Post images/concepts/ideas for images here before placing them on VFP or if you just want some advice on how to make them better.

Use {{reef|filename.ext|width in pixels|image name|caption|artist's username}}. Make sure you sign your comments with ~~~~.

  • Since some of the images on VFP are becoming of such low quality, it is proposed that this page be the equivalent of Pee Review for pictures.
  • If you think an image is good enough for VFP but needs some improvements or you simply want some advice on images, post them here and anyone who can be bothered will add some comments for improvement etc.
  • In general, follow VFP Guidelines before posting here. However we are not that bothered: one of the purposes of this page is to advise on suitability for VFP.
  • Please read HowTo:Get Your Image Featured before nominating your own image.
  • Also it would help if you suggest whether you plan to ultimately place the image on VFP.


Pro Tips[edit source]

A simple procedure for producing professional quality composite images;-

  • Goodsearch...image...search
  • Get the GIMP. Like MSPaint, it's free. Unlike MSPaint, it doesn't suck.
  • Get a graphics tablet. 6"x9" tablets go for $100 and up. You wouldn't write a novel with a mouse, why would you draw a picture with one? A hundred bucks will save you hours of fighting poor ergonomics (mouse bad, pen good). Your wrist and fingers will thank you.
  • Use the highest-res source images that you can find. A 1000x1000 image eats RAM, but the end result will be superior to the same 'chop with 200x200 pixel source images.
  • Increase the size of your picture to 400% while working on it (if high-res source images aren't available).
  • Save often. Or, to put it another way, save often.
  • Always paste into an empty layer so you can tint and fade that layer to match the original.
  • Lowering the contrast can help blend the two layers.
  • Use an eraser set to low opacity to fade out the hard edges of anything you paste (dont over do it).
  • When you're happy with how it looks, collapse the layers, and add your new pic as a new layer over the original one, then use an eraser (set to low opacity) to rub out the top layer to reveal your modifications (This helps to blend the two pics).
  • Simple colors modifications can be done this way too (B&W etc).
  • When you're happy with how it looks, collapse the layers for the "final" version (be sure to save both a one layer image, for uploading to Uncyc, and a layered image, so that you don't have to start all over if you need to tweak it).
  • Use a despeckle/salt and pepper filter to pick out any hot pixels.
  • Sometimes a very small amount of blur works well at this point.
  • Reduce your pic to 400-600px (large enough, but not stupidly big). Don't save as GIF unless you really have to. GIFs sucks. JPG is better, but can suffer from bleeding/pixelation on high contrast areas. PNG is best. This is why no one ever uses that format.

Dude, you always fucking do this. RD is for getting help with your own images (as in you chopped them yourself) specifically if you think you want to nominate that image for VFP.

Please help out by:

  • Reading the replies to your comments
  • Doing what those replies tell you to do
  • Perhaps contacting the originator of the image

Generally i'm a pretty cool guy, i don't mind when people want to improve upon my ideas, i actually welcome it with open arms, just let me know you're doing it, you don't even need permission, just post a little "yo i thought your image could use a touch-up so i did". I'm pretty sure most people here wouldn't mind it either, and if they do, they'll do something about it after the fact. Personally, i think you should:

  • Stop asking people to edit other people's images with your vague "ideas"
  • Learn how to use GIMP
  • Put on your big girl panties and do things yourself


There's nothing wrong with wanting to help out, but if you're asked to do things properly, you probably should. I'm not some sort of Uncyclopedia big wig (far from it), i'm just some stranger on the internet, and normally i don't bother with speaking my mind so bluntly when i know it will fall on deaf ears. However, if even one bullet point makes it through to you, i feel like i've left the world (uncyclopedia to be specific) in a better place then i've found it.-- 21:53, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

I've uploaded the kmz file to google 3D Warehouse. I also have an .skp or .dae of it on my pc. File:UnNews microphone and gavel.png also needs a little tidying up. Basically just trying to get it to look a little more professional. (The gavel I stole from 3D warehouse as well. A better 3D model would be welcome here.) Nominally Humane! 12:24 02 Apr

