Niiiice :thumbsup:

I like the second one the best ;) .
 
What do you do to make these pics look so nice? Something with anti aliasing? Where do I find that, is it my video card? I have a Radeon 9600.
 
Photoshop, friend. Photoshop is a wonderful thing.
 
I have a 64mb ati in my laptop, so quality is far from good even with max AA/AF.

Well what I do is the following:

Set graphics quality to max in my ATI control panel in windows, then set all LFS graphics settings to max, resolution to max as well. Which in my case is 1280x1024, as that is the max that AA/AF works on.

Then take a screenshot with fraps e.g., and save as BMP.

Then it's Photoshop time. Stuff I always do is color adjustment, which includes:
Curves
Levels
Brightness/contrast

Also depending on what I want, photo filter, and hue/saturation if I want to bring out or kill certain colors from the shot completely.

You can notice on my shots that they tend to be rather dark, and most of them have some sort of blur on them. That's done in order to hide the crappy quality due to my poor graphics card. So you rarely see some bright, unblurred, crisp and sharp pictures from me, as that tends to be very very jaggy.

I also darken the edges of the picture most of the time, somthing like you can see on TG camera work.

Then it also depends again on what I'm doing, maybe add flame, blurred wheel, rotate (tilt) the picture a bit, put a frame, add some grain/noise, etc etc etc.

But color adjustment is the most important thing I'd say. I think that's pretty much it, I hope I didn't forget anything. :)
 
One more, old screenshot, never had time to edit it. :)

:) and if anybody wants the original bmp versions for editing, just let me know which one.
 
Too bad the cars don't get dirty :(.
 
First attempt.

You wouldn't have blur on the right side or on the left side, in the line with the car. The blur would be in the distant background only. Looks like gaussian blur to me, use lens blur the next time. :)

Oh, and read this:

Don't use too much blur, and especially not on this picture because the car isn't taking up much space, so be gentle with the blur.

I like the composition of the picture and the colors as well, so just fix the blur and it'll be allright. ;)
 
ok :)
With the BF1 I scared Pdanev a bit :lol: I just came out of the pit while pete was on the straight with full throttle :)
If Pete didn't reacted sooner we would have been in a major crash :cry:
anyway here is the image :)
