Post your DSR and VSR sreenshots here

This is wrong unfortunately, it'll grab a 3200x1800 pic of what you would have seen if it was not for the DSR process - which we've not applied. That's why it's not the same viewing it in a browser or editing the image in photoshop to the right resolution - it's the process of getting from 3200x1800 to 1080p that is the core of the tech and we can't see it. We need to capture the frame sent from the GPU to the monitor, not the one generated by the game engine.
Sure, browser-based resizing may give a rough approximation, as will gimp, photoshop etc, but they're not what you see on the screen - that's precisely what the rather lengthy argument is about.

Yeah, sorry. I basically meant what Tonester has said above.

Tells me you also don't read a post fully. Try opening them up in a new tab ;) you then see exactly what Greg done without any messing about with editing.

I happy to just use around 1440p me. Don't care for 4k don't have the rig for that.

Actually no, it isn't exactly the same as Gregs.

Which means you don't get it :p

OK, so if you open my full size image and also Greg's image he resized do you see any difference? Because they look exactly the same to me, only mine is done in less time no need to mess about editing the image.

Technically my bad sorry.

I can't even get VSR to work. When I selected the radio button and pressed apply it disappeared.

Not at all and we both tried to explain the best way of doing it and from the images I posted and the ones I did for Shankly, it shows quite fairly what it does and looks like. Sadly, I was told I am doing it wrong and to follow a complete PIA way of doing it. At least my way didn't require opening up in tab after tab and worked on the forum (as I intended).

Using the same screen cap, and using the same whatever to resize your image will give comparable results. It will show the effect DSR/VSR has. It might not be a 'true' result, but close.

Look at Greg's, big difference.

Yer, I am not sure on what the web browser loses or does to the image but looking at it in Chrome, the resized image is far superior to the 1080P bog standard image.

But if you start applying extra effects from photo editing software your then giving the wrong impression of the actual image. Let's say I edit a screenshot and start applying extra aa or improving the quality.

By what you saying applying extra sharpening to the image is adding in effects that wasn't there to begin with.

But that is what DSR is doing, it is also what firefox is doing, but not very well!

Just done this and looked at them for around 5 minutes. I can see no difference what so ever. Both ways of doing it show the difference between the normal and downsampled.

Chrome does a much better job than firefox but it still better to use PS/gimp and apply some sharpening.

OK sorry boss.. What's the point of this thread if we all can't see the effect so people keep saying.
Click to expand...

We can't see the exact effect but we can get a good approximation by downsampling the image in editing software and applying a little sharpening. That will give result very similar to what DSr/VSR does and the images will look similar on everyone's computer regardless of which browser they are using.

And like I just said, adding effects isn't the answer. How do we know if we adding too much sharpening? And over doing it well beyond what we had in game?
If that's the case why not just start also adding in extra AA to all our in game screenshots..
Or increasing the colour depth etc

All you doing is ending up with an image that was nothing like the in-game image.

It is not an effect, it is replicating accurately what DSR and VSR does!

DSR applies sharpening - when downsampling you always have to sharpen - when the internet browser downsamples it will also sharpen.

The mere fact that you are saving the image as jepg and displaying in a browser means a number of effects are happening which you have no control of. Adding sharping to a downscaled image is a standard and required step in the process, which is why the driver options for DSR allow you to configure the amount of sharpening.
