That is not graphics man that is editing.

Editing and a decent comp.
If your comp isnt from 1990 you should be able to run G-Mod at highest settings.
You also posted pictures from the best posers + editers(??) in this section. You gonna need a lot of time if you want to be as good as them.

It's called editing.

One of my screenshots is on there, and I didn't edit it outside the game one bit, so you're all wrong.

Procrastination

[The Combine]

i hate this direction we're headed into

nobody has style anymore, instead we're all obsessed with making our pictures look like obscure war photos, where gaussian blur has superseded [I]real[/I] substance in pictures. it was nice in the beginning, but when everybody started trying to be uberslug, shit just got wack

[Joazzz]

I'm not trying to make pics look realistic :saddowns:

[Santz]

I guess that everyone aims to be like Uberslug because he always gets the "HOLY SHIT THAT IS AWESOME" "FUCK AMAZING" comments on his threads, and that's what most of the people aspire to have.

Still, a lot of people have different styles of editing, like Domino for example or Joazzz, they go for crazy and colorful instead of desaturated atmospheres like Chesty or Uberslug, and everyone changes styles from time to time, I don't really think we are all aiming for Uberslug's editing style.

Edit;

Haha ninja'd by the person I mentioned.

i do, but i fail

[Zeraxify]

I really feel I might give up on screenshotting, I can never come up with ideas, and when I do, they turn out horrible. My photoshop works never improve, and it really bugs me :/
