The Gran Turismo 4 Photography Mode Thread

Viper007Bond · February 24th, 2005, 04:47 PM

Well, with the amount of items you can change (focus, aperture, filters, etc. etc. etc.), it's almost like having a real camera. So...

Post your stuff!

I grabbed mine off my PS2 via my compact flash reader.

Now mind you, this is my very first photo. Was taken just to test to see if my CF reader would work. It was too dark, so I quickly lightened it up in PSP7. Shit work, I'll do better later, but this is just to start us off.

My first car, a '04 Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STi spec C:

this is just insane....
i might jsut buy ps2 and this game
i just might

Viper007Bond · February 24th, 2005, 05:17 PM

Worth it.

I'd play it at a friend's first tho to be sure.

ESPNSTI · February 24th, 2005, 05:18 PM

Getting the game today (hopefully).

Yah I originally bought a PS2 to play Gran Turismo, and I haven't regretted it.

Viper007Bond · February 24th, 2005, 06:53 PM

Dammit, it looked fine on my TV, but it was too dark.

Adjusted brightness/contrast on this one as well:

I thought the cars were more detailes, the lights and doorhandles are just images...

Viper007Bond · February 24th, 2005, 07:24 PM

It's a PS2, not a computer.

But yeah, since those are just renders, they coulda made it better. Then again, that'd be a HUGE amount of data.

Dr. Woo · February 24th, 2005, 08:06 PM

Wait...how'd you get the pictures?

Overheat · February 24th, 2005, 08:16 PM

Just plug a USB device into the PS2 by the sounds of it - I'm gonna give it a try myself once I can get my brother off the damned thing

Photo mode + USB storage device. In my case, I'm storing it on a compact flash card via my CF USB reader.

An WRX as your first? You must've taken the easy route and imported your GT3 data.

Viper007Bond · February 25th, 2005, 02:11 AM

You can only import $100k, but yeah I did. I didn't want to have to deal with the crappy 80's cars and such.

Oh, and clarkma5 over at DieselStation wanted me to take some pictures of Laguna Seca and I thought I'd post there here as well:

ChaoZ · February 25th, 2005, 02:12 AM

Just got through the B license with silvers.

jasonchiu · February 25th, 2005, 02:12 AM

damm the 2nd pico f the sti look so good! hey u know how the ps2 has a USB port. do u think i can stick a thumb drive in there and import my photos with it?

ChaoZ · February 25th, 2005, 02:13 AM

Personally, I think the Nurburgring looks better.

That's the idea.

My old thumb drive wouldn't work though. Fortunately, my card reader worked like a charm.

jasonchiu · February 25th, 2005, 02:21 AM

emmm so, as i am the no.1 n00b here for tech. how do u exaclty get photos from a ps2 to a computer? how can u put a compact flsh car in it?

Viper007Bond · February 25th, 2005, 02:27 AM

You stick a USB thumb drive in the USB port and save it to there in the game. It saves it as a JPEG on the drive. I have a USB compact flash card reader and that's what I'm using.

jasonchiu · February 25th, 2005, 02:29 AM

o right. can u save games on thumb drives? coz thumb drives are alot cheaper compare to memory cards