You're trying to make it look a little more what?! (I don't know if this will help, and it might or might not depending on whether the jaggy is the model or the renderer, but try rendering at a higher resolution, then lowering said resolution in GIMP or whatever) Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 06:17, April 2, 2012 (UTC)
The images are already at a higher res than I really need. I'm thinking of smoothing bits out with GIMP if all else fails, but if someone has a better renderer that would be a cleaner way to do this. (It's just that damn top edge pixellation that's bugging me. That, and the texture on the gavel I'm not overly happy about. Basically open for anyone to do what they can, and if they can't, then it's back to excessive tweaking.) Nominally Humane! 07:48 02 Apr
What I mean is that a higher res render would still have the same sized jaggies as the much smaller image above. Then, when shrunk in GIMP to the same resolution as the image above, those jaggies, in comparison to the image above, would be much smaller. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 08:18, April 2, 2012 (UTC)
I was stuffing around with that earlier (I tested 100px and the one uploaded here at 400px) and it didn't make that significant a difference. I'll try bumping it up to 1600px and see if that helps, but it takes ages to process it at that size. Nominally Humane! 09:26 02 Apr

Two things you're missing here. First of all, I used MS Paint to create that because I don't have Photoshop or anything like that, so I can't make anything look very nice (except Pokémon sprites). So I'm going to need someone to fix it up a little by making it transparent. Second of all, I gave you the original image (which might be useful here on Uncyclopedia, like what I'm doing here).

Two tools i think you need to look up. GIMP [[1]] and [Phoenix Editor]. The "I don't have Photoshop" excuse hasn't been valid for quite some time, the only excuse you would have now that you know about these two tools are "I'm too lazy to learn how to use GIMP" and "I'm too lazy to actually do any work, so here's my crappy idea, please make this image thanks". No offense to you dude, just might be good to look around for your options before shouting "I ONLY HAVE PAINT". It also might help if you read this article since it has a link right to GIMP in it, here's a link to that section. -- 01:08, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

The source images are very low quality - use larger images, cut them out at high resolution, and then scale down the result, and the result should look a lot cleaner.

This is a render of a model, yes? Thing is, it's too easy to tell. It appears to just be a cylinder, which, yes, is the logical base shape, but it needs more geometry at the ends. Look at the shape of an actual battery and round the edges a bit like that, and add the bumps and ridges at the end, especially the big button-like one, which right now just looks terribly wrong because it's apparently just a texture - those will work head on, or as details and whatnot, but they make no substitute for expected geometry when viewed at an angle such as this is.
Also, it's so... plain. Like a sketch, not a final render, you know? Default surfaces and lighting, no surroundings... batteries tend to be shiny, so why not use a blinn or something? Good renders also tend to have depth and surrounding - at least add an invisible plane so it can drop a shadow, or maybe put it on something specific, perhaps something that would make the joke clearer, as currently I have no idea what it's supposed to be save for perhaps some vague pun, and use some more dynamic lighting to get good shadows. You've seen how folks'll overdo that in advertisements and the like; it can look good, and it's also kind of inherently funny, so why not parody that?
Another thing is the textures themselves - the stars don't seem to be high enough resolution for the zoom and size of the render; I suspect you know how to fix that. But what of the stripes extending slightly past the stars on the near side, is that intentional? 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 14:26, 12 August 2011
The extension of the stripes was unintentional, but I actually liked the result with that The render was done using GIMP, as my 3D modelling is horrible. Hence the choice for the end of the battery being the "flat" end. Shadows are off on that end, which I could have rectified by some rotation before the render, but the software didn't give me much flexibility. But the idea was topical, hence this has been a little rushed. I can tidy up the image itself - have to eventually get over my reluctance to do decent 3D stuff - but as for the concept, nit the execution, thoughts? Pup 12:43 13 Aug '11
I really don't know what the concept is, sorry. O_o 1234 ~ 16px-Pointy.png 00:54, 13 August 2011

My $0.02? I think it needs, in very fine print, possibly where it currently says "do not dispose of in a fire", the words "Made in China". I (hope) i grasp the concept, and an overly patriotic AA battery needs to be made in china for it to really be american. I'd also add a second cylinder up front like a real battery so it looks a tad more realistic. Hit up google images for references photos of AA's, you might even want to abandon the render and edit one of the existing images there. -- 01:24, March 29, 2012 (UTC)
At the time I did this it was very timely. It's now a little old news, but I've also taught myself to work with better 3D image generators. If I did this again it would be a very different render that I did, and give a more 3D effect on the end. It's just a question of wether or not it's worth it now. (And it did have made in China on it but it wrapped around too far, and I figured it didn't make or break it enough to redo.) Nominally Humane! 02:04 29 Mar

