For the benefit of the original PC screenshots thread, I'm starting a thread for screenshots dealing with the more artistic side of things. When it comes to downsampling, console commands and mods, this is a stigma-free zone. Moreover, it isn't limited to PC.
To keep the quality up, though, there are rules:
- No more than two full-size images per post. A full-size image is considered anything larger than 500px along any side. If you want to post more than two full-size images, either double-post or use thumbnails for the rest.
- No HUDs. You can't have an artistic shot with a load of funk all over the screen.
- All images have to be directly captured. That means no camera shots of your telly, but rather Fraps, hardware grabber shots, or images produced by in-game functions.
- No disingenuous Photoshopping. Gamma correction is fine (and often necessary); bigger boobs on Lara are not. Smaller boobs on Lara aren't either, though your taste is impeccable. This is about celebrating games, not your skills with the brush tool.
- Emulator shots are allowed but the HUD rule still applies.
- No Second Life.
UPDATE: Also, any PC tech questions - "what kinds of framerates..?", "what's your spec?" - should really be saved for the PC screenshot thread. Many of the shots here will use debug functions and the like to adopt angles and compositions you wouldn't see in-game anyway, so they're not the best targets.
