When i make screeny's the edges are not smooth but more edgie. How can i solve that. I having an x1900xt running so i think thats pretty good.
I can remember from f1c era that some people changed values to increase the quality but i cant remember exactly.

here a screeny from me as example about what im getting now.

Not the answer im looking for. I already figured out that ps was involved in this picture but i have seen enough screeny's where it is not the case and they are smooth as well. Im pretty sure there some settings or values for to increase the quality.

cars seem to just been mod with alot of reflection, like if theyre a clear coat. You still can notice alot of pixelisation on side of high contrast pict.

I can this kind of stuff effect within few minutes, but the reflection you seen on the car is the same. I think it can be adjust on the texutre of car, you can set a reflection on it, not 100% shure, but i think you can.

This is a print screen from my game + little photoshop effects

This is same car texture, but aplyed on F1C 1.05 as i can see the shape of front wing was in that version of mod. Same site reference you post up.

The reflection comes from the painting on the car.

It looks like the original screenshot has good anti-aliasing.
(In addition to possible PSP tampering)
Look for FSAA (full screen anti aliasing) settings in rfConfig or in your gfx driver menus.
That would be my guess.

Plus Dutch, a lot of guys crank up their settings when they do screenshots, they set everything to the highest settings FSAA to 6X, AF to 16 X, all in game settings to full, to get the best looking screen they can get. Here is a shot i took with everything set to max at GTL Magny Cours, with the CTDP mod, looks pretty good eh? Resized in photoshop, but no enhancements. With your video card, you should be able to crank all the settings up and get great screens m8. The jagged edges are cured by setting your anti aliasing to 4x or higher, i usually run mine at 2x and it still looks good. And i also set these settings through the video card driver control panel, not in the game

I do it manualy with Blur and Smudge tool. I think you can thest with Liquify filter, but you will have to learn how to control it. Maybe a filter exist to aply it on a large surface, but i didnt check for that. Il take a look at it later.

I post a little clip of where to get the tools to do it. Take in consideration that i use photoshop almost every day at work, dont worry if you have problem 1st time, hehe

Have fun! :wink:

I did this quick with photoshop,same photo as above.
If I spent more time with it I could probably get a better result.
I used motion blur with a couple of finish touches. :)

Yup, but 1st of all, you need a good angle picture that the brackground will make it more interesting, the BMW post up is not an easy picture to work with.
