Controversial Chip & Poker Opinions (6 Viewers)

The over-editing of pics needs to stop. Boosting the saturation or whatever else may look good to your eyes if your eyes are a bit off, but come on. It looks silly; let the chips and lighting do the talking. The Windwalker Pron thread drawing to a halt should've been the end of it :LOL: :laugh:
I went on a whole campaign of saturation awareness when that was going on.

Case in point

Happy to help anyone w/ that via PM (if they promise to stop the aforementioned).
Idk. Sometimes it is warranted.

Is a much better representation than this shitty photo my iPhone took

I know I’ve seen this one before, I was reluctant to agree but now I’m a believer. You should divert you attention away from chip purchases until you have a nice table and chairs. Debuted my new table last night, all agreed they would play with dice chips as long as the table and gasser chairs were there.

Fixed it for you.

Is there any flex at the rail when folk lean on it, or is it solid? What do you think of the foot rail? If I get a place big enough for a dedicated spot, would defo consider this.

This is in general for PCF, not you specifically, but maybe a tad to help compensate a little could be understandable, but images are just very unnatural and apparent when boosted, especially if we know what the chips actually look like. If people just quickly wipe their lens, use some indirect sunlight in addition to regular lighting, don't let their shadow get in the way, and then upload via Imgur, it will be better 100% of the time. If someone can't Imgur and it comes out very drab where they absolutely hate the look, then I guess maybe 1-2 brightness/saturation at most can help compensate the base level to look normal, but the line between normal and obnoxious is very thin. Not to mention it's quite obvious when someone shoots past trying to simply get it to look like it does in person.

Agree. But again, perfect example, up top the 1st photo is “enhanced” but totally looks accurate.

But also still agree with your comment. Blaze is usually the biggest culprit that looks hilarious when enhanced.

Can we get an example (and before anyone posts my photos just know I don’t even know how to change the saturation - but I am really bad at taking photos).
 
yeah that looks a bit silly.

But is this a widespread problem?

I don’t see it, but I’m very bad with these types of things.
 
Example with blaze saturation:

Obviously the saturated one looks like crap but the other 2 are extremely similar.

What I think is hilarious is you think people will use Imgur when they can't even load more than a thumbnail 🤣

Phone's software also plays a huge roll in people's pics. I can usually spot an iPhone pic vs an android

Imgur helps with resolution which is very helpful for close-ups. I personally do appreciate the effort that people take for photos. The saturated ones are just awful though. If your yellow starts to have an orange tint, that's when we have a problem!

Table is very solid and substantial. Foot rail is functional and comfy. A month in and I’m happy with my choices. My guys love it too, it’s a big hit.
