Man i just my first ever pictures and I'm so damn dissapointed! It was a boon with GT5 wherein i could just get the pictures on my USB and share it everywhere! I hope PD fixes it ASAP because i desperately need a new wallpaper for my PC and phone 😝
 
I had took five photos so far but I did not received a like on any of them. As a result I had deleted them all in frustration. At this moment, I have stopped taking photos for the time being. I shall only return when the timing is right.
 
Do you not have access to them via your gallery at gran-turismo.com or via the PS app?

I remember Sony making a big deal out of the app for screenshots and gameplay videos recently, perhaps it's another facet of trying tp push players there.
You can get at them on the community page but they're a .webpg file (so they're fairly useless in many cases). I was trying to share a pic from my community profile through my phone onto a Facebook page. I had to save the pic to my phone, open in an editor, save a copy (.jpg) then post. But the file size is tiny and it's poor quality.

Boo PD! 💩💩💩

Send to yourself on a different acc, open ps app on phone. Save. 1080p. Best option other than exporting said screenshot to USB to get png. Takes longer, so most of the time I send to myself

But how do you export out of GT7 into a sharable format? Other than a screenshot??
 
Speaking of compression has anyone else noticed an issue with lights and wheels becoming blurry when raytracing is enabled? If I turn it off the problem goes away. In some cases it looks better with raytracing switched off because of this issue
I have noticed this and was confused by it. I'll try updating my preference to frame rate and see if photos improve for me. Thanks for the tip!

If you're using Scapes you can turn ray-tracing on and off without needing to go into the main game Options. It's under the Camera tab and I believe it's called "Detailed Settings". The option to enable/disable raytracing is near the bottom. It means you can see the difference while you're taking the photo and in some cases it makes a huge difference to the clarity of the wheels.

I can't even get anything to share. When I go to "My Items" and select a photo, I get the options to Preview, Open Scapes, Share, Delete. I go to Share and make it Open to all but the "OK" button is grayed out. I've never owned any GT game (brand new to the driving scene). I don't want to clutter the OP and will make a standalone post if needed.

Thanks

Have you entered a name and description into the text boxes? They're required in order to share anything...
 
Good afternoon!

I mainly dedicate myself to taking photographs in GT. I'm angry because is not enabled the export USB Option. I'm reporting this problem on Instagram and Twitter, but I think more needs to be done... How can we achieve it?

Not possible at the moment, which is why this thread is alive :D

Indeed. The fact that it's not even on Known Issues or the stuff to improve makes me think they're not planning to add it at all.
If that was the case, why let base ps4 owners take 4K photos? I know I repeat myself. A lot. Sorry. :D

That's my rationale as well and why I'm hoping they will add it in an update, but I guess they could've also just kept it as a way to improve image quality in the pics or it's more meant for the PS4 Pro version. The pics are definitely 4K as you can zoom into them before saving them which makes it all the more bizarre.
 
OK, you really really really really have to want to do this, and you can't do it with a picture already saved, or even a screenshot. You have to do it while you're using the camera. Take your picture at high resolution. It can be scapes or from a replay. Once you have the picture and are looking at it, zoom all the way in. Move to the top left, share button, triangle. Move to top center, share button, triangle. Top right, same thing. Repeat across the center of the image, then across the bottom of the image. You have 9 screen shots. You might be able to cover the image with just two passes across, but more overlap makes compositing easier.

Go to Library, Capture Gallery. Pull each one up and save it to USB.

Take the USB to your PC or Mac, Open all the files in Photoshop (or something) and crop them to remove any black borders, the control button prompts at the bottom, and so on. Save each crop.
The easiest thing now is to do a File, Automate, Photomerge in Photoshop, pick the collage format. (I actually ended up with a couple of bad seams in the overlaps, so I manually built the composite. A bit more work.)

This is the Pig at Flugplazt, 3804x2140, from a PS4. Click the image and zoom in.

I had the same thought but didn’t act on it after seeing a weird dslr camera lens attachment that made it possible to do a large format type photo by rotating the camera around its axis with the lens slightly offset, taking four pics (one in each angle). Of course this works for GT7 too, albeit a little different.

Good share - I will quote you and add you to the main post. Thanks for this. :D
