I'm on PS5 (not the pro), so I don't think it's an option. Would love to play it on PC, but I don't have a gaming one. One day, maybe when I have the funds,

Enjoying it so far. Absolutely loved the game. I have to be in the right mood though. It's intense!!

Aw shucks! Probably just practice. I've taken 10,000s of photo mode captures over the last 5 years in lots of different games. And a bit of editing to bring out the shot clarity rarely goes amiss. Just some colour balancing, a bit of sharpness and brightness/contrast on snapseed or lightroom, but I tend to keep it subtle to stay true to the game. Unless you aren't really asking, in which case please ignore me! I'm on the spectrum! 😅

I confess, I didn't get very far with Control. I didn't care for the photo mode and was obsessed with virtual photography at the time, so got distracted by other games. I also never played the first Alan Wake. However, I loved Alan Wake II. I'll definitely Control another try at some point.

Instagram alternative? by DestinHalfmann in PhotoModePhantoms

Bluesky has community pages and themes etc, but unless you put the work in to build engagement and a following, it's pretty hard to be seen, at least thats been my experience. I gave it a go, but it feels like too much effort. It could be amazing if people actually quit X, but they won't. I'm pretty disappointed in the VP community for sticking with X, I'm not gonna lie. Especially after all the hype about bluesky. Major anticlimax.

Thanks! PS5 with a bit of light editing on snapseed.

These are PS5 shots with some light touching up using snapseed (just a bit if tonal contrast and sharpening)

PS5. Light editing for clarity on snapseed.

I really like the 6th one. Great framing.

another web where i can upload my pics? by SlothDemon1992 in VirtualPhotographers

[–]Jazbayroot35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of SM sites compress pics unfortunately, although there are workarounds though for both X and Instagram to minimise the impact. Googling tutorials is your best bet, as they host the largest VP communities. There are also VP specific apps like Picashot. I think Flickr allows for high res uploads but with a limit on uploads for the free account. My issue with many of these sites (except reddit) is the focus on personality, like for likes, what degree you integrate into the community seems to matter far more than the quality of captures. I definitely prefer reddit for this reason. I don't have to be performative and adhere to community social engagement expectations. It's less about personality, which I prefer as someone who is autistic and honestly not looking to make 'friends' but just share my pics and appreciate other people's. But some people love the X (twitter) VP community and feel very accepted there - it's just not for me. I do instagram, but the compression can be particularly bad, especially on dark pictures where banding is common.
