Hi all! I've been working on a wallpaper series based on the game Half-Life 2. I've gotten the first wallpaper done and would like some input! For those of you who aren't familiar with the game, I've included the before and after images so you can compare.

Images are too big to attach here so I've provided a link to them in my dropbox.

After - http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/527849/castigation_wallpaper_1440x900.jpg

That looks great!

One thing I notice severely is the posterization on the tones on the walls. That may be due to pushing the levels command too far for a 8Bit image, resulting in the loss of hue.

Well, I don't see any posterization going on. Hm..

Actually, my mistake.
After comparing closely with the first image, the posterized tones were exhibited on the before image as well. It must have been the rendition done by the graphics card. What lead me to notice it more vividly was the contrast that brought it out.

Yeah, that's probably a good assessment. I wish I had a better graphics card.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

Cool. minor changes can be the best thing to do with this sort of picture.
