If you combine this method with number 1, it can work particularly well in comparison shots. If somebody sees something darker and clearly lower quality, they'll associate that with the item in question. Remember that this is all about perception.

Turn your Skyrim settings down a bit, maybe tune down the brightness. When showing something that you're saying is 'bad', try to make it look bad.

For example, using a particularly dark and gritty ENBВ when showcasing your mod about rising from the undead and fighting hordes of zombies.

Using a certain 'type' of texture or lighting mod when showcasing something you want associated with that 'type'.

If you're taking a screenshot of a landscape, I recommend an ENBВ paired with a good texture mod. If you're taking a picture of your new texture for a sword, doing this makes the sword look better, and people will think higher of the texture quality, and ergo, your mod.

Using lots of lighting mods, texture mods, and mods like ImaginatorВ (plus the MCM) before taking a screenshot to show your chosen focus for the screenshot in a better 'light'.

But I'll give you three, fairly common examples of screenshot techniques. Now how can this be used in modding? There are various ways. You can find some more examples and explanations in this article about priming. It seems simple, but it's called primingВ (I prefer to call it suggestion). Your mind associates the idea of freshness from the flowers with the meat, despite their differences, making you more likely to buy the meat, since it's 'fresh'. You carry that idea of freshness with you, all the way to the meats section. You can't help but think of how fresh and beautiful the flowers look. You walk into a grocery store, and the first thing you're greeted by is flowers. To give a real life example of this, as well as a small lesson in psychology (don't worry, it's not all that boring): It applies to anything you're trying to advertise or promote. Taking a screenshot is about how it looks, but a big part of advertising and promoting your mod is deciding what message you want to send to those looking at your mods. You want those looking at your mod pages and sites to perceive things a different way. Taking good screenshots is about more than having things just look pretty, though.

Just look at the comparison images for mods like Static Mesh Improvement Mod. A huge difference can be made, seriously.

Note: The below screenshots aren't a very good example of the huge difference that can be made, since I didn't have time to download an ENB and use it instead of IMAGINATOR, and my IMAGINATOR settings were a bit over the top. While I'm usually a big fan of smaller visual modsВ when playing the game, for screenshots you want something to look a certain way, and light, reflections and other details play a big part in that. There is vanilla Skyrim, which can be pretty in a bleak, depressing way, and then there is modded Skyrim, which can be transformed into something beautiful, wild, or dangerous - all depending on your taste. One should note that you will probably need a higher end system if you want to make trailers/videos with visual mods and ENBs, since filming videos can be quite taxing on your system, and it is quite important for a video to be smooth and not laggy since a jerky video can be quite off-putting. Most of the stuff I say about screenshots applies to trailers too.
