In SL the viewer takes the place of the camera. Firestorm is probably like the Nikon or Pentax, having every imaginable control. Black Dragon might be the Hasselblad, specialized. Try photos with the different viewers and learn what they have to offer. FS has the Photo Tools panels, making WL and camera settings changes quick and easy. BD has some settings in no other viewer. All cameras have basic settings and so do the snapshot panels in the viewer. For our purposes, the image size is comparable to film size, 35mm versus 61mm (2.4") type stuff. Bigger film and higher rez are better. Often taking a 3000x1700px image and reducing it to 1024x768 makes a big improvement. Working with large images I find easier and get better results. Strawberry has a tutorial on using large images and the benefits. Skell has given you a lot on lighting. Good stuff. I use a skybox for many of my images and videos. I can make my background any color I want. Greenscreen is important for videos. But the actual color one uses depends on the subject. Green is not a magic color. Cutting an avatar out of the background is way easier using a solid color background. I seldom use 'background images'. I do insert my avatar into images (example - example). I'm not that good... but I have fun. Figuring out lighting and Windlight settings is a skill. William Weaver has tutorials on how to use both. Once one has their images the Photoshop (image editing) skills come into play. Watching Natsumi Xenga paint her images can give you ideas of how to accomplish things. I seldom put that much energy into an image. Nemanja Sekulic provides great tutorials on how to use PS to accomplish many things that add drama to an image. PiXimperfect provides tutorials for the novice explaining the terms he is using in a style I often find pedantic. Now are you guys shooting with the viewers internal camera? I find it way easier to shoot screenshots on my iMac. The newly released ISO 12 gives us options to frame screenshots and record videos! I then edit in PS but mostly I don’t need to PS them much. ~ S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, always, and the pictures I post here usually do not get anything else one to them other than the occasional cropping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then edit in PS but mostly I don’t need to PS them much. ~ S I use the viewer's camera. I have screen and video capture software. The advantage of the viewer's camera is it can render whatever resolution I want. Typically 3000x1800px. The capture software literally captures my screen, 1920x1080. I have a simulated 4k setup to improve the 1920, but the 3000px viewer renders look better than any of my 1920 captures. Most of the 'created' images use SL lighting. Still, I do the final post production in PS. Most images only get a quick curves adjustment and camera tilt adjustment. A in few I do some serious painting. Those go on forever. I always see more that I want to do... All the time I spent and I totally missed the shoes poking through. Doh! 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
