Image Editing
Frequency:
I wasn't sure if I should put this in the photography megathread because I didn't really take a photo and it's not real life.
I was browsing the gallery for one of my favorite games (Shores of Hazeron) and I noticed this really beautiful scenic image
I wanted it as a background for my desktop, but the problem here is that it's
A. 1280x720
B. pixely and weird because the game is pixely and weird
so what i did was i saved it and cracked open GIMP so i could edit it. I enlarged it to 1280x1050 (using the Sinc (Lanczos3) interpolation setting) and since enlarging the image did... things... to it, I applied different filters with different settings to it to blur and sharpen the image until i figured it was presentable
I just made a better version by using the despeckle filter and sharpening/blurring important parts of the image
the result:
now i think it's alright, but is there any way I can improve it somehow?
i actually like it more now.
mod-man:
eyyy not bad! ive never actually tried making small images high quality in that fashion
im glad you posted this thread, i wanted to show this pic i just now did but didnt want to start a topic for it lol:
EDIT: i even gave it a pass with instagram filters:

thanks dude!! i was really happy with how it came out. i feel like i shoulda cleaned up the edges more, but the colors make up for it. i like the color in it the most
