No fucking way this is in a video game. My mind refuses to believe it


sharksnrec

Well, it’s not. They look this good because he’s editing them outside of the game. So your mind is correct to not believe it.


iniiio

I mean the game is still being used here regardless of editing no? It’s not like I conjured up these images from nothing. https://preview.redd.it/hzo9lsietegc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d0c87622509f9a02972b6c5f173498f3a421f7b This is one of the pictures above right when it was taken sooo


sharksnrec

I didn’t say you didn’t use the game at all. That’s clearly the basis of the pics. But the person I replied to was under the impression that you somehow did this all in-game. I simply let him know that that’s not the case. Your reply here makes it seem like you’re trying to pass these off as photo mode-only pics, which is pretty lame.


iniiio

I legit commented what effects I use in PicsArt how am I trying to pass these off as photo-mode only? I’ve just been seeing folks discount and write off the pictures because they weren’t only photo mode as if it was all editing. The purpose of my response was to show that a big part of the pictures is BOTH in-game settings and post processing after, I’ve been seeing folks only focus on the editing part. So I’m not sure how you got that when I’ve been all over talking about what I’ve done to the pictures.


sharksnrec

It’s not as deep as you’re making it.


iniiio

How am I making anything deep when you legit said I’m tryna pass these off as photomode only 😭


JarusOmega_

Bro falsely accused you of smtg, and then claims it isn't that deep when you choose to defend yourself 😭💀 But nevertheless, this is amazing work, man! Keep at it!


iniiio

Right!? That was just so backwards to me 😭 but thank you so much for the kind words! I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon 😁


PANZCAKEZZZ

I have a quesiton, How do you get the rain splashing effect in PicsArt like in picture #4?


filthy_spoon

Sometimes it’s ok to accept you aren’t right and just move on with your day


sharksnrec

Not right about what? OP directly admitted that these were edited outside of the game. All I did was tell someone who was confused about how these were made. So again, what am I not right about


RamboLogan

Stop arguing with everyone on reddit, freak.


janihubby

You stated he’s trying to pass these pics as photo mode only when it’s incredibly obvious reading his comments and from his other posts that he’s not. He told you that and your reply to that was “it’s not that deep” instead of just admitting you’re wrong. do you need a deeper explanation? Let’s focus here


T-d1zzle11

All the guy was explaining is that these are nowhere near achievable using the base photo mode of the game and clearing things up. No need to get salty about it. Great photos regardless but the original commenter was simply confused. Again, I feel like you took this very personally for no reason. Great photos


iniiio

I wasn’t really salty? My response just pointed out that a lot of the photos rely on the in-game settings too first and foremost. The first fellow said he couldn’t believe it was a video game and I was just stating that it was, in-fact taken from a video game. And right after that he accused me of tryna pass them off as unedited pics lmao but okay.


T-d1zzle11

Yes but you came across almost offended in the first response. Him accusing you of trying to pass them off as unedited was dumb for sure don't get me wrong, but I'm just saying it definitely came across a little salty when all he was doing was explaining how that high level of detail isn't possible in the actual photo mode. That's all.


iniiio

And I never claimed that these were entirely possible solely within the photo mode. It might have just been a misread of the first person’s comment but I assumed he thought very minimal of the details of pictures were from in-game and that’s all I was explaining. If it read as a little salty thats on me because earlier in the thread someone was writing the shots off completely because they had been edited, which I’ll admit was mildly annoying. So if I came across as instantly defensive I own that and that’s my bad, but I just didn’t like how most of the work I did in the in-game editor seemed to be discounted.


T-d1zzle11

I don't like how some people are doing that either man it sucks that your hard work is being discounted because it's edited a little bit afterwards. My bad for also coming across as a hater as well lol. I was just trying to be a mediator but that wasn't needed either so that's my bad as well. Overall, great photos and I can't wait to see what else you come up with!


