Such a moron.

Somehow, after spending two days (non-consecutively) setting up a picture EXACTLY AS I WANTED IT, I managed to take it with a glaring error.

SEE?! SEE THE GLOWING WALL?! &*$#%!%#



In the course of trying to replicate it, I did get a few other shots I liked, and thought I'd share without spamming GoS's picture board. As usual, it appears that set building is my strong point, and that I must lurk moar in discussions of sim posing.

There probably ought to be a couple more pictures here to complete whatever lame story I was trying to tell, but I went back to trying to recreate the original pose at this point.

For those that are interested, the sims in question are Kate and Blaze, the main couple from a story my best friend and I have been working on on and off since sixth grade. I don't believe this little shoot is canon. Though, as undefined as The Story is at present, it very well could be.



Aaaand finally, after two more hours of fussing with the sims and trying to recreate the original pose, I gave up, booted up Photoshop, and proceeded to give it a half-assed repair. The results are visible but tolerable, and I saved a layer-separated version in case I feel like going back and dicking with it some more.

Never again will I push Print Screen without first checking to make absolutely sure nothing is highlighted. This isn't the first time this has happened, sadly.

I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything. xD
And I think your posing is great. I'm terrible at it myself. D:

Lol, I wouldn't have noticed either. In fact, it took me a couple seconds of staring before I even found the problem, I thought it was supposed to be like that. The photoshopped version looks seamless to me, but that might just be because this comp has a really dark monitor.

I didn't notice until I had posted it in Professional Pics, so I guess it's not that noticeable, but it was driving me nuts xD Thank you, guys!

I've never actually had anything highlighted when I've taken a picture (I'm pretty good at catching that), but I've had an issue where, despite being in camera-mode, the FUCKING bar... info... dealie thing... shows up in the picture anyway. Then, of course, I don't notice until after I've shut my game down...

o.o I've never had that happen, thankfully, but when I was first taking pictures and feeling my way around freehand mode, I constantly forgot to either switch to the save menu or click on another sim so I wouldn't get the pose box/animation painting showing up in the corner.

And yeah. Somehow, I'd never notice until I'd turned off the game.
