This is not an ordinary update, as you might have noticed. Briefly, my idea was to
see if the game still lives up to its 2006 award for Best PS2 Simulation. So, I took
the liberty and made a comparative lap around Circuit de Valencia. This my first
ever attempt at it and there a few noticeable differences during the lap.
Wolfee666 brought the possibility of panorama pictures in Tourist Trophy to my attention earlier. And giving it a quick attempt, I got it right, at last. The teaser below is my first proper ''panorama'' picture ever and an example of what to expect of my upcoming set.
That's about either 5, 6 or 7 9 pictures. I honestly can't remember besides that it isn't the most optimal spot for a panorama shot. I'm currently merging (using photomerge in Adobe Photoshop CS3) between 9 and 12 pictures for each one to get that proper panorama/widescreen look.
These are my first ever proper attempts at panorama pictures, let alone in Tourist Trophy. The pictures are resized (down from 4500-5000+ pixels in width) to fit the forum and for your convenience. Any sort of feedback is welcome.
FANTASTIC...!!! Hyland that is a work of genius,great work,I dont have photoshop I just use paint.net which is good enough for me..but what you have done is brilliant
My PS2 is at last back in my possession and was about time I dusted off my copy of Tourist Trophy. A bit rusty with the photomode after the hiatus, but I hope they turned out alright nevertheless.
Besides resizing the pictures and adjusting the brightness as well the contrast in photoshop (since they vary most of the time, either being too dark or too bright in comparison to what I'm seeing on the TV screen), I don't touch them up in any other way.
