Dev update #30 - Nice

Added 2021-07-31 16:04:23 +0000 UTC

Hey hey folks, how's life?
Was postworking some of the older images from over a year ago ... unbelievable that this VN already exists for that long and still will grow in the future, right?
Want to show you the difference between the old images and the new ones. Unfortunaetly it bumped up the size of them too so you can expect the next update to be bigger.

Postwork changed a lot in that time. At first it was very simple by adjusting contrast and then changing the levels of shadows and contrast in PS. Then as I watched more tutorials abt Image manipulation the process got way more refined and also learned how to setup a batch action so the images didn't had to get postworked one after another.

Anyway, let me show you the results.
(Changes are best seen if you view the images in fullscreen)

Example#1

You see that Zandra's eyes got more emphasis and the screens in the background became much sharper than the original one.

Example #2

Cary-June's figure and shadows are a bit murky in the original but after postwork she gets a much needed clarity. And her jewelry gets more bling-y.

Example #3

You can see how postwork brings out more of the hair strands in this one. Also her lip glossiness looks better and you can see more pores on her skin. Maybe the postwork was a bit too much on her ...

Example #4

A more complex scene with more lights and shadows. The light reflections on the walls get way more pronounced than in the original. And the rim lights on MC's legs give him a better contour and lets him stand out more.

I love the new clarity of the postworked images in 90% of the time. There are some where it goes a bit overboard but that may be a question of the own preferences.

What do you think?
