Jimbob Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 A while ago I saw a topic on the Mass Effect forums where a user was taking screenshots and enhancing them. By that I mean making an ordinary screenshot from Mass Effect 'extraordinary' by editing it to improve its overall features. I recently got a capture device for my PS3/PS4 and thought I'd take a few screenshots of Mass Effect 2, then have a go at editing them myself. Here are the results. You may want to open them in new tabs to flick between them and see the differences better. (And yes, that's my Shephard, I think he's flippin' awesome but he probably looks silly to you. ) Garrus Miranda Wrex Tuchanka There are more in the albums (huge spoiler alert!): Mass Effect 2 - Original, Enhanced Mass Effect 3 - Original, Enhanced I just thought that, as well as sharing my own enhanced screenshots, maybe people on this forum might like me to enhance some of theirs? It takes a little while so if you would like me to, I'd have to ask just one at a time. But yeah, would anyone like me to have a go at making their screenshots all fancy? And of course they're not restricted to Mass Effect. UPDATE: Below you can find the screenshots I have enhanced upon request. Original, Enhanced The Ace Railgun, Drill Master and Ayliffe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yesterday I made a few more of these. I probably should have mentioned previously - there are no spoilers in these images if you haven't played it before (well, maybe the first one below), and also the changes in the images will be much more prominent on better monitors, so if you're viewing this on an old device the differences won't be as clear. Anyway, here are three of them. Derelict Ship Shepard, Kasumi and Garrus This one took quite a while, as I had to draw out colour from a strongly red-tinted image. Shepard and Liara The rest are in the albums linked above. Drill Master 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drill Master Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 These are really nice. Reminds me of a screenshot I took from Halo 3. I was in Theater mode playing around with the camera, and at the time I was killing Flood with a flame thrower. As I zoomed in on myself I paused to get a nice action shot of me running with the FT. When I did, however, the fire had created a flare on the camera that shaded everything a brilliant gold hue. It looks amazing. I'd show it but my xbox is currently on loan.

Ayliffe Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 But yeah, would anyone like me to have a go at making their screenshots all fancy? And of course they're not restricted to Mass Effect. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! So yeah, can you enhance-ify that please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. I had no idea what was going on in that image so did the best I could. Some fuzz was cleaned up but I inadvertently added more in other areas... I didn't dare to touch them what with the range of colours involved. EDIT: Meh, it failed. Ah well, I tried.

Jimbob Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 I've recently finished Mass Effect 3, taking 182 screenshots of various moments throughout the game. If you've played it and would like some backgrounds there are plenty in there for you to download - album links have been added to the original post. The differences between the screenshots aren't so drastic as before for two reasons: one, ME3 seemed to handle lighting/depth-of-field/etc better than ME2, at least it felt like it did; and two, as I had taken so many screenshots I avoided spending too long on individual images. You can check out some spoiler-free screenshots below. Admiral Hackett Mars Base Normandy Cockpit Normandy SR2 The enhanced screenshot is a little blurred and sub-par in quality due to me drawing out colour and light from a very dull and dark image.
