Posting dark pictures...

Hi!

I find it a commom problem when people post screenshots that they are dark, on the verge of pitch black.

All screeenshots taken in MOHAA will not contain the "brightness setting", and will often be to dark to view without brightening a bit...

So all screen posters: brighten up!

An example: Gandalf has not edited his screenshots, I have: ( No offence G :wink: ) /forum/viewtopic.php?p=18452

PS: I use the edit commands in the picture viewer "ACDSee" to edit the contrast/brightness of my screens

Yes I increased brightness too for all screenshots in all of my map reviews.

Overall I think mohaa is too dark, at r_gamma 1.0 you can't see anything.

I always increase the gamma of any screenshots I take in game. I have noticed what you said, though. A lot of people must either be too lazy to increase the gamma themselves or they have their windows brightness up higher than the default.
