It's no good if you go and PHOTOSHOP the images, people. They are supposed to be screenshots, not fantasy art. I'm not naming names, but I'd refrain from posting anything up for official screenshots if you have altered the photo, rather than just cropping and whatnot.

It's misleading. It's especially so if it is posted on HTC.com as an official screenshot.

I was right about to ask what kind of video cards some of you guys are running.  Especially mechanic's since there are all those parts flying everywhere. I have a fairly decent card and I know mine doesnt do that. Maybe they were photoshopped?

Who photoshopped?  I used the filmviewer, found the shot I wanted and got it to the angle I wanted.  Made the film viewer full screen and used  Hypersnap DX to get the screenshot.

thanks krusty, this is almost more insulting than if you had made it a direct attack at me :)

good point, although only two of them are edited. only to get rid of the poor hit sprites. Sorry, im a perfectionist when it come to art and visuals, i would have liked to do alot more work on them.

thanks octavius :)

Well mechanic, they look good none the less.. Maybe HiTech can take a look at them and make the game look like that. :D

The b24s on the first post with the massive sun glare look "touched up" and I can't be sure if there are really that many 24s or if they were cut and pasted. Just doesn't look like anything you'd find in AH lol.

Note: the sun glare may be some super-duper-high-end video setting that I don't get because my PC is not that great, but it just doesn't look like anything I've seen.

The FW/Spit is also another.

Mechanic, no offense intended. I think it does look good. But on the first post of this thread, the topic was about submitting screenshots for AH's screenshots page. Thus why I made my post about not photoshopping.

I feel if it's going to be on HTC.com, it should be authentic, and not promise visual effects that aren't really in the game.

If you look at all the great AH1 screenshots, they are straight from the game, yet still grab the interest of those looking at them.

honest to god (who mostly for me, is HT), the B24s are from a squad mission, totaly un-edited.

The 109 has a brief attemot to obsure the horrible hit sprite.

the spit and 190 have alot of debris but the sun is exact from AH2, i only used MS paint, i dont have photoshop.

the p38 and 190 has the smallest edit of the 'thumbs up' and the pilot's head is now looking at the lightning.

i think the Bottom one is therefore the only one that could be accepted then, as Mitsu has far better B-24 shots.

notice that the AH1 screenies on the HT page look better from their clouds than these lot atmouspherically anyone?

Krusty ...

So I suggest here that we post screen shots for collecting HTC's next screen shot page.

Notice "suggest" in Mitsu's original post. Now has Pyro or anyone from HTC posted in this thread to officially sanction the acceptance of any screen shot posted in this thread and what would be the official requirements of what they would accept.

No ? ... thats what I thought.

With that in mind, don't you think that if Pyro was to use any of these screen shots, he could easily tell the ones that have been doctored ... I think so.

So without further a-do, you have been relieved of your "Hall Monitor" status ... thank you.

That screen is not touched up.
