beginners screen shot

[a1]

hi i am a beginner at taking screen shots and the photo editing software is really expensive. i wonder if this is a good one. i haven't tried to get angles or backgrounds yet.

You need turn on anti-aliasing, but other than that, looks pretty good.  I would recommend that you go download a prog called IRFanView (don't know where to get it) which is a screentaker/saver that will take the screenshots and save them in multiple formats with multiple settings.

Other than that, well crafted shot.  It has all the necessary parts, and I think you would benefit from checking out the Studio V Screenshot Workshop where you can learn all you need to know about screenshots.

Good shot, but just like Locke said, you need to turn on your anti-aliasing, and the link to the ifranview http://www.irfanview.com/

Another tip is in your weather settings, set your visibilty to 30% instead of unlimited, it looks more realistic.

the photo editing software is really expensive

I got my photo editing software, Paint Shop Pro 7.0 (similar to Photoshop) for a whopping $8 of the very popular on-line auction site which I won't mention by name.  That was 8 dollars total including the shipping and handeling.

If you don't need the very latest version of the software, which you don't, you can get the one year old versions for practically nothing.  ;)

Not bad at all! Better than I could probably do though  ;D

Btw, Nice flying with you earlier  ;)

thanks you all. i got into the screenshot art thing when i bought the game. i have so many more ideas that i sure will post up.

Pretty decent for a first timer! AA, nice angles and perspective, lighting ... just a few things to enhance your shots.

Want to know how? Like Locke said, please visit StudioV (click my sig). It is a great place to learn the tricks of the trade
If you need any help just ask ... my details are below my sig.


And I don't want to shatter the illustion you got a bargain but oldversions.com will get you an older version for free ...

PSP9 is in there and, just like PSP7, it is really good!

Nice shot for your first time.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

i got irfan view. it is so simple to use. how do i enhance the realism to the picture?

[a1]

what do you think about this one i edited.

[Sytse]

First of all, I think the composition of both shots is very nice.  :) Next time, all you have to do is set everything to the max in the graphics options to greatly enhance your shots. Don't worry about the frame rates. You can put the game on pause and still take screenshots.  ;)

[Travis]

How exactly did you edit that shot?

[waspiflab]

Think you need a graphics card
