Neowin Digital Gallery - Yearly Edition 2011

Pretty much, then I repaired all the spots on her face and arms.

Do you think she looks better air brushed?

The question is whether i'd hit that or not, then it doesn't matter :p I kid I kid ( Well no I don't, I just don't want to be disrespectful :p )

IMO on the arms and anywhere else you can go crazy, however see how on the untouched one, she has her left eye brow slightly raised and in the spot healed on, that slight expression is nearly gone, eg no details on the face. i'm not saying she looks bad, i'm saying her face looks over processed.

Screw it, I'll say it. I do her! lol

If she's your girl, I'd say with pics like these she's not against a camera in the bedroom ..... :yes:

If she's not, why not?!

What are you using for the PP, Lightroom or Photoshop? I have to admit, I'd like to get a few pics of my wife and kids brushed up slightly, but not very confident they'd turn out as well as yours.

Lightroom

Hi. i use the brush tool for brushing and i just eyedrop the skin color and then use a very soft brush to brush over the area to make it smoother.

if there are pimples and such use the clone stamp tool in PS..

also..one trick it to do many layers of brushing .. very soft... and then blur it 20px or so.. and reduce opacity of the brushing layer..

P.S. Always do brushing on a seprate layer.

Layers is to much work :p

wow! SO... experienced then :laugh: She definitely doesn't look like she's had 2 kids.

P.S. Warwagon, did you add me then block me :p ?

You are unblocked.

"HI WANNA SEE ME PLAY ON MY WEBCAM" is probably not the best first message to send. I block that on instinct.

goof ball.

Seems like there's only two or three of you participating in that sort of discussion. It brings down the quality of the rest of the thread/forum. Comments like the ones you guys make would result in being instantly banned on other photo forums I've frequented. It's one thing to post pics of girls and ogle them, but it's different in an "art" threat.

Right... Cause NO ONE in other "serious" forums thinks semi-nude girls aren't hot? I just speak my mind bra :) OH wait... perhaps a: " Oh my warwagon, what a delightful piece of womanhood you've photographed"... I mean... Seriously Crazzy?

Wow, really? I thought it was only a bit of crack, and warwagon doesn't seem to bothered that we are taking the **** a bit!

Okay then, if you insist.

I took this about a year ago at my mates 30th. Think the camera was on fully auto, as I couldn't be bothered messing with settings when trying to take drunk people's picture! The reason I love this image is because, even though disco lights are totally random and can fall anywhere on a dance floor, the spotlight fell on my mate at exactly the moment the camera took the photo. Brilliant! And total fluke.

f/4/0, 1/60, ISO200, 26mm. Heavily adjusted levels in PS, adjusted colour saturation and sharpened slightly.

Not bad photo, except for that weird hand on the bottom left.

I didn't say they were "serious" forums. One of them is digital photography school, which is geared quite toward "beginners." And everybody can think it. Making public comments is different.

I've taken photos of models and have not put some of them up here at Neowin because I didn't want to deal w/ childish "zomg she's hot" comments. It's one thing to say "wow, what a pretty/beautiful model" compared to "omg, I'd hit that." One shows maturity and respect for models. One does not. If you want, and apparently Neowin mods support it based on their allowing of previous comments, you can start a thread where you can post photos of hot girls and discuss their assets there.

I ask you this: Would you raise your hand in a photography class and comment "I'd hit that." Not likely. I don't come here to get color commentary on women. The Digital Gallery should be a place that's free from childish comments. It's a thread to share and learn and discuss photography related things. Yes, discussions do stray from the topic at times, but that should be the focus. I wish a mod or two would weight in on this.

It's all about respect.

@warwagon, mind sharing the settings?

If you want to get rid of these shadows, you should use some kind of reflector or fill flash. Also, you need to position yourself better, like that grass shot, you could've lied down too, give it a shallower depth of field.

I'm still a beginner, just my 2 cents.

Here is my first attempt at a proper picture with my new camera.

post-234086-0-89048600-1309999535.jpg

Camera is a Fuji Finepix S2800HD

Settings were set to auto mode... so no skills there then :)

Cropped a little in photoshop

Any tips would be welcome.

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
