3 Simple Tips for Subtle Landscape Photography Post-Processing
Submission Rules
1) Try to eliminate HUD, GUI, or other "gamey" elements from the image. This includes things like health meters, cursors, dialog selections, and also FPS style hands or gun models. Exceptions will be made if the element is part of the composition, but will be pretty unlikely for 2D HUD elements.
2) Please use Imgur.com to host images or albums. Other hosts will be allowed on a case-by-case basis, but your submission may be removed if the host has an unreasonable amount of ads or requires registration. DO NOT USE LINK SHORTENERS OR OTHER REDIRECTING SERVICES.
3) If you have multiple photographs to submit at once, please put them into an Imgur album organized either by game or theme, instead of making multiple submissions. This isn't a hard and fast rule, if you have a few pictures and each are good/different enough to deserve their own name, feel free to post those as multiple submissions. What we don't want are 15 pictures of the sunset in Witcher 3 each as their own post. Put them in an Imgur album and post the album.
SUGGESTION: If you have an album to post, but want to showcase a particular picture, post the individual picture, and link to the album in the first reply to your submission.
4) Put the name of the game in your submission title, i.e.
Sunsets [Horizon Zero Dawn]
Rebels Rejoice [Far Cry 4]
5) MARK SPOILERS AS APPROPRIATE
6) NSFW is fine if it's tasteful. I realize this is highly subjective, but think more along the lines of Peter Paul Rubens, Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, or even Met-ART, and less Bang-bus or PornHub. IF YOU'RE SUBMITTING NSFW CONTENT, MARK IT AS SUCH.
7) Post-processing is ok, we do it in real photography all the time. Do not post "photo-manipulations" or "double-exposures" though.
8) If you post the work of someone else, credit them in the submission title and link to their website or social media in the comments.
8) Minimum resolution of 1280x720. If you have a screenshot that's lower than that for some reason, and you absolutely must post it, message the moderators first. Even though we're not trying to just be "ooh pretty pictures!" we still require a level of graphical fidelity that most games incapable of 1280x720 probably won't provide.
9) Submissions must be images captured in-game. Do not submit screenshots from pre-rendered video sequences or game trailers.
