WilliamImm Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 ... actually, I voted on the poll first before you made your post.
TechAngel85 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Well call my eye trained because I can see some differences in the shots. The last shot is clearly the winning shot.
WilliamImm Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Ahhh... now I see. If you look at the terrain, you can see very slight changes in the noise. Not going to change my vote, however... last shot is still the best.
z929669 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 phazer11's shots in the OP are the better compares for this one (thanks to Wormheart though), so please base judgements on the OP.
WilliamImm Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I still like HD Enhanced Terrain in phazer's shots, so not going to change my vote.
rootsrat Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I still like HD Enhanced Terrain in phazer's shots, so not going to change my vote. Ditto
phazer11 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Do I need to post those .bmp to the wiki? It's easier to look through the actual files through my archive. IMO and a better indicator as they're uncompressed bitmaps the .jpegs are smoothing too much out the EDT effects are subtler but they're being turned to mush in the .jpegs... then again I'm a bit anal with this kind of thing as I edit pictures and video and need the "trained" eye for my classes.

Mostly just slight tint difs). Also, posting uncompressed images into the forums causes extremely slow thread load times, so that is shy I converted them.
phazer11 Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Yeah I realize. It's just I can see the difference and it bugs me. That's why I posted the archive. I'm going to try finding an alternative way of uploading the images so they can be viewed online.
TechAngel85 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 I've found via trail and error that .PNG remains truest to the in-game coloring and quality. They can be a bit big sometimes; however, using imgur this isn't an issue. Also, I sometimes open the file in Photoshop and resave it using "Save for the Web" option. This compresses the image with little to no loss in color and quality.
TechAngel85 Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Anyone else who wishes to vote should do it soon. I'll be finalizing this mod soon.
TechAngel85 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Overwhelming victory goes to HD Enhanced Terrain here. Testing complete. Moving back to MS.
