Mayor Tydaze welcomes you to Oasis!

Dream Address: 5B00-002B-8BBE

This town thrives on the banks of a life-giving river which flows through the middle of a vast, scorching desert. Explore ancient ruins, and ponder the mysteries of the past. There are some who believe these wonders are not of this world… When you tire from the heat, cool off at the mayor’s home with indoor amusements.

cedarsprout’s guide to editing photos

yay. since i’m getting a lot of asks about how i edit photos i thought i’d do a little tutorial thing. 

i’m gonna be using this screenshot:

i know a lot of people use miiverse to take screenshots but that process is too long for me and i’m lazy so i just say whatever and use the L & R buttons on my DS and inject the SD card into my laptop. tbh i could never tell a difference anyways.

the first thing i do is go to waifu2x and enlarge & reduce the noise with the settings for noise reduction on high and upscaling on 1.6x. you can do upscaling to 2x, personally i feel like it’s easier to point out mistakes on a bigger picture so i stick with 1.6. though 2x is good if you wanna close crop the photo.

after that you press submit and it’ll open up in another tab with your edited photo. instead of saving it i drag it straight into photoshop from the browser window. so now i’ve got a screen that looks like this, and a slightly lumpy enlarged screenshot.

now it’s time for more noise reduction! waifu2x does a good job smoothing things out but it leaves it really lumpy so to counteract that i reduce the noise even more in photoshop to make it not look so awkward.

those are the general settings i use for noise reduction. depending on the screenshot i’ll adjust them until i think that it gets rid of any weird imperfections without losing detail.

after that i use these super cool adjustments on the side to get the desired color editing that i want done:

the ones i use most are brightness/contrast, curves, exposure, and photo filter to add an orangey tint. finally i add a grain filter to give the screenshot a lil more texture. so that is under the filter tab, to filter gallery. i believe grain is under the texture category all the way at the bottom. and these are the settings i use: 

yay after that i have a rly cute screenshot. now you save it (i use png file format) and upload <3

I regularly get asked for the QR codes of the stepping stone path I use in my ACNL town, so here are all the seasonal versions I had handy for those that would like them.

A few caveats for people interested in using these QR codes:

These do not correspond to a full year of grass color changes. If I remember correctly: “spring” matches April 1st-July 5th (with a special cherry blossom version for April 1st-10th), “fall” matches November 2nd-17th, and “winter” matches December 11th-February 24th.

Because the color of the grass can change dramatically during different times of the day/weather conditions, these paths will only fully match some of the time. I edit the pallet of my patterns to get better matches when I take screenshots or update my dream town, but for someone using a QR code made by a different person this is not an option. Be aware!

EDIT: I made some more seasonal variations of this path covering summer, mid-September, and early fall, check them out in this post!

I found this guide and it’s really helpful if you want certain items!

[michelle-bites]

I’ve done some time traveling and made some variations of my moon and star stone paths to match different times during the fall! 

The top one matches between September 8th - 15th, the second one is early fall which matches between September 16th - October 16th, the third one matches between November 2nd - 17th, and the bottom one matches during late fall.
