Awesome, I've learned a lot! It's fascinating to see what you all do and why.
@_sims_yimi Really interesting to see the process! If I took a shot like that first one, I'd be like 'look, I'm so good at this' :D then by the time you finished editing it's just something amazing. I can't believe you do that for all of them. Resizing images you say? I don't currently do that, just bung them in. Now I'm wondering if my loading times are slow...
Well, Sandy didn't hire him for his cooking skills. And Hogwash is a noble and longstanding name in my game, I'll have you know.
@ThePlumbob you know you can't say that Cordelia was farting fire and then not show me, right? Please say you still have that image. :D Hmm... again with the smaller images. Are you trying to tell me something, here? Although none of my chapters have 98 images... yet. ;)
@mercuryfoam your attention to detail is amazing! I really like that you edit the happy images to happier. I've tried to use in-game lighting to emphasise mood, like the second part of Weird Juice where I turned off all the lights in the room to denote that the situation was going downhill, or having Melinda in the pitch dark room and her parents in an overly bright one in Foil in the Microwave; never even occurred to me to do edits after, instead. It will now!
Your filters really do emphasise the mood and the drama. Definitely something I'm going to have a play with. Ugh, the clipping! April's eyelashes are always in her forehead. :D Ahh, it's like learning how magic is done... awesome that you can so smoothly slip things in. I had no idea that those things weren't actually there. How on earth did you get those 6 TV screens to work so seamlessly? You are so darn clever.
@lone_cat telling me that you don't like to edit and don't have a lot of experience with editing is really helpful, it's reassuring. :) I think I'll check out Reshade, especially when I get to part 2 of my story, where the tone will change, somewhat. I hear you about sinking time into everything else then glossing over screenshot editing. I feel like my screenshots are the weakest part of my story, 'cause I sink so much effort into obsessing over the text the rest.
Plenty of food for thought everyone. Thanks so, so much! <3
