^ You must be working on texturing. Very nice. I especially like the one with Deanna. The background against her face looks nice.

Nice. It also would have been nice if they actually made that movie. Too bad.

Not to be a dick, but looking at the most recent images added, it looks like someone made screencaps of TNG HD and just ran them through a filter app like Instagram.

That's possible, but this is called the "Photoshop thread," so I'll give the benefit of the doubt. You can also create those effects in PS, you know.

Oh I know. I'm just positing that it was a filter app. Which at the end of the day, isn't really that bad a thing (I use them too!) but there's a world of difference between importing an image through one of those apps and actually creating something through Photoshop.

To clarify, I do not mean to impugn the talent of the poster in question, I'm just thinking out loud.

Spock/Uhura Fan · September 23 2012, 07:36 PM

Nothing's wrong with thinking out loud.

"World of difference" depends on the quality of the screen caps (if they were screen caps, and many people might not have gotten TNG in HD yet) and the skill involved. We don't know if this person is a beginner or not or what they used, but the effort is nice.

Thanks. All I meant by "world of difference" was that it's an easy thing to import a photo, pick a filter, and click "save" on your phone.

Taking a regular photo and tweaking it to achieve the same effect requires a lot more patience and skill.

Very true.

I definitely would have, but I wanted all 5 captains to be represented.

I approve of this choice, and I figured it was the reason.

Spock is so awesome that he transcends the letter S and all letters of the alphabet, anyway.
