Okay.
People complaining about photo editing. Where shall I begin?
Well, first off, everyone seems to complain that if you edit the photos, you can't see the project. Now, I'm not sure how good you peoples eyesight is, but I can see the projects perfectly fine in these photos. Here's a tip for seeing the projects.
1. Look at centre of the picture.
2. See project made out of blocks.
3.????
4.PROFIT.
Now, the reason why people make a fanceh banner for their projects is because it's eye catching.
EX.
Doesn't the edited photo look more eye catching and interesting than the normal one? That's how advertising works. The companies with the interesting and colourful advertisements get more customers and business than those with less interesting advertisements.
Last off, to the people complaining that it's not fair that some people get fanceh banners and they don't, get over it. Life isn't fair. Go download gimp or buy Photoshop and make your own pictures.

Well, I guess that gets me down to the root of my question. As I stated, I've been working on a custom terrain map, and I'm hoping to, shall we say, spruce up the banner I use to advertise the project. As I also stated, I am inexperienced in this, how should I put this, line of work. If anyone could guide me on how to enhance the banner I create (I have Gimp 2, paint.net, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0), It would be very much appreciated. I'd personally prefer to use Gimp, but I do have minimal experience with the use of Photoshop.
Once again, any help I could get on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me any pointers (or, even better, a tutorial :P).
I'm going to tell you how to do it in photoshop, because I think it's the better software and I'm more skilled with it: the "enhance" menu, the undo button, and lots and lots of experimentation are your friends here. Play with the levels, contrast, color concentration... and know that if you dislike something, you can always undo it. You'll know it's good when it looks good to you. You can also play around with the blur/smudge/sharpen tool, in case things look to sharp, or to blur the edges of the photo and put emphasis on the center of it.
For the final touch, use a cool font (although not too flashy; still readable) and write the name of your project or something. This should be in blank space, not covering any important aspects of your project, and be careful that it's readable and doesn't contrast badly with the background. If you need a custom font, there's a good website called "Dafont.com". If you still want to add more, in the text menu, there should be an option which lets you add special effects to your text, I like to emboss it or something like that.
That's really all you need. If you add more, you're probably going overboard, but just use your better judgement. Also, make sure you take the best shots in game, before editing, too. Click F1 (?) to hide the GUI, and depending on the project, it might look cool to get a sunrise/sunset shot.
oh and nice blog btw nick XD
I agree by the way.
