An important question: The pics will be automatically brightened or we have to set it ourselves???
It is important because in some TC pics I set more bright to get normal pics. But once uploaded they were +brightened again, so the final result was extra-brightened ugly pics.

Well even with my lame ass Geforce 4 mx card I'll still enter, I've beaten it about 5 times already and at race 90 in another file so I'll be able to enter a car prolly 2morrow, please don't down vote me for not having my car as shiny as others cuz of my video card, I'll try my best though, ok wish me luck.

In TC all image editing was forbidden, so you're telling us you broke the rules eh?

No, SR Challenge is exactly the way it was before we started TC. Email entry and no auto brightening.

I haven't read the rules yet, but I think it says that ANY modifications is forbidden. But, on the last TuningChallenge, I was adding a kind of "speed-blur" effect around my car and no one removed them. Also, I was adding black stripe on top and bottom of the picture to make a wide-screen effect. So, as long as your car is not phisically photoshopped of paintshopproed (:lol:), your picture is legal.

Hint : Put your anti-aliasing to its max and play with full game option (light and speed blur at your discretion). Then, resize the screenshot you took in-game (it's in 1280*1024) to 800*640 and resize top and bottom border to make it fit to 800*600. Your pictures will look great now.

You have two options:

1. you plug your xbox into a tvtuner and make screen captions on the pc, or
2. you ask a pc user to make a car with your specs.

I entered my car a while ago, its pretty good in my opinion, better than my previous work, I didn't get to finish the game again, bu t i managed to get to the point where u have all the upgrades, race 100 and sumthin, so Wish me luck and even with my lame ass card i figured a way to get nice rims chromish effect, when your car has the white rims(default colour, go into paint rims and select the chrome paint but don't apply it and ta-da u have a chromish rims, so drive in lightened areas to see it fully chrome, this si advice for ppl like me who have mid-low video cards, I have a couple of file names so don't laugh if my file has a weird name though
