Brother Nihm Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 shame on them why exactly? Because they should know better that to use cheap tricks to make their pictures seem better. Companies have been doing it for over a decade now, why shouldn't they? :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 um, those "cheap tricks" sell the god awful white dwarf magazine as well as the models we all buy. They have to push the product somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorns Padawan Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Mate that a decent little picture you made there! Like the idea even though as mentioned above, it has been done for years by advertising companies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerjwho Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 There was a display at games day showing how they did this, don't think it's really 'shameful' unless they do it to make painted models look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelfire Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I fail to see how photoshopping is either shameful or "cheap." It's not like they're claiming that their photos are unmanipulated, are they? It's a decent picture manip you got there, though. The background still feels a bit plain though. Perhaps adding a texture to break up the green would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 its a tad obvious, just look at the shadow shading on the legs and you can spot the blend a mile off, as for GW doing it, they have been maniupliating images for a very very long time, I dont mind so much provided they dont do it to images they are claiming are hand painted, that would just be wrong.

Marovingean Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 its a tad obvious, just look at the shadow shading on the legs and you can spot the blend a mile off, as for GW doing it, they have been maniupliating images for a very very long time, I dont mind so much provided they dont do it to images they are claiming are hand painted, that would just be wrong. With regards to that, I was speaking to one of the tech-artists at GDUK this year, and I asked whether they re-touched the models, to which he said occasionally, depending on the circumstances. He was showing me the Chariot of Chaos at the time, and showed me how they dulled the metal to make it more 'box friendly' etc, but he was also saying that for the Dwarf Miners Box set, he had to re-touch almost every single aspect of the model, for reasons he failed to mention. I think it's acceptable for box covers, they have a product to sell, but if it's a photo that is used as standard in WD, on the webby etc, then it become unacceptable. Anyway, what's the point? we can visit Nottingham and see the models for ourselves. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonclaw Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 photoshopping and magazines go hand in hand which is why women in magazines are blemish free goddesses they even make kate moss seem half decent <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-code Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 The errors in the Dark Angel codex make me chuckle everytime I see them :) Care to explain? M On page 70 there's a large spread with a picture of a massed Dark Angel army. On the right side of the page near the crease, there's a dreadnoght armed with a lascannon and a power fist. Right below the power fist is a floating chaplain head, shoulder pad, and backpack, which is obscuring the plasma pistol being held by the whole chaplain infront of the dread. ~Mike~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Donute Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 you can also make the mini look a lot cleaner in the picture with some subtle smudging. It's very revealing actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gafgarion Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Using photoshop doesn't exactly require skill. Depends on what you do with it. Pretty much anyone can crop a picture, but you should check out some of the work people do on conceptart.org using photoshop. It is kinda like saying 'painting on a canvas doesn't require skill'. But I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
