Not sure what your suggesting but can't just grab the screenshot and resize via whatever image editing program as you won't be comparing the actual downsampling result.

True!
Not only that but he is also reducing the image quality. Mine are RAW images not been messed with.

Well you can see from my 2 images that resizing without losing quality is showing the enhancements our eyes see. Look at the grass in my images for example.

With the way Shanks is doing it, you are just scrolling around the screen and seeing it as if it was at 1080P but you can't see the whole image at once, so all the downsampling is lost.

Nice.
Any good?

If you like adventure games it is but for looks, not much comes close and a real beaut of a game (and not demanding either).

Edit:

Shanks, post how you like, I don't care.

And the images Shanks are showing aren't comparing downsampling results either.

When they're in tabs they are, but only then.

So, you believe the two images you're showing in the spoilers show downsampling? Nope they don't.

When they're in tabs they are.

So no, I'm not in the wrong.

Grabbing a screenshot the normal way just grabs the image as it would be rendered in a display that can do that true resolution none of the techniques that are used to preserve detail specific to DSR or VSR are in play until after that.

???? open them in new tabs and flick between them you see the effect very clear.

This is how I've always done it and it works fine for me, not sure why people are having difficulty. Different browsers?

No.
No one's having an issue seeing them in tabs.

Just the spoiler images are almost pointless as they don't actually show the down sampling.

You'd be rather better just having 2 links.

OMG!

Why do you think I said in my FIRST POST! open in new TABS to see the effect..

WOW!
Its taking how meny post now for it to sink into your head?

Whats hard about saving two original pics and using windows photo viewer in FS and flicking between them?

We're not actually on about the same thing are we? Not "Technically"

I'm not sure how to respond to this.
I knew how to see your images, I'm just saying, and keep saying. Your images in the spoiler do not show an example of down sampling.

You're just being childish.

When the image is being downsampled, you can clearly see that edges are smother, it doesn't make your monitor suddenly get bigger, it squashes the image to fit your resolution (so in my case, it squashes it down from 5120x2880). When I had a 4K monitor, I made the mistake of grabbing images and then posting the raw file and people were just saying "It is big and nothing stands out", so from those replies, I then resized the images without losing quality and that showed a better image that fits into a 1080P screen. a 4K image would fit into 4 1080P screens but wouldn't look as sharp as it does on a single screen.

Also, I could be wrong, but rroff is on about the post processing.

If you're viewing an image that's too large in the browser the browser may be doing the downsampling. On a higher resolution image, that will obviously look better ... but you're still not showing the actual downsampling the user sees.

To do it correctly you need to get screenshots with e.g. Fraps or MSI Afterburner, and not the game engine itself.

Get it!
Boy that was so hard.

Another reason why you shouldn't edit the raw image is because photo editing software will also add in there own effects like sharpening the image etc...
