User talk:Freddy1993: Difference between revisions

Hey there! I caught that you've been reuploading the KH3 renders with your own versions. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that we appreciate the hard work you've been doing, but it's also undeniably....lacking. I went ahead and fiddled around with one of them to show you the problems at hand, [[https://i.imgur.com/8gloTQ9.png right here on this IMGUR link]]. As you can see, your uploads look a bit bootlegged, like patchwork people. The first problem is that the scans that you have been using as base contain print grain - they have a completely different texture and color balance than the renders from the UX medals. The second problem is that you've been blowing up the medal renders to match the sizes of the scan bases, resulting in a drastic difference in quality between the two. It needs to be the other way around - reduce the size of the scan base to match up with the medal render. As for fixing the grain on the bottom half, the first thing you'll need to do is match the color levels and balance. You can do this easily in photoshop with the brush set to Color at 100% - copy a color with the dropper, preferably a lighter shade on the coat, then just recolor the bottom half of it. After that, you're gonna have to use the blur tool to get rid of the grain. To wrap it up and make sure it matches, use the clone stamp tool with a very soft brush to lightly superimpose bits of the medal render and blend the two seamlessly. Unfortunately, you can't do anything about the red outline or white glow, but this way it's better than nothing. As it stands, the admins will very likely revert the uploads back to before you uploaded these. You're gonna need to fix these up significantly. :/ And also, it goes without saying, but this trick of mine will only work with characters wearing black coats. If their outfits are any more complex than that, it'll be a no-go and will be quite noticeable. Anyway, I hope this helps out and good luck! --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 04:20, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