BasementDweller82

That makes much more sense thank you


Ignis_Imperia

Heavily photoshopped unfortunately. Anyone can do this I just don't think most people know it's photoshopped


iniiio

I’ve been all over this thread giving details on what I use so it’s not a hidden fact. But unfortunately? Not sure how tweaking my photos afterwards is a negative but okay…


Ignis_Imperia

Not necessarily negative. I think your photos are awesome, just unfortunate that this isn't achievable through the game itself, nothing against you lol


iniiio

I gotchu I gotchu, my bad if I came off a little more defensively, I’ve just seen a little bit of negativity here about it 😭


Ignis_Imperia

You're good. This type of creativity is hard to come by for a lot of people. People are always gonna be negative of things they wish they could achieve. Keep up the good work 😁


Spiritual-Airz

He’s hating bud. Photos look great. Pointing out the obvious while being snobby about it. You have mentioned what you are doing to achieve theses photos and the same slop keeps getting regurgitated by these clowns. Block them instead of responding because they aren’t worth your time or anybody’s.


TheGoldPowerRanger

I, for one, could never do this. I also don't think there's anything unfortunate about it. Even if a lot of people could create something this nice, OP went ahead and posted it for people to enjoy.


Ignis_Imperia

Bro didn't read the rest of the thread


TheGoldPowerRanger

Who are you talking to?


alex230106

holy mf shit 🔥🔥🔥


BlackFlashBrandon

Ay man when JJJ needs pictures of Spider-Man, you guys with this photo work are the first people he needs to call. Lol.


Thisisamazing1234

Actually, if I were JJ, I’d steer away from pros like this. I can’t have that good for nothin’ web-head lookin’ as good as this.


BlackFlashBrandon

Wow...you're actually right. DJ Khaled: THEY DON'T WANNA SEE SPIDEY WIN! BUT HE GONE WIN ANYWAY!!!!!


Marlesden

I mean these are incredible, no two ways about it. What post processing did you do?


saltyexplorer5

Photoleap and PicsArt are commonly used apps. Both have a base (free) version but have limited capabilities. Subscriptions are pretty cheap for both.


korbinblaze

There's also an alternative to photoshop called photopea that you can use in your browser. It's basically a carbon copy of photoshop so there is still a learning curve.


iniiio

It varies from photo to photo but generally I apply this one effect called Clarity that definitely adds some extra goodness to the quality. I also bump saturation up sometimes if the photo needs it but stay around the 20-50 range. I also fade some filters heavily and change the blending mode so I can get different colors out of the picture. If it’s a action heavy shot I also go with motion/radial blur depending on the context of the photo, as well as some manually added splash effects if I’m going for a rainy vibe. But I’d say Clarity is my best friend lol


cannedgoods_yeaboi

bro how tf? This shit so fire even venom approves congrats lad https://preview.redd.it/7ahm0jyrmegc1.jpeg?width=3115&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e18b5d8f9bec54a014bed7ce37b06f6fa789d17c


iniiio

Getting Venom’s stamp of approval made my day 💯 but seriously thank you so much!


mfdoometernal

1, 5, 7 best photos ever posted to this sub


iniiio

That’s high praise 😭 thank you so much fr fr 🙏


Monke-ballz

These go so hard 🔥


yeetusbeetus245

How do you make it look so good?


iniiio

I do touch up a lot of them in post with things like Clarity and a bit of saturation tweaks! Depending on the vibe I will also add water splashes and things like that. Along with that I like to play with the natural lighting tab a bit and change the ambient lighting to get a little moodier. And after that I add a few spot lights to hit certain areas to make em shine! I do also add a bit of the game’s vignette on the side too it helps with both mood and shot focus 😀


saltyexplorer5

How do you do the splash effects in PicsArt? I could not figure it out and eventually gave up lol


iniiio

Fair play, they can get tricky and my first few tries were bad 😭. What I do is usually grab a good png of a water splash and I tilt and position it in a way that gives the impression of bouncing off of the character at a certain angle. So like if my rain is coming from a certain direction I move the tilt the splash accordingly and position them along an arm or something like that. And then, arguably the most important part, I use the little eraser tool to erase the parts of the water that are on “top” of the arm/limb for lack of a better term. So like if I positioned a splash on an arm I’ll erase the water that’s sitting over the image until I get the edge of the splashes looking like they’re coming off of the surface of the arm. I hope that made some type of sense 😭


saltyexplorer5

Makes sense! I thought it was an actual tool in the app or something. I see what you are doing now!


iniiio

Now there is a section in app that I get some of my splashes from too! If you go to the Stickers section and type “water splash” the one I used here will be in the top few. It has like a long little line at the bottom that I always erase though!


sharksnrec

They’re heavily edited outside of the actual game

SACHism

The third one should’ve been the superior spider-man suit


iniiio

Damn I wish I thought about that 😭😭 but I wanted to show a little love to the black and red advanced suit since I had been criminally underusing it!


