RE: Screenshot criticism thread - Streetboat - 08-09-2012
What are you trying to accomplish with the edits?
I mean, not to sound cruel, but on a lot of those, the originals kinda look nicer than the edits, which are basically just filters and brightness changes. And lots of blur. I'm just confused, that's all.

The editing is to make it stand out more.

In some sense i find it to be pretty decent, because if you put so many torches in there, wouldn't be obvious that whole room is pretty bright, if we go into physics. It makes way more less sense to me, if there is fire and only very tiny area around light is bright and i mean too little area

And even if you look past that, I would argue that it is more realistic to have the light spread out, light bounces off surfaces and spreads out, it doesn't just cut off.

It's actually quite small, even though all these lights are here realisticly speaking the room itself should be pretty damn dark.

But I am not gonna argue with you, as it might not end well.

I only talked about lighting and how it looked, but I have seen certainly worse screenshots then this though
