There's been lots of interest in my post about how Black Dragon, the third party Second Life viewer, can make SL look like a AAA videogame in terms of graphics detail and framerate. Reader Ella points out it's also great for screenshots, and comes with a Poser tool that helps with selfie pics. By way of evidence, here's her Flickr page with pics all taken with Black Dragon, without any post-processing, as she explains on her About page:
The photos I take within Second Life are taken at up to 6K resolution within the Black Dragon viewer. Photos are resized to 50% to reduce resolution and size of file for upload to Flickr. Downscaling these photos from such a large resolution adds a sense of clarity (but not excessively) to the picture. I consider this an exception and it helps the appearance of SL in general. Third-party tools/addons such as ReShade are not used and photos are not manipulated unless noted in the description.
Still skeptical? Here's some more pics by Ella that seriously rock:
Still more below!
Omg thank you, Wagner! If anyone has any questions about my process, feel free to ask here or in Flickr mail.

Be interested to see a machinima tool built into this viewer.

@Up4Dawes It actually has a machinima sidebar built in for adjusting settings on the fly, similar to the phototools option in Firestorm but I think a little more advanced.
