While it was very sad to have to say good bye to Tulip, the town of Little was established right before the new year. The name of Little comes from the city I grew up in, Littleton, but the naming mechanism wouldn’t let me put all of that. Starting over isn’t always a bad thing. Let’s see what this new year brings!

Due to certain circumstances, the town of Tulip had to come to a close. While it’s sad to see my villagers and progress gone, it was a necessary move and I wish my old villagers well.

I’ve just published a more or less complete guide to all the new villagers over in /r/AnimalCrossing on Reddit! It has everything from personalities to coffee preferences to what Halloween mask they’re scared of!

Here is the link to the Amiibo Update FAQ for those who haven’t had a chance to check that out, as well. Hope you’re all enjoying this amazing update!

Just finished the April Fools Day Guide!

I grew up in Colorado and around this time of year I really miss the snow since I am now in Arizona. Seeing the snow finally stick in my town makes me so happy! It’s beginning to look a bit like Christmas <3

I really need to get better about posting updates, but the upgrades to my house are complete! I’m thinking a sculpted hedge would complete the exterior.

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

new qr of my stepping stone path for the darker snow! I need to check, but I believe this color will last until the 25th of february when the snow changes completely to grass again.
