Dear Esther, 1080p, blown up to 5k, Topaz Simplify, added a bit of Gaussian blur to soften the image, Resized back to 1080p
RAGE, 1080p, blown up to 5k, Topaz Simplify, added a bit of Gaussian blur to soften the image, Resized back to 1080p. Added a very slight red boost.
If I'm beating a dead horse here, please tell me and I'll stop.

Nope! The way I see it, this thread is not as busy as Screenshot thread, so it might seem dead sometimes. I've been waiting for my new Desk/monitor setup to get some more shots, myself.
Oh, I knew that. I've been following that thread for about 1½ years.
What monitor are you getting? Ijust bought a 27" LG IPS monitor over the summer. It is glorious. Getting back on track...
I just meant the fact that I seem to fill this thread with my pics mostly. I seem to be hitting a lull at the moment as I've almost rummaged through my screenshot collection. I do have a few experiments in mind when I get the time/interest to take new screenshots. I've been playing more, snapping less lately.
Even then though, I was asking about posting. I'm still having too much fun with the Topaz Simplify filter to actually stop using it. I did buy it by the way. I'm using it with GIMP.

I plan on buying it when I have more shots. I got the VG248QE and it's glorious, but I need a desk and TV mount for my setup to be better.
DiRT 2, 3840x2160, Topaz Simplify, added a bit of Gaussian blur to soften the image, Resized to 1080p
Enslaved, 2560x1440, cropped slightly, blown up to 4k, Topaz Simplify, Resized to 1080p
I fiddled with resolutions in this game for a bit. Later shots are in 4k. I haven't finished the game yet on PC. Played it through on consoles earlier.

This threa seemed take a pause again. I've been busy myself with other stuff so I haven't been using the simplify filter much. Also most of the screens I've taken from Enslaved dont seem to play well with the filter. Here, have some Monkey backs:

Wow. This one looks totally looks like concept art or something.
FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage, 2880x1620, cropped slightly, blown up to 4k, Topaz Simplify, added a bit of Gaussian blur to soften the image, Resized to 1080p.

It is pretty. Original, if you're interested.
I decided to test that game with the filter over the weekend. Those are new shots. I have a couple from RAGE that I need to filter, but overall I'm done with my screenshot collection rummaging... hence the more sporadic posting.

Mother of mercy.
I suppose the game itself is completely unplayable like this because the menu texts are all messed up?
Yeah, the menus would be all kinds of messed up if it was possible to add these filters during gameplay, but it's all photoshop right now though.
I imagine it would be possible to inject post processing into the rendering pipeline before the hud is drawn in a native PC game, but I also imagine it would be more complex in emulator. But I'm no programmer.

Never underestimate Emulator creators.
Those Dark Souls shots inspired me to make another one and I really, really love how the full sized 4K one came out.

I haven't been screenshotting much lately. Mainly vanilla skyrim randomly and Mass Effect. Neither of which I feel like would translate well throught the filter. I did experiment yesterday with the original FlatOut though. I just couldn't run it in 4:3 aspect ratio so I had more steps to go through when editing shots.
FlatOut: 2880x1620, resized incorrect aspect ratio (16:9-->4:3), cropped to 16:9, blown up to 4k, Topaz Simplify, added a bit of Gaussian blur to soften the image, Resized to 1080p.

Looks fantastic. God I love the look of XII
I agree. I tried Blood Dragon also, but that didn't work out so well.
I'll give both of them another go though at some point in the near future.

In the same manner as this video, I ran a video of Skyrim through Photoshop CS6's Oil Paint filter (and cranked the brightness and saturation), and I think I ended up with a pretty beautiful look that I would love to experience in a game.

All credit to Hodilton for capturing the original footage, as my computer can't run those super real looking Skyrim mods, which work the best for filtering.

Should I go about making a new thread? I have some ideas.
Sure, be sure to link it here.
I don't expect it to be as active as this thread was though.
I should probably make a 2014 GIF thread as well.