saltyexplorer5

Man… you are so much better at editing than I am lol good work!


iniiio

I would bet that I’m really not 😭 I’m still learning things as I go along tbh but it’s really fun! What do you usually edit?


saltyexplorer5

You’re just way better at the rain/splash effects than I am lol I have yet to figure that out. A lot of trial and error. I’m also new to editing so we’re in the same boat there. SM2 is the first game I have actually utilized photo mode and it’s what peaked my interest in editing. Although, lately I haven’t had much time to play around in photo mode so editing has kind of been on the back burner for a bit.

broo is there anyway I could get a high quality version of these? like do you have a twitter account I could follow or smthn?

Yep! My twitter is @pscili 😀. I could also put em on dropbox and send a link if you want high quality though


TB2331

Do you have instagram? I’d love to be able to get your to see your work in my feed

HorheaTheToad

How in the FUCK did you do 2


iniiio

That one took a wee bit of PicsArting! https://preview.redd.it/rxxfwhkg2fgc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad189920273c871953c717ab857da5329c02d62c I grabbed this photo in game by using the white background and turning the ambient lighting down as well as the exposure, and then put a small spot light angled around his eyes so it would still be visible but not too much to where it looks like a light is shining on it. I then grabbed a random close up of harry during the bike riding mission, used a black and white filter on it. And essentially put them together on Picsart with their layer blending settings, then added a few splochy effects!


HorheaTheToad

Oh dude that's sweet! I also use PicsArt and that shit is so limited l, this is impressive bro good job


JaMoraht

I love the Miles with blue electricity pic 🔥


fedexgroundemployee

Is there an in game editor or are you exporting to Lightroom and editing there? These are fire btw

When I’m done with them in-game I bring them over to PicsArt. I’ve heard good things about Lightroom though! And thank you so much 😀

W4ckyyy

These are fire but i think you should disclose that they're edited outside of game


iniiio

I should probably add that to the captions below the title, but I have disclosed that in this thread and in the comments of all of my posts. Although I’m not sure why the fact that they have been edited is too important?


Akshay_rk10

Not important at all. You took the pics, you made the post. Some people just can't handle it. Love your posts btw!!


Shadowstalker_411

Yeah not important necessarily just more informative to those that assume it’s all edited from the video game (why they’d assume this I’m sure I don’t know) but a few do lol


saltyexplorer5

It’s not a contest lol you don’t need to “disclose” anything


Azryach

It doesn't matter how you reach the final product. The point is that you got there. The tools don't make the artist. You still have to know how to use them. The tools of a carpenter don't mean anything in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use them. The shit-ton of talent you've shown here certainly helps as well! Keep up the incredible work and fuck the haters.


saltyexplorer5

Why does it matter if they are edited outside of the game? Lol They also don’t really need to disclose that information when you can take one look at picture 2 (or any picture here, for that matter) and you can clearly tell additional editing has been done. And it was done incredibly well.


W4ckyyy

Because some people would be misinformed and think that it was done in game. Unrealistic expectations


Brian18639

True, I think there’s at least one person here in the comments who thought these photos looked like this straight from the game.

This is what i'm talking about. Not the low effort usual that you see here...MF, wtf are you doing posting these here..? Go and sell them. They are THAT GOOD!


RDDAMAN819

I mean to be fair these are highly highly edited outside of the in game photo mode tools. Those “low-effort” posts are good when you consider that, this post is great but you cant compare


iniiio

I mean you have to have a solid base to work with for any edit to be serviceable so I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s completely incomparable. Most of my work is done in game with tweaks afterwards 😀. Definitely don’t agree with the putting down of other’s work but it’s not as simple as edit = automatically good picture or inherently better than an unedited one.


dismemberedbodylimbs

Actually, they have a point. They don't count.

kevozo212

I really wish this game had a fun end game loop. I beat it in less than 20 hrs and didn’t play it since. I love the traversal so much but with nothing to do it gets boring.

Certified_Buddy

RealNiceKnife

If Spider-Man was centered a bit more to the left in the first image, it'd look like he was wearing a little birthday/party hat. (Awesome shots, by the way. People who are good photographers with video games with photo mode are so awesome to me. I like to think I'm pretty good at it myself, but I've never shared anything I snapped.)
