The patch we've been all waiting for is here!

What? No, not weather.

It's photo-mode!\

Camera movement (Camera Type changes it to Free Camera):

Camera Settings:

So the screenshot thread doesn't collapse under the weight of the new patch, here's a thread where we can post our new screens to our heart's content...

My first attempt:

Ricky_R · Nov 18, 2014

Photomode thread. No photomode.

Edit: Or is it out already and I'm clueless?

Miles Quaritch · Nov 18, 2014

I'd take some pics, but I've decided not to play the game again until they've fixed the online issues and weather is available.

I look forward to seeing some lovely shots though.

EGOMON · Nov 18, 2014

Away from country no PS4, please DC-GAF melt my eyes I miss Driveclub

The patch is available right now so I thought I'd start the thread. I'll update the OT with some personal photomode pics in the next half hour.

AbandonedTrolley · Nov 18, 2014

Patch downloading, along with a 3GB BF4 one too!

eso76 · Nov 18, 2014

Do we know if it's a proper photomode with visual enhancements and downsampling (a la' Forza, GT etc) or it's just "place your camera, adjust DOF etc" and snap with share button like Infamous and TLOU ?

Vein · Nov 18, 2014

I wonder how it looks. Will be trying out soon. Weather gifs with photo mode will redeem this game.

JON4495 · Nov 18, 2014

Tried it out for a quick 5 minutes, seems cool but I'd need to have a better understanding of what all the picture processing stuff does.

What do 'Bokeh' and 'Focal point' change? I set focal point to max and the sky turned green, and bokeh didn't seem to do anything as far as I could tell.

No downsampling, filters, depth of field, shutter speed, angle etc with borders and filters.

Shaneus · Nov 18, 2014

Quick and dirty first one, was hoping it would use more than just the share button because as you can see, there's some gnarly compression going on there.

AbandonedTrolley · Nov 18, 2014

The problem is that although Sony have allowed us to extract the images via USB, they are still compressed, so the best option is to set up the shot and then use a capture card.

kriskrosbbk · Nov 18, 2014

I cannot find anything DC related on the store ? Packs,cars,etc..Any clue?

Go to the game in your bar, press the Option button and select Check for Updates

Sorry, didn't know. Wasted a first post for that.

Awesome shot Auctopus

Nice set of options, glad they're sticking to real values for aperture and shutter speed.

Shame about no added AA solution, but at least you could say that this kind of photomode is representative of ingame graphics.

Share function though....when will Sony give us the possibility to capture uncompressed images and compress them only when it's needed for uploading to fb or wherever ? : \

No replays in this patch yet right ?

EDIT: and quick, someone show us how high you can place your camera above the track and how close to the cars !

I have installed the patch mate ,however I thought that the cars, tracks must be dloaded from the store,am I wrong?

dannethmps · Nov 18, 2014

Come on guys lets see some, I can't get on until later tonight

GrizzleBoy · Nov 18, 2014

Am I seeing aliasing around the windscreen in the first screen in the OP?

benzy · Nov 18, 2014

So the post-processing AA is in real-time and you'll see it gradually appear (and jaggies disappear) if you leave the settings alone for a bit. Guess this is the only way they could do it considering the game doesn't actually take an image for you, you have to use the share button, which means compressed images. Wish it was like in GT/Forza where the game actually renders a supersample high-quality image that we can export to our PCs.

At the very least, motion blur and DoF can hide a lot of the aliasing and other not-great aspects of the visuals.

Auctopus · Nov 18, 2014

Okay, sorry about the ropey start to the thread, guys. Here's my first set, few photos of the new courses (which are already some of my favourites):

Didn't spend long on these as the settings are still a bit baffling to me.

Ah, i see.
Forza does that too, with DOF, motion blur and AA being rendered and refined in several realtime passes, but it's so quick you hardly notice. Of course when you actually snap the pic it gets re-rendered in even better quality though.

Jup. However the LOD and shadows also improve in photo mode, depending on how long you let the image sit still.

Non-photo mode

Photo mode

Photo mode letting it render for a few seconds

Just like with Forza and GT, photo mode drastically improves the image.

jet1911 · Nov 18, 2014

fallen_dawn · Nov 18, 2014

Can't wait for the pics after that weather update, it will be glorious.

DD · Nov 18, 2014

Horrible horrible compression. Why?!

benzy · Nov 18, 2014

no post-processing

AA added

random pics

Man · Nov 18, 2014

Will be glorious with weather update next month(hopefully?).

You're right, I'm afraid :/ Until things are improved (200KB for a 1080P screengrab is useless) I might as well just upload to Facebook:

Oh my some of the shots are freakin amazing well done gaf keep it up

That non-photomode capture has natural in-game blur that's blurring the details found in the stand-still photos though. The shadow quality and LOD look the same to me.

DEAR GOD look at those soft shadows and better AA!
