Not bad Genosha, not bad.
However, I would suggest that you go through the "Guild Wars" layer again and remove all of the black background from where you pulled that from, since it's easily visible as of now, especially on the lighter colored shots.

Thanks for the idea I'll work on that. I'm okay with photoshop, but i'll see what I can do....

Did you use the Background eraser when you went through it, or did you try to do it by hand? It took me a while to figure out what everything did, and I can help if you'd like, though I'm definitely no expert in anybody's book.

I really love how it's just scenic shots without all of the character on it and all the nasty interface. It really shows the true beauty of the world Arena Net put together.
I was also wondering, this may have just been my computer but I had inconsistencies in removing the interface. Can someone tell me once and for all what the key combo is to take a scshot w/o the interface?

Shift + Print Screen worked every time for me Jack. I'm pretty sure that's what I said during the event as well

William the Silent
Yeah but I remembered toggling with that and ctrl and a bunch of others and sometimes I would get the interface and sometimes I wouldn't.
Since you apparently seem confident that it's shift I'll try that out again next BWE and if it doesn't work at least I'll know it's on my end not the game's end.

I did it by hand. It was kinda annoying, but when I put my mind to thing I can accomplish anything.... There is a lot I don't know but time is my limiter...

I hated that. Ctrl is just to close to shift for it's own good. Specially when time is short. So I wasn't the only one that had the problem with the UI being in the picture....

But yeah, if you ever have a solid background like that and the image you want is off a totally different, unrelated color, than just try Background Eraser, it'll make your life much easier, even if you have the motivation to erase all of the background by hand.
If you're cutting out characters from backgrounds, then you'll want to go with Magnetic Lasso, just for future reference. A little tricky to handle, but it works wonders on time saving...

You might find this funny, but the 1st dozen pics were cropped the best I could from pics that had my UI in them... They were from the Feb. BWE and took me way to much time trying to edit them..... I'll put one of my original and the edit together so you can check it out....
William of Orange
I'm assuming the ones that had the interface in them are the ones with the gray-greenish borders on the outside? I hadn't really thought about it before, but now that you mentioned that, it would make sense. I made the same mistake of leaving the interface in a few times, I ended up just deleting those pictures though and taking some new ones at our Guild Hall, which turned out much nicer than any of the old ones had been.
William the Silent
Yeah, I still have some fairly nice ones with interface so I might just have Orange or maybe me if I have some free time putz around with those and alter it to get a nice polished look on them.
Genosha
The update is in there
Dead due to Imageshack...
And not all with the border have UI in it. I decided to be a little creative and add the border if you look at the file name (gwe_a0003a.jpg) there is a core file (gwe_a0003.jpg) on my HD. 100Gig drive and 75% is video editing and Images which I do for fun....

Temp Pull of pics. Looking for another sever my personal site hit bandwidth quota with 3500 hits... I was not expecting this....Oh well Time for looking for another server to host..... Any recomendations...?
With big bandwidth....

Genosha
It took a little time, but I got all of them up and running. If anyone wants some screenshots, Trimmed & Guildwars on it like mine just drop a message.
Dead do to Imageshack...
If you wish to use these images on a website please ask first. If you are using them for your computer, Cellphone, PDA, etc. as a wallpaper feel free.

If you need better hosting at some point I could try to use my Comcrap acct. It can be a little slow sometimes, but it's probably as fast as ImageShack. I can run it through Photoshop web gallery creator and post it on one of my PWP accounts.
DO NOT JUMP ALL OVER ME ASKING FOR HOSTING! Maybe if you ask politely, but I only get 27MB per PWP account, and I own 3 of the 6 allowed on the main account, so it's not like I have an unlimited supply of space. Good thing is that there is no single file size limit, so you could have a 27MB file on the account (not like I'd upload that much crap

Thanks, but no thanks I'll give Imageshack a try for a while and see what happens. At least they are running there servers on the second most reliable NOS servers in the world....

Thanks these are really good.

Those are great, thanks.

Oh man, they'd be awsome, but I HATE the advertisement of GUILD wars across it

I took this one during some quest near the pockmark flats:

I removed my links because Imageshack lost 50% of my images...
