The Oblivion Screenshot Thread Options

Today's Gemini-enhanced Oblivion screenshot differs from what I normally post in that it documents Gemini's perverseness. The undoctored screenshot was captured in Burma during nighttime, with Neeshka and my decrepit avatar seen outside the city chapel. I've always liked its composition, so I decided to see what Gemini might make of it. My first enhancement attempt produced satisfactory, if blase, results, except that my avatar's skin-tone was that of a "person of color." I reminded Gemini that my avatar is a Nord and told it to make the correction. It did so...with a vengeance, as is seen below:

I was so shocked by what had been done to my avatar's face that I failed to notice that Neeshka is no longer a Dunmer.

Some days later I attempted a fresh enhancement of the screenshot. This time Gemini was more factually correct, but so little "improved" from the original screenshot that it wasn't worth keeping.

I don't remember Hamfat being so beardy

Today's Gemini-enhanced TES Oblivion Classic contribution is two images that are the same image, or rather, one image that I asked Gemini to enhance with two lighting variants. Here we see Vilja reading to my avatar inside Benirus Manor. The source image was drastically cropped long ago. There was undoubtedly a light source in the room. What and where it was is likely to remain unknown, unless/until I transfer my second playthrough to my primary PC.

My solution was to have light beaming through the door window. I initially chose sunlight, later remembering that my avatar normally asks for book readings near bedtime. Thus, the moonline variant. Gemini initially misbehaved with the moonlight variant, enlarging the door window to enormous size, taking up half the door. Thankfully, Gemini corrected this with only one additional processing.

As is my recent practice, these images are linked from Google Photos so that all can see them.

ADDENDUM: So far as I can tell, I never linked to what I consider my most elaborate Gemini-enhancement except as an Imgur link, which not all can see. I therefore take the liberty to link it as a Google Photos image:

Today's Gemini-enhanced TES: Oblivion Classic screenshot is a scenic view of the Imperial City as seen not far from the beginning of the Black Road. I believe this to be a second-playthrough image.
