different for now.

I would be OK with that

Some people do that. Very few though Helps if you can create a journalism piece to go along with them.

I was going to post this shot earlier but there's a weird water glitch thing that happens and it was too hard to photoshop out of this one =(

 

[Blue Ninja]

Noenigma, your shots make me want to replay ACIV. So pretty.

 

[Gvaz]

Your shots make me want to get a better graphics card so i can finish ACR, then play 3, then play AC Liberation, then play AC4.

lol squirtguns on the boat.


EDIT:: What are the chances of say, a website where you, myself, and some other known screenshotters, can get together, and post about/discuss the various quirks of screenshotting. For example, screenshotting culture, methods, history, per-game analysys, strategies, isms, and maybe our opinions on the tech/art behind the games, as well as linking to our own galleries of screenshots? It would be sort of like the compendium, but with more info on each game and screenshotting as a whole. Just a thought. IF something like that were to be made, I'd be all in.

EDIT EDIT::: Just realized that's kind of like what the DET Flickr Group does...

I never finished Revelations. At the time I was catching up on Assassin's Creed so I powered through AC2 and then Brotherhood... but it started to feel like a bit more of the same. Then AC3 came along which was bloody terrible. So I didn't come close to finishing that. AC4 on the other hand... good game. Played it start to finish.

It kinda does... but very rarely do people say anything in the discussions. It's kind of a niche thing I suppose.

You should go back and do winter shots of AC3 even though you didn't like it. Do it for the thread.

[jim2point0]

Man have I got news for you.

Sorry. Just saw this. So is it like a "new engine" where they've really just taken the old one and added features on top and improved it? Or is it like... brand new built from the ground up?

Because often times, it's the former, regardless of what the devs actually say (Skyrim, AC4, etc etc). So basic mechanics code for movement, combat, camera, etc is exactly the same.

You should go back and do winter shots of AC3 even though you didn't like it. Do it for the thread.

I'll look into it.... but holy crap is it going to be difficult to plow through that beginning section. I hated it so much. In fact if someone could just upload a save file where you start in a snowy area, that'd be best

I had more motivation to work on the camera system (that better people even improved upon) for AC4 because I was enjoying that game a lot. And I thought the setting would make for better screenshots than what I saw in AC3 so far.

So pretty. I have this game installed again. I wanted to make that my project today for my day off but ended up getting a root canal instead! Yay....

Yes! Please take more take Dark Souls shots. I really want to see what you can come up with in regards to using the psuedo free cam. I have not been very creative with it so far. Sorry about that root canal tho!

I'm kinda working on getting images of skyrim that really look like they're from a movie camera. I have made efforts to get some of the 'anamorphic' look of many film lenses. As of now the CA is a bit much, and the noise was added in PS.

Needs a bit more grey, imo for a movie. Otherwise awesome shot.

Nice! How'd you take the first shot? Some hack/mod for a free camera?

 

[GavinUK86]

I would get that checked out if your piss is THAT colour.

It's alright looking for an ageing engine and considering it's been made one guy. The actual game is pretty intriguing too.

Only 1080P I'm afraid, is that frowned upon?

I need to get out of the low-res ghetto.

I put levels into attunement just so I could look take my own pretty fireball screenshots. Damn you darkdeus.

hey thanks Durante! Yea feel free to repost them anywhere. I wish there was a way to show From Software how good the game looks with your fix : ) Here's my full Dark Souls gallery as well:

Amazing pictures, and love your Flickr account as well.

Can you link me to the mod to free the camera movement?? Or is it something your wrote that you want to keep for yourself?

The Cheat Engine freecam seems to crash my game when I'm in offline mode.

Also, the DSFix pause doesn't work for me.

togglePaused VK_F6
toggleCursorVisibility VK_F7
toggleBorderlessFullscreen VK_F8
toggleHUD VK_RCONTROL

The hud hide works. Toggling Borderless Fullscreen works. Toggling the cursor works. But no pause

Siiiiigh.....

Have you tried changing the key? mine didn't work until I changed it from default to F9.

The default was F9. I've tried changing it to a bunch of different keys.

That's the most impressive skyrim screenshot I have ever seen.

Have you unlocked the framerate? It only works in conjunction with that option.

 

[soontroll]

Sorry I meant the default F9 to something else. Looking at Durante's post, I must have changed it along with unlocking the frame rate but incorrectly thought changing keys was the way to fix it.

[jim2point0]

That worked. Sadly, the free camera doesn't work while the game is timestopped. In fact, I can't even rotate teh camera left and right. Only up and down. So I'm not sure how the pause can be used for screenshots.

That being said, the cheat engine free camera is a LOT better than it used to be. And if you set a hotkey in cheat engine to change the camera movespeed to a negative value, you can move it backwards, as well as straight up and down.

But now it seems I can't even get the free camera to work without crashing the game so I pretty much give up.
