My first try: (I blacked background out to much :S Dodge Tool couldnt fix that

)

P.S:It didnt let me select 'Soft Omni' and there where no options under the style drop down, anyone know why?

what version of photoshop?

noone said anything for mine :<

oh well

i personally only use dodge/burn for such corrections, it gives more freedom than the lightning effects.
lightning effects are good for 3d simulating tho^^

when u go lighting effects
there are 2 omni selections, one with 3 selections available, another with alot more.

and to make it less dark use at settings down the bottom, change gloss option around abit

I selected the 'Omni' option from the one with 3 selections, is that all you need?

I think I'll have to try this myself, let's see if I can work this with PSP...

This is getting obsessive

>_<

RotteN · Jun 25, 2006, 10:46 AM // 10:46

I think it might be the background, but it looks like he's not part of the pic IMO

this is a Andy Worhal rip off I decided to make.

and I forgot how I made it but I did the day after faction release.

and I dun wanna forget this one, I made it before beth made her tutorial, so I used a different blur filter, to much blur, and a different way to make the effect(I used all dodge tool because I didnt know the lighting render was there lol).

Leech: I like the waterfall setting. Isn't that in the Maguuma Jungle? Have to try it.

Queen Christie: I absolutely *love it*.

One smallish thing; don't forget the ground next to your character should also be erased to complete the 35mm effect. On your last two images, have you set the Gaussian to 3.0 or a bit more? The last shot of your mesmer is gorgeous with the waterfall in the back.

Rex the Unloving: I like the way the character is standing. One thing you might try is to use the Dodge Tool on your character to make him stand out a bit more.

Never thought of editing guild wars screen, thanks for posting this

When I first posted in the various "Post your [insert type of character] I asked myself, why not "beautify" the screenshots, make them more pleasant? And now the thread has now become what I wanted it to be, a big GW images workshop.

Nevin: Great work on the armor. I absolutely love using the Dodge tool on my characters, makes them stand out.

LiamB: Soft Omni didn't work? Hmm... strange. But great start. As for your question, I'll check out in PS. For your monk, well, even if you "overused" the Dodge tool, it gives your monk some kind of halo.

Selena_Lionheart: You chose a very interesting background and the way you illuminated your ranger makes it look like she's catching on some sun from a clearing. I like it.

TheRanger: It's a great start. Now, make your Soft Omni larger to give more light, erase the blur on the rock your ranger is standing and use the Dodge tool a bit on him. I want to see how it turns out.

Android Girl · Jun 25, 2006, 01:01 PM // 13:01

Thats its bigger. ^_^

My first try... Good thing is, all the tools have the same names in PSP, although configuring them works a little different. I'm not entirely satisfied with the result though. I think I overdid it with the dodging on the shiny armor parts. also, maybe I should've blurred Grenth less.

On a side note, this is one of my first ever GW screenshots, which has been sitting in my screens folder for over a year now.
