ANNOUNCEMENT The Great 3.0 Treasure Hunt - Competition!

[Ozric]

Meanwhile, us Xbox users usually have to do some light editing of our screenshots because they come out far too dark on the console, and don't represent what we see on screen. Can't speak for PS4 users though.
I usually do a little brightness, contrast and saturation tweak.

Must... resist... console... comments...

I'm joking of course, that sucks.

Oh the chieftain, maybe if hadn't nerfed the missions into the ground some people could afford to be in the competition. Nice distraction though from the broken bits I most say.

Already nice pictures

Why does it have to be on twitter or facebook? Blooming irritating. I'm trying to remove myself from these time and data sponges.

EDIT: Thanks FDev for allowing entry by the forums, your own social media tool

Week 1 - can't enter, I'm in Colonia.
Weeks 2 and 3, will maybe have a go - but taking an external screenshot during combat, seriously?
Week 4 - again in Colonia so can't enter.... or can I?!

Week 1 - If someone ends up flying a Chieftain over, you'll be in luck!
Week 2 and 3 - It doesn't have to be external, however there's something thrilling about live action photography! You could always get two other Commanders to fight and photograph that.
Week 4 - DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUH. Who knows!

I was beaten to asking this myself it seems, but I'm still curious as to what "light editing" is? How much colour alteration is acceptable? I personally never edit any of my screenshots, because otherwise it's not a true reflection of the game and there's enough beautiful and amazing sights in this game as it is.

Ideally you should only enhance the original image, not overly manipulate or fake the image. So saturation, hue, DOF, white balancing, contrast etc are all acceptable. Basically, we'll judge each on a case by case basis

Try Multi-Crew, it is perfect way how to make some really nice screenshots (you not need to be owner of this ship to participate).

 

[madbilly]

Great idea! Thanks for the suggestion

Deleting my submission was pretty lame Paige

Lovely stuff, cheers.

Initially we decided to run this competition purely on social media to allow easy sharing of screenshots and to ensure we can track all the entries properly. However, seeing as everyone commenting would like to participate via the forums, you can now enter the competition here!




Light editing is acceptable (levelling, use of blur or sharpen tools, colour alteration) however excessive manipulation will be disqualified. Thanks for asking!



Indeed!

Yeah!! [big grin] Thanks, Paige.

So why the heck would you give the game as a prize when obviously you already need the game to enter said competition? Why not offer a paint job or some other useless thing?
