Hi Alrot,

I've send GCS by email to you.
No secret at all! We've got a new section:

http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/ ... rd=studiov

For the shots I use GrabClipSave and The Gimp for reseizing.
Greetings,

I've spent the last few months posting shots, not liking them, asking for advice, tweaking, posting again, not being satisfied again, tweaking again, posting again... (hoping to make it to the gallery one fine day...  :P ...).
While I did make some progress, overall I feel possibly more confused than before on certain aspects of the process. There is one thing I have learned which I'm sure of though, and it's there is no easy peasy answer to the question "how do I make good screenshots".
A whole section has been created recently where you can post your stuff and ask for specific advice about this or that aspect, about how to improve a specific shot, or just read what the celebrated experts have to say about their work. That's the way to go. You can do good things even with a subpar rig if you learn a couple of tricks and are imaginative, creative or plain lucky  :P.
Oh and there's another thing I have learned: if you let your disappointment at your screenies take away the fun, it's time to backtrack a bit.  ;)

Thanks Fabian e Is not strange for me ,that you gave me a hand I consider you a nice person and friend
Thanks.....


Fridaychild I know what you mean,and totaly  agree with you,is a very delicate matter to Talk about it,some people may get hurt,

Hurt? Why?

You're welcome, no problem!
Don't be shy to ask if you've got problems with your screenies.

In the moment I don

Sometime when I took my screenies with paint it turned AA off. That's why I'm using GCS now, and hey, it's free!
It makes screenshottaking a lot quicker and easier I think, but that's just my opinion.
Cheers,
Fabian

Hey Alrot,don

It makes screenshottaking a lot quicker and easier I think, but that's just my opinion.

Not only yours!

I don't know if you count me among those that take 'beautiful images' but:

I use MGRAB to take the shots, and then just resize or at most crop them. I use photoshop for this. I don't play with brightness, sharpness or contrast, the shots I post are as I take them.

I've invested a lot of cash in my computer so that's probably the main reason why the shots are alright....sounds like you may need an upgrade, or some professional advice - ask in the hardware section, maybe.

I usually fly for the sole purpose of taking pics and take loads, only posting the best. I use VOZ, FSSkyWorld/Perfect Sky/Blue Sky/Perfect Water/Ashar's Water/Xtra Water for my freeware textures, and Recorder 1.2/F1 View for my freeware shots.

Hope this might help

. I use photoshop for this.  

AHAAAAmmmmm  ::) so thats its mua ha haaa !!!!!

Just Kidding But Im tire to try to make my avatar the big one (not the vader) with the 3 planes witha backgroud of my homebuil cockpit you know to mix in a small an nice shot and what I get is Ugly,But Ill try some of your advises

Thanks Guys  ;)

Beautiful shots...depends what you call a beautiful shot...Some people liked my Easyjet shot that I posted a couple of days back...



No, I am not showing off by posting this pic...I just want to ask if Alex means he wants crisp images...or something besides that...

Tell me what ya think Alex and maybe I can help you out a little more

As for re-sizing et al, I use Photoshop CS2...Great for my needs and I love the Save for Web feature...
