Chapter 5 - Dev Note 4

Finished creating the images but do have a new step to do now, I explain more about it below.

• Scene Planning: 100%
• Setup Scenes Stage 1: 100%
• Setup Scenes Stage 2: 100%
• Rendered Scenes: 100%
• Photoshop Edit: 0%
• Renpy Programming: 0%

I have seen a number of comments in 3rd party websites about the quality of the images, comments like the images need to be cooked longer. sadly with my computer, it would just take too long for me to do this. I ran a test last night and pushed "maxtime" setting to max so I could see how long the image take, it took 5 hours 46 minutes. 

During the production of this chapter, I have been learning more about noise and trying to find other ways to improve the quality, I still think the images before were not bad but when I zoom in on photoshop, I do see a lot of noise. So, therefore, the photoshop edit is essentially me using the "remove noise" filter to improve this, I have personally seen some positive results from tests I have done, did also test the gaussian blur filter which improved the image but I just didn't like how it looked, you be shocked to find out the blur filter was just to blurry lol

I'm going to apply the remove noise filter to each image in chapter 5 within photoshop, the plan is to roll this out to chapters 1 -4 as well but I'm hoping I get some feedback first on how chapter 5 images look compared to previous images.

After all, this is my learning project and I'm sure learning a lot.
