Fly2e:

Wowza! Wonderful shots. I love the 737, and I don't think anyones made the PF Lear60 look that good.

ramsa329:

Changing aspect ratios... which would involve cropping, at least to some extent? As to not distort the original? It might also be useful to point out that none of those images above have the same aspect ratio?

You're saying it's bad to "remove the parts which are blurry or poorly positioned etc"? Well, maybe not in Payware, but under 'Edited Screenshots,' I don't see why that has to be disallowed. Not everyone has a system up to par with yours, and not everyone has the time or money to use your service, and, regardless, editing your screenshot afterwards is only to allow for that screenshot to look as good as possible given what you have to work with. That, if FS screenshot taking can be considered an art, involves at least some creativity aside from setting the shot up in the first place. Why should you be one to say whether or not a person can or cannot 'crop' or 'change aspect ratios' on shots after the fact?

Cropping is part of editing, seeing as how Fly2e probably selected a fixed aspect ratio, dragged the desired portion, and then clicked 'Crop Image' (if he were using PS)...

I don't know. I'm not the person to ask about these things. All hail ramsa, master of taking screenshots in Flight Simulator.

Well, I agree with you krigl. I just don't understand ramsa's hatred towards cropping.

And thus,the best thing to do would be spending lots of money on the super-special-über-FSGS treatment...

Cropping makes uninteresting shots interesting and has  nothing to do with an ugly, wrongly set up sim.

Okay, name a freeware add-on (aircraft and/or airfield), a time of day, a weather theme and a location.

make it a poll.......


Bout cropping...Dunno....

I haven't really done a lot with it up untill recently...Some to enhance the effect and some to cut out pieces....


Some may like...Others don't


Ya can't please everyone

Krigl,

At no time were any of my comments directed at you personally but at what I did and do still consider an excuse.

In the same way that I consider the issue of compression an excuse.

In all the time that I have been posting on these forums I cannot ever remember even one question that someone asked me about compression.

As a person who runs a completely unique service I find it strange that I am never asked even though my shots are very detailed and would in most cases and in the hands of others not be within size limits.

Nor have I ever been asked any questions about .cfg files settings or most anything else.

At 57 yrs old with 3 children all of whom are teenagers I also have gone down a couple of roads in my life.

It took me years to develope a business as unusual yet as successful as mine.

I had to convince clients of mine that it was to their benefit to pay me and my company for screenshots. They had to see each time how their traffic increased at their sites and how the shots could enhance their sites reputation.

To me the screenshots forums are the most important part of any site. They define the site and its art and give clients and users the best opportunity to experience a product.

I still disagree with you about the art comparison you made and nothing will change that and like you about me I didn't like the ideology or the tone which is why I replied.

800x600 is the canvas on which I paint and I choose it bcause it works best for me as an artist.

As you said the size of the canvas is irrelevant unless of course the artist deliberately uses it to mask his/her lack of vision or technique.

and in no way was my reply a comment about you or your shots, your intelligence or your age.  I happen to like your shots.

So don't get your feathers all ruffled. Feel free to say whatever you want about the shots that I post.

Oh and by the way I rarely reply to posts in such detail. I too have very little time to "correct" you.

But again there was no personal attack and if you perceived it as that than I apologize.

As to Heretic apparently for him it's a little more than just fun.

and I more than resent his comment about my business.

and his very ill-advised challenge.

Just because you can help people tweaking their system makes you better than me. Sure.

A democratic decision would be better. But if you say so...

Only cropping, if necessary.

Right.

Because you indirectly label those who don't take your treatment as idiots.

Quote:


It was my decision. And I don't regret it.

I like cropping. It means every picture is different, and very few screenshots I post fit the generic 800x600, but tend to be 800xsomething else! It also means I can quite happily place the aircraft off centre in the picture, making it a little different...

I do exactly the same with my photos.

Got the scenery but can't find the plane on AVSIM
