>>/2481/ alright I think I should explain a bit the process behind this sorcery. However, it´s barely sorcery and more like subtly hiding the parts that could reveal the illusion one would try to convey. Unlike Photoshop in which you would add just a simple filter or a couple of clicks, this one plays with the options I have been using all the time. The first picture basically consists in making the bubbles disappear with the flaws option, so there are no contours nor any sign that they are in the original ambient. However, that doesn´t mean the job was done with just that. Water can have (sometimes does) the lightning of earthly places if there is enough illumination. The most important aspects here are brightness, contrast, a bit of attenuation and paying attention to the shadows. Balancing them fakes the sense that the light doesn´t come from above but that it´s simply covered by fake objects. So, making their bodies more vibrant gives the sense that there is no medium save the usual one (air) By using the flawed effect very subtly, I have created circles and some kind of forms with the green color and let unedited the shadows from both sides in the upper part. The green light could be explained because of the reflection from the tress that are covering the sun. The rock becomes a trunk while editing the brightness and coloring, so do the manes from both ponies. The most fortunate aspect from this picture is that the stallion could be just simply jumping of love onto the mare because they are not that far from the ground. So the floating on air low point is covered as well. The inflated cheeks could also reveal it but having them in a romantic moment, they confuse the viewer so he think that they are just in love (it was a very useful means to an end) The only thing that I do with the PC is intensifying the shadows from the trunks and adding more definition and a bit of clarity (among other experiments). The main objective was that, using all the tools to create a fake atmosphere. The cherry on top of the cake was that you preferred the cut version (and I encouraged that subtly with picky words). That comment basically solved and a really adequate cover story for the actual objective so the focus was only for them, so the possible lightning problems to point out are gone. Leakers of any video game would use cheap tricks to gain a few clicks and replies (/v/ shitposters for example) and add blurriness, copypasted images and so on. I had the intention to add more blurriness to cover it at first, but I managed to find a way without using the flawed effect much save for subtle details and thankfully, it barely affects the ponies and the image looks as simple as the original one. As if I have barely edited anything over it yet I had to be careful with certain adjustments and not mess it up.
