2015 PC Screenshot Thread of the Only Place Where Compression Isn't

Just curious, which website do you guys use to host your images?

I'm using "FlickR" it's free, used to have a better UI but still not bad!

Can you post direct links? I get a popup to imageshack if clicking on your screens. You have like 8 images, do I have to visit imageshack 8 times? If you want to carry on then please don't mind me. Same deal with abload, people insist on sending you there to that advert you can't close. I can understand supporting the site and might not mind if a user posts infrequently.

I use Flickr. It's free, offers something like 2 terabytes of storage, and seeminly has no limit on individual file sizes. I store 8K originals on another account so I don't lose them :)

There are a lot of other features I like about it.

Nicely organized albums.

There's also a community of screenshotters within Flickr, and you can get some interesting per-image discussions. Just a few quick examples...

Flickr also has this feature called "explore" which uses some weird algorithm to highlight certain photographs\digital art\whatever. It's usually pretty good quality stuff. And recently, more and more screenshots are getting inducted. I like to go through every now and then to see if I can spot a video game screenshot. It's rare, but cool when it happens.

If you have a pro account, one of the niftier features is stats tracking.

Ultimately meaningless, but I think it's fun to see how people discover my Flickr, what days I get more views, or how a screenshot being in the DeadEndThrills group affects the stats.

If you don't want any of that, Flickr is still a good host to just upload images. Though getting to the original uploaded image is tricky at first.

I've said it a billion times before, but I'll say it again. It drives me freakin nuts when people do this. The whole idea of this thread (I think) is to post high resolution screenshots so we don't have to worry about compressed thumbnails linking to the originals in the first place. And it gets increasingly annoying when the links take you to a page with ANOTHER thumbnail with an additional click to get to the original. STOP DOING THAT.

Explore is awesome. One of my screenshots (which I thought was just a regular lame shot) ended up on there, and it got 10k views and 200 favourites in a few hours. For someone like me, who doesn't have a clue about photography, it's a massive boost in confidence and really makes me look forward to taking more screenshots.
 
Jim, I just decided to try and take screens from Dying Light using your CE table but I can't seem to be able to enable HUD toggles. Everything else works just fine :(

Seems like the latest patch broke the HUD toggle.
Wait for Jim to update the table, or change back to a previous version of the game.
 




Its a little annoying that I have to switch to TXAA to get optimal still image quality for a screenshot and then switch back to SMAA for good temporal AA for normal playing.

If the latest version is still 1.4, then I do have a new HUD toggle.

Midhras and K-Putt are currently using the table in the latest version of Dying Light and it works for them.

I've been taking screenshots on Flickr for 3+ years and have never been in Explore. I can assure you though that most of the time, getting on Explore has more to do with networking factors than it does the quality of the screenshot. Hell, Midhras put up a collage of thumbnails once and it got in Explore. He's since wiped the favorites and removed it from the explore group, but you can see the views and the comments about it.

I've completely given up hope that I'll ever have a shot in there. But it's fine. It's not as though the views\favorites actually have a long tail affect on your stats, but I'm sure it's still fun for a day :(
 
Nice :)
Hadn't noticed you already updated the table. I don't think a new version went up after 1.4
Have to thank you once again for all your CE work :)

I also updated my DmC table. If you use the UE3 pause command, you can get actual camera coordinate control that doesn't clip into walls and works during cut scenes. You can also set up resolutions assigned to hotkeys if you use GeDoSaTo. Makes hotswapping between aspect ratios rather easy.

Also, see how those images aren't links? That's because I DON'T HATE EVERYONE.
