The ability to transfer to a USB, is that possible yet? I wanna wait till then to post some screens.

Also, I have realized that the majority of the screens I have taken are not going to be good because of the 'screenshot taken' icon is in a lot of them

That's not possible yet.
You can use this workaround though:

The hawk-eyed folk over at Reddit have been at it again, with one of its users finding an ingenious way of bypassing the PlayStation 4's current uploading policy to download uncompressed screenshots from game folders.

As it stands, users are only able to upload their ‘Share’ screenshots in heavily compressed formats to Facebook and Twitter, with no direct way of downloading onto flash drives or any other system – until now. User blade85 has divulged a simple step-by-step method for alleviating one of the PS4’s minor issues.

- Have a second account at the ready, or a friend’s PSN.
- Send a message with your desired screenshot attached via the PS4 messaging service to the account.
- Download the PlayStation App for your phone.
- Open up the application, log into your PSN, and check out the message that you sent.
- Open the attachment on your phone.
- Now you can save the full-resolution screenshot to your memory and use in whatever capacity you wish.

Thanks to Reddit users blade85 and IceBreak for this clever workaround. Let us know if you plan to use this technique in the comments.

As for you getting the "screenshot taken" icon.
Unless you've changed your Share options, you can just press the share button and it'll take a screen and take you into the Share menu where you can view your screens and videos, and upload them to Twitter or Facebook. You don't have to hold the share button until you get the icon on screen, and you don't have to wait for any icon to disappear.

TL;DR: Just pressing the share button is a lot quicker, and it's easier to take a screen of what you actually want to capture.

I have it set as this, however at times I spam the button as there are scenes straight after another which I want to take as well, but that stupid icon is there! lol

What are these results?

I removed the part of my post about fotoforensics, because I really don't know anything about it. I just saw that some of the photos in this thread gave off a lot more information than photos that were uploaded directly to twitter/facebook, or to image hosts using the workaround. I realise that doesn't necessarily mean that they've been enhanced in PS.

It's called people capturing higher quality shots through a hdmi capture card

Fuck it has exactly the same fidelity as in cut scenes, it's pretty rare to see this in games.

In Mgs:gz for example the in game model doesn't look as good as in cut scenes, in Infamous it's 1 to 1 and for an open world game to have such models is incredible!

Guess that would explain it
Except from the ones where it says under metadata that PS has been used. But it could just be that the screen has been convert from jpeg to PNG or something.

Really nice shots. Please keep them coming! I can't wait for my inFamous Bundle to arrive.

Some people use capture devices which save as PNG files (myself included, I use an Elgato Game Capture HD).

^^Cheers, I'll post some more in the morning.

Simply amazing visuals.

The trees and the shadows are truly horrible in this screenshot.

The effects in Second Son looks fantastic, but everything else only "nice".

Sounds like you haven;t played it. The lighting is great, the textures are ace, and the modelling is pretty good. The character models of the main characters are also damn good.

I use a capture card and do every pic as a PNG with my Avermedia software, one main reason is that I don't like using PS4's share as it has no PNG support and I don't like using JPEGs since I don't trust them, loseless>lossy every time.

That could be a FM4 shot easy, everything is so flat, and the crowd..

For as great as some of the lighting effects in the game look, some of it is downright embarrassing. Like zero shadowing for the character standing in front of lights.

some lights do cast shadows though

This has been discussed to death. It's simply not implemented during certain lighting conditions.

I think 'embarrassing' is exaggerating just a bit...

It's pretty clear that given how some objects don't cast shadows or have real time reflections, that it's all part of how the engine works and has been tweaked to keep a balance between great visuals and smooth frame rate.

I'm in the market to get a new phone soon ,finally getting rid of my old sony ericsson that I've had for the past 5 years (doesn't have a touchscreen, uses buttons and no that doesn't include a keyboard, real old school shit right there, lol). Wouldn't mind using some of these as screensavers.

As a matter of fact I may just do this with some other screens in this thread and perhaps even some of my own. Thanks you and the others using cropped shots for giving me the idea

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I was so disappointed with Forza 5 i hope Horizon 2 progresses the franchise forward.

You and I remember FM4 differently, I'll give you the crowd. Keep 'm coming shinnn.

 

[shinnn]

lol would love to see a FM4 shot that remotely resemble that picture

the stealth troll that comes in every XB1 pic in this thread is amazing.

Are there spoilers allowed in this thread? I'm pretty sure I've had the two secret powers in infamous spoiled the last few pages without warning plus a neat surprise in SM3DW which would've been awesome to experience myself? Just asking so I can avoid in the future.

Really? This shot looks pretty aliased and blurry to me

 

[Mugatu]

Really? This shot looks pretty aliased and blurry to me

Other than that it does look good though - but yeah that's worse than I expected.

 

[Regiruler]

I need to find something else that takes decent screens. Maybe I'll get Trine 2.

 

[LiquidNarwhal]

honestly the aliasing matched with the glossy paint textures just make for an extremely large detractor from decent looking models. Let's not get started on the backdrops/crowds, they could have done MUCH better IMO. (yes the hyperbole's comparing it to FM4 are ridiculous but this game does have some serious issues in terms of clean IQ.)

You ask about spoilers whilst posting one yourself...
(a text warning shouldn't be allowed, i'm almost certain people scan through this thread for the pictures)
Pikmin 3 looks gorgeous, really pleased to see more variety in this thread, i hope the infamous shots begin to get limited even if they do look great.

A game nobody has seen in this thread before: inFAMOUS: Second Son. It's pretty good. You guys should check it out:
