I had a bit more time so done a few more of my favourite tracks and cars so far :)

...attempt at a Mondrian style paint job
I'd have said more Paul Klee myself ;) (just a joke)
...I am loving this game I really am. I am working my way around the settings, the limitations are endless with a camera on every car or any piece of weather and track...

Some very realistic looking stuff there - nice job! (picture selected at random btw)

👍 Thanks @MeanElf I try to make them realistic as possible -I'm glad you like them, I enjoy spending time on each photo trying to get them photorealistic as possible on the settings available :cheers:
 
Just to get it cleared up for me: those pictures are all uneditted and come straight from the game's photomode?

Damn, I am really impressed :crazy:
I'd say that 98% of them come straight from the game, some use filters provided and one or two (who have said it up front somewhere in their post) have been edited.

Be careful...it's really addictive.

I have come over all Christmassy, so...Seasons Greetings all!

Have a good time :)
 
You will definitely introduce even more compression by uploading to Facebook or Twitter from PS4. Currently, the best solution is to copy them to your PC with the help of a USB-stick and upload to somewhere that doesn't compress your pictures further.

I hadn't realised that either. Does uploading to Twitter do the same?
 
The answer is in the message you quoted ;)

Ah yes. Thanks. :boggled:

At least I don't have to get a twitter account... phew

What I would like is a Flickr upload option on PS4 direct from an uncompressed (or at worst very lightly compressed) jpg.

It makes me less inclined to bother sharing having to go down the USB stick route. It really doesn't need to be so difficult. I could upload photos direct from the PS3 XMB straight to Flickr using their old upload tool. Unfortunately that doesn't work with the PS4.

Does anyone have any comparison shots of uploading from a PC verses uploading direct to Facebook from PS4?

On top of that I want to be able to share 1080p gameplay footage. I was pretty disappointed with the quality of video footage from the PS4 share button.

Unfortunately, the compression seems to happen between the game and saving to the PS4 - so direct saving to any site for a photo or indeed a vid, will have the same compression. True, FB or YouTube and Twitter (as Centura pointed out) compresses further.

For images, PD have the best option with saving as a .PNG file. If Evolution could do that, and Sony added a share possibility for a site of your choice, then we'd probably all be laughing: add the replay feature to that, and there would be a lot of happy people around, possibly even world peace :lol:

Sony have made changes to the PS4's upload options, so maybe more will happen - though I doubt the compression will go away any time soon. Evolution have stated regularly that they are keen to continue working on the game and adapt it until it becomes what the players want, so hopefully saving without the use of the share button, will happen too.

If you want to save your time, just upload to Facebook and grab your pictures from there. The amount of compression Facebook adds will likely be minimal as they are already highly compressed from using PS4 SHARE button.

Well, highly is a bit of a subjective thing (unless my eyesight has deteriorated far beyond what I thought :mischievous:) Whilst the compression is a pain, I do think it is a fraction off of the image I'm seeing at the rendering stage, so whilst it's best if it wasn't there, it isn't like the compression rate we used to see on YouTube a year or so ago.

Feel free to shoot me down on that, but I feel it isn't so bad as all that :)

Depending on what scenario in the photo and the screen you're viewing it on, it can be harder to see the compression.

I play PS4 on a 23" IPS with 1920 x 1080 resolution. My computer is connected to a 27" IPS with 2560 x 1440 resolution.

I see the compression way, way less on my 27" because the pixels are simply much smaller.

It's also that I have photography as a hobby and I'm used to dealing with 15+ MB RAWs, so I'm much more sensitive to these kind of things.

Well, that makes sense, but that logic applies to any image upscaling - the first rule of image reproduction is don't mention...sorry, is work large, reproduce smaller ;)
 
Wow! Awesome photothread here! :D awcar28 your pictures are all amazing! sebmugi, the white and red R8 with driveclub logo is sick!

I wil try and post some pics here as well :)
