Interesting challenge by a Reddit blogger who wanted a screenshot from the Nier game turned into a wallpaper. Problem was that the image is a snapshot of a video interlude and has darker frame edges to top and bottom. So how did I do it ? First I captured the very image from a video that the person wanted , which wasn't easy, and then transferred to the Win7 machine using USB stick and opened Photoshop. Nier Automata - Photoshop Tutorial. This is the snapshot from the PS4. First I select the parts that I will edit. These then become layers that I can edit. I then use levels to adjust the image intensity. Next I tidy up image joins from levels. Note the horizontal slicing from line merge. I use a paste brush to iron out the lines. I check the image for layer splice lines. I also check for differences in shading. I have already desaturated the fully merged image. All layers are merged and made the same palette. Time to take out that nasty dead space on the level histogram to the left. This makes the image darker and more intense. And here is the finished picture. And here is the original. And a more grey PNG version. This reflects more accurately the original colour palette.
