    Virtual balloons.

    balloons are meant to be a rare commodity, saturating the market by giving out 5 balloons to every one who voted for you devalues them. You should only give them out for special reasons, voting in a screenshot competition is not a special reason.
    I propose appointing a commotion to regulate the balloon industry.

    I think there should be much more strict that photoshop is not allowed
    --says the guy who sucks at photoshop.

    In all seriousness, I used to think the same thing before I learnt how to edit images. I soon discovered that the more subtle the changes, the more broad an appeal they have (in general). From my experience, the best PSed screen shots don't fundamentally change the original image, they just remove graphics/computer related ugliness (jagged lines, poor lighting, etc.) and enhance the features already present. Think of a babe from the babe thread--I dislike those made of silicon or those wearing excessive mascara. A little something to enhance what's already there is always nice tho, and in regards to a more mature lady it doesn't hurt to smooth out a few wrinkles. Photoshop evens the playing field for people with crappy computers.

    Maybe I'm missing something but why are the winners no longer being added to the photo gallery on the website? Wasn't one of the original purposes of this competition was to highlight the changes made by EB. The first 6 winning picture made it on the website but then no more were included, I would be interested in seeing them all there, unless there is a bandwith issue that is stopping EB from including more images.
    I agree, especially now that I've won one.

    They can probably only really use non-photoshopped screenshots.
    There are some good photoshopped ones too.

    My point was photoshopped screenshots aren't a good representation of the mod. Imagine the "why aren't my graphics as good as the screenshots?" threads.

    I allways think about that. We need to be in a place between having game-graphics screenshots and edited screenshots. But anyway I think everybody photoshop them way too much. And the crop them to small squeares too.

    You didn't win the competition - yet. As we say in Russia, let's not divide the skin of a bear that has yet to be killed. Although it is very likely that you'll win.

    Quite possible the reason why the winning pictures are not posted on the EB website is because they are photoshopped. The pictures on the websites are supposed to be clear and frank representations of the EB graphics. To photoshop them would be against all ethics (although not against the law as it is with real game developers - EB is a non-commercial modification). However, I am not saying that people should not edit pictures. On the contrary, I have mentioned it a couple of times on this and on the previous threads that an edited picture is the best one, with the most votes.

    In the Netherlands that becomes "let's not sell the skin of the bear before it has been shot."
