Title: [GUIDE] Easiest way to edit screens
Post by: Bundy on August 15, 2015, 04:26:56 pm
I noticed more and more people are interested in posting pictures and ask me how I edit mine, given that there are no guides on how to edit pictures I figured I could post a quick guide - the easiest way for a great result. Enjoy.


1) Download Chatlogarchiver, saves all your chatlogs, dont forget to read the README (LINK: http://www.upload.ee/files/4863747/ChatlogArchiver.zip.html)
2) Download Photoscape (google it)
3) Go ingame, press F7 twice and take a good angle. Press F8.
5) Open the picture in Photoscape (editor function), press the crop button. Use the ''assign ratio/size'' function - I recommend 1024x500 as size. Press the home button, add a border in the 'margin' function, 1 or 2px would do the job.
6) Go to http://www.pixlr.com/editor
7) Open the photo you cropped with Photoscape, add text from the chatlog to it (my documents>sa userfiles>samp>chatlogarchiver), give it the color of the ig chatlogs (hexcode: c1a5d9), give it size 13 and choose the font Verdana. On the right, press RMB on your layer and choose 'Layer style', press Glow outline, color: black, hardness level 10, size 4.
8) Save the picture on your desktop and throw it in http://www.imgur.com
9) ENJOY SIRE

As for the font, style, size etc. these are all personal preferences, feel free to play around with the settings you might even get a better result, who knows? ;}}}

A video that explains the pixlr part, considering this is the hardest part:

P.S. ''omg takes too much time, not gonna do this'' - trust me, once you get the hang of this you'll be editing your pics in a matter of minutes and the result is definitely worth every minute.

It really is easy after doing it two or three times.

Yeah, but I doubt everyone is willing to download Photoshop. . . .
