Outtakes, Vol. 1

I take pictures in The Sims 2 via the "Print Screen" button on my keyboard, and not the in-game picture taking feature. I have the Dropbox desktop app installed on my computer, and it has an option to automatically "Share screenshots", which means that any screenshots I take using the "Print Screen" button get converted into a PNG file that's uploaded to my Dropbox. This allows me to take multiple pictures consecutively without having to worry about pasting it into an image editing program later. I use Paint.NET to edit my image files.

Why am I mentioning all of this? Well, at the end of the day, while going through the screenshots I take, I generally edit the ones I want to include in my posts and ignore the rest. Out of the ones I select, I may exclude a few more at the last minute. This means that I generally wind up with a number of screenshots that go unused. Some of them are just crap, but others aren't too bad. I'm not exactly one who likes to throw away things (It's hard for me to let go), so I upload all of the screenshots from my Dropbox — including the ones I used — into Google Photos, which offers unlimited storage at slightly (but not noticeably) reduced quality. That's fine for me, if it means that one day I can look through my old screenshots, see one that wasn't too bad, and say "Hey, that's pretty good! I should share that!"

Well, today, I did a little bit of that. I went through my Google Photos folder, selected some screenshots that I took while making this thread but didn't use, processed and edited them, and here they are! Not all outtakes are here, only the ones I found... "more interesting".
