Sorry, replying so late. >.< Thanks for the compliment!



As for Reshade, I use Gshade from Gposers, because it comes with a ton of presets already. And there I mostly use Johto's presets I think.

Thank you! We have a skin colour for our viera's that's quite similar. Mine's one to the left, one to the top from yours. I had never used shaders before and now I'll try using GShade thanks to you

Beautiful Vieras all of you! We should totally make an eat bread convention just for the pictures somewhere on shared servers haha xD

Today I got to celebrate a year of marriage with the best man ever <3

Obviously I am over the moon happy

And of course nothing could make this day complete if bread wasnt involved

Great advice, and a beautiful viera to top it off. Good stuff!

Yeah, I want to get more closeups, but I mainly post due to my glamours, so I feel like I am leaving something out if I cut out the glamours. Also, I don't like cutting off myviera's ears, and I have my viera's ears kind of long.

I dabbled with image editing like idk 10+ years ago. I was a teen at the time, and it's been... awhile. I do have GIMP 2 on my PC right now though. I really should start practicing again. The games lighting for sure leaves things to be desired, a lot of the time more red lighting is exactly what is needed, but it makes the image too red, and my viera actually has pink hair, so it really shows!

Good tips overall, for even others who may be browsing this thread.

I love the glamour, the new sets look great on Viera. And you do a good job with the poses.

If you don't mind, I just want to share some general advices to improve on screenshots (I am not an expert but know a thing or two):

- Definitely try different angles. Full body poses are good, especially to show off glamour, but also try close-ups and from behind. It gives the feel of a professional photoshoot session (at least imo) and makes the pictures look more alive and not static.




- Try combining poses with emotions to overwrite the pose's actual emotion. This needs some experimenting, but comes off with interesting results. On many races my favorite is probably /sulk and /simper.




- As for your issue with colors, not sure if you considered it, but I often edit my screenshots in a program after (just a simple one is plenty enough). There you can adjust colors for examples, like reducing the red hue, to make pictures look warmer or colder or to just clean them up.




- And working with the other functions of /gpose also improves quality a lot. Like I took my sweet time to try out the lights but it really helps, especially in dark places, to keep your character in the focus and not let it drown in the background.

This is excellent advice, Allae!

If I may chime in, combining /no with any of the happy face expressions gives the photographer (screenshooter?) a confident character shot. Another fun pose is to summon your mount before you go into /gpose. You look like you are whistling!

You can also try changing where the character is looking by moving the camera and hitting the spacebar. Everyone loves a look over your shoulder shot!

Feel free to experiment. /Gpose is getting more flexible with every update! You can even remove distractions and focus just on your character.

If players want to learn how to take better screenshots, or simply want to chat with fellow artists, I can think of no better resource than FFXIV Snaps

I hope this helps, Sturm.

I really don't post much here, but I was recently looking through my few past posts and saw that I had posted screenshots from the Shadowbringers Benchmark, with a face that I thought I was going to go with when it launched. Actually ended up changing my mind just before launch, switching from Face 4 to Face 1, as I felt it looked closer to how she looked like as a Hellsguard Roegadyn.
