User:Rvngt/RavenGT's Photoshop Tutorials

Welcome!
Ever since I've posted at GWGuru, I've been repeatedly getting PMs about how I do this and that in Photoshop to obtain the results that you see in various screenshot threads. I have no problem sharing tips with people but it is an annoyance repeating myself over time, so I thought it's best that I set up a wiki page for that. Remember kids, you can do more with Photoshop than just poster edges and dry brush filters. Enjoy :3 Rvngt 01:04, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Basics
The first step is to take clean and crisp screenshots in Guild Wars, learn how to do so here. Sometimes, just cropping the picture to your character just doesn't cut it--that, and learn how to take advantage of angles to get that fancy vibe.
 * Capturing a screenshot in Guild Wars
 * Composition

Post-processing
Crucial to creating intense action captures! ''One of the common yet effective post-processing techniques. Different colors and tones can express different moods and feels. Camera and lens effects look just as cool in screenshots. Somewhat tacky, but can be good if used correctly.
 * Motion blur & zoom blur
 * Depth of field
 * Color balance & hue/saturation
 * Camera effects
 * Overlays
