CLOSED: 2.0 Advanced Competition: Week 25

[MetalBeerSolid]

I hope I have made the right choice, when it came from changing my entry. Instead of keeping my other Alfa Romeo shot, then again everyone has stepped their game up.

Other then the that, if the shot was dark. Then my monitor would of needed to be set to a brighter level, which would allow me to see the shot. While everyone else would need their monitors set to a lower level, but at the end of the day.

I am happy with the final result, and that is the most important thing for me.

Can't really judge it right now because my school's library computers are garbage and the monitors are way too dark, but it looks promising.👍

So what should I do about my Ford entry? That is half German half USA company, but definitely still more German than USA.

Ford is American so it does not count, which gives other's more chance 'cause the picture is awesome

It even looks as if it was taken in that 1989. Great shot Dolp.

Hey guys, ronsmaps sent me a PM, and asked about some rule clarification, and told me I could bring it up publicly for the sake of discussion. I figured I'd do that now:

I read the rules carefully, but...I have a photo near the fountain in Madrid with my European Mercedes. I would like to darken the photo as if evening time and light the waters of the fountain as if it had colored ights in it. Is this permissable? The rules talk only about the color of the car. Help me out.

My personally take on the matter - darkening an image is acceptable, though you'll run into issues since you'll not be able to recreate illuminated headlights (see the "adding items" rule). The iffy part is colouring the fountain - that'd require very specific areas to be recoloured, which I've admittedly written a rule against for cars (to prevent custom liveries), but it isn't really clarified for the background itself.

So, on the image manipulation front, is this a step too far? Most of the rules here have been carryovers of GT4 times, reflecting the popular uses then, but I can't remember this, specifically, coming up before, so I thought I'd bring it up here (and in the 2.0 thread itself, as it's pertaining solely to it).

Pass on your two pennies!

Darkening is fine, but changing the picture to a sunset which we can't have in GT5 is breaking the rules a bit imo.

I'd say darkening the image is ok, since to an extent, that is achieveable through in game filters (though obviously it darkens the whole image). Also if he can hold down the button he has mapped to flash headlights then it wouldn't need to be added

Fully agreed on the fountain part though, this would be adding an effect to the image, which doesn't seem two fit with 2.0. My two penneth' worth

I fully agree.

Heeelll nooo It's HDR so I have to change it. Hope this new one finally works. R8 (German), Nurburgring (German), no photo manipulations and multiple images. Sooo here it is.

Many changes, many good entries Stefan. You ought to make the poll, with any shot of yours that's legal.

There's nothing in the rules against the use of Hue/Saturation or Selective Colour though, so where do you draw the line there? Technically the warm, cool cross-processing, partial colour and sepia filters in-game change the colour of background also.

I'd say treat the scenery like you did with the cars; Changing the colour/luminosity of scenery is fine (otherwise we'd have to ban all forms of colour enhancing and brightness/contrast tools), adding elements (like, say, leaves and such on the road) to scenery, not fine.

But if it's deemed illegal I can change my entry if needed.
