2013 PC Bullshot thread of "1 FPS? That's 1 screenshot per second"

Thanks for this thread guys.

I always like to have a rotating selection of gorgeous PC screenshots as my desktop wallpaper, so this place has been a goldmine - and it’s nice to finally have some stuff that hasn’t come from the Dead End Thrills site, great though it is.

There has been a downside though - I have this weirdly pointless self-imposed rule that I won’t have wallpapers for games that I don’t own and enjoy. Thanks to you guys I finally picked up Dear Esther last night, just so I didn’t break my rule, and I’m currently resisting the urge to buy Crysis 3, despite the fact that I’m so sick of first-person shooters right now.

Nine out of ten orphans can't tell the difference.
Did some testing earlier actually and they are close to identical, in some tiny areas, paint actually keeps the image crisper.

Here's the pictures:

MS Paint

Photoshop Bicubic Sharper

I usually stay away from 'Bicubic Sharper' as I think the sharpening is to the detriment of the image given the game itself is run in a sufficient enough way to give a clean image.

I did a quick comparison myself that shows the difference between resizing in psd ( regular bicubic ) vs paint. It's very evident that the paint version has an added layer of sharpening and has more 'noisy' edges which are more visible in the lower-left/middle portion of the image on the dam facade (?).

Is there a way to apply bi-cubic sharper in downsampling in Photoshop for several files at a time? Kind of like how Xnview is able to multi-convert.

I would like to know this too. I have BC Sharper set as the default, but I'm not familiar with batches in PS.

here is how to automate it

1. open up your typical screenshot, e.g if you capture at 2160p or 1440p etc
2. enable actions under window > actions
3. click the note at the bottom with folded corner to create new action, name it resize or something
4. it should be recording now as noted by the red record button - now just resize it to what res you want, e.g 1080p or 1600x900 - whatever you post on gaf
5. CTRL+S to save it afterwards - if you want to save as PNG or JPG rather than BMP then choose save for web instead
6. now click stop button


from now on you can just go to file > automate > batch and select the resize action you created in the action drop down. the source should be your screenshot folder where your original shots are saved. photoshop will automatically resize them all for you.

Open up the actions panel (window > actions) create a new action and it will then record your actions until you tell it to stop: have an image open, open the resize window and enter a horizontal width of 1920 with constrain proportions and bicubic sharper selected, File > save for web (this is done to export a copy of the image and not save over the original) > choose PNG or you can set compression options for JPGs > save to an export folder or desktop ( do not touch the filename) > close the the image in photoshop > press the stop button on the actions panel.

You can then manually open the images and then just press the play button for each image and it will do its thing or you can select the action from File > Automate > Batch... to do a bunch at once.

Awesome, thanks!

As good as C3 looks, its all starting to feel very samsey for me. Its either raining at night or a super green area. Not to say it doesn't look incredible, because it does.

It's probably due to the fact that everyone is still posting screens of it everywhere. Maximum saturation.

Doesn't help we've been over-saturated with shots now. There's no a level, ToD setting or setpiece I haven't seen by now and I still haven't begun playing.

I'm infinitely bored of the game already, thanks to the High-res thread.

I think you can set a shortcut key for this as well so it just works automatically.