  • What is this? -- The Zombiebaron 15:15, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
    • It's a spoof on this movie's poster. And while it's a good idea, it's poorly executed. The white space doesn't look good as a background, and if you're going to only have two, why is it off to the left? Why not have it more centered? I would suggest that you just use your own font in order to do that. Then, to get the lines, just use the rectangle select. That'll do for a start. --Wanna see a magic trick? 23:23, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
Made a (not terribly accurate) mockup to give you an idea of the adversary angle. Couldn't find the right sort of texture though, so it looks kinda off. Also, smurf women. Might want to fix that.
  • I second Magic man's suggestions. Particularly you'll want to have at least three entries and either clean up the font by hand or, better, come up with a good-enough substitute by shopping through fonts that look good in sans-serif caps (Arial Black's a half-decent ape for Windows). You might just want to start from the original poster again for this and just stretch the fonts over if you have something that handles layers well. I thought that the effect would be even greater if you were to, as in the original movie poster, match the bosses with pictures representative of users who would either loosely or realistically be or have (almost) been their nemeses/subjects of ridicule.


Contentwise, I'd also recommend making judicious use of the cast listings that accompany such "coming soon" posters. If you want to get fancy, you could conceivably put the image in a frame (and even then that in a photo scene) or fake lighting or something. --MEEPKUN VFH POTM VFP(IMAGESTALK) 03:13, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

  • Also, shouldn't Zombiebaron be the maneater? Seeing as he's a zombie and all. Maybe Lyrithya's corresponding nemesis could be something do do with VFD (Seeing as she deleted it once)? --Wanna see a magic trick? 05:03, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
    • Realistically, admins would all be the tool. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 08:11, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
      • Originally, I did want to include the third column, as well as the bottom panel, but it got so ridiculously messy I was forced to paint over most of the poster just to make it look even presentable. That's why I had to settle for two columns instead. Also, the reason I tagged Lyrithya as a maneater was because this term is usually used for females, which she is. I think MeepStarLives may have succeeded where I failed. Could we nom his version, or would even that require a bit of work? --Scofield & Dudes 12:42, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
        • Well I think Meep was just doing an example version. The last column doesn't make any sense, and the things in the bottom for the other two, don't correspond with the admins at the top; I think Meep just put random things down there. As for Lyrithya being the maneater, I get why you put her as maneater, I just think it would be funnier and more satirical to put Zombiebaron in that place. Also, while yes, Lyrithya is a maneater, Zombiebaron is not a psycho. But if you switch them around, the both work, because Lyrithya is a psycho, and Zombiebaron is a maneater. --Wanna see a magic trick? 15:19, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
          • LOL Magic man! But who oh who is the tool? --ShabiDOO 18:21, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
            • Roman Dog Bird? --Wanna see a magic trick? 22:04, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
            • Well, they weren't umm.. totally as unthinkingly placeholder as that. ZB's picture was set against one that I believe was from Kakun. I didn't come here much those days, but since Zombiebaron rules VFP with an iron fist and since Kakun had to get written up in Flammable's Office and submit to a separate VFP system for so many of his images failing (uh oh, I better watch out) I thought it was a bit of a fit considering the next two. I actually should have just put up a text image. Lyrithya's nemesis wasn't really at all either, although I think people might have thought there was some friction at the end, as the blue woman's picture was one of the last things Zana put up on her userpage before her recent departure. That third one's indeed RDB and the picture below his of Smurfette referred to a troll or family of trolls I personally watched hours of changelogs for as I believe RDB specifically and other admins reverted their edits. I remember a name that I can't actually type in because of the spam filter (in fact, the patriarch of The Smurfs) specifically, but I've seen quite a lot of Roman Dog Bird haters, page defacers, slanderers, and would-be intimidators, so he's an iconic admin in my book, and I'm sure the Smurfette could be subbed for any actual troll, unless there's some recent user to user thing I'm not clear on. --MEEPKUN VFH POTM VFP(IMAGESTALK) 10:11, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
