I know I said I'd stop with the GIFs, but

I see too many screens of that and it just doesn't do it justice (Neither does this GIF all that much).

Also this GIF may contain spoilers so I'll only post the link.

I just now realize that those monsters kill you with one hit.

Flower & Mario give me next gen feels that other games do not.

How did you use your Elgato to capture? Just making it full screen and screen caping the PC?

 

[Al Gore's Thermostat]

Well, it looked pretty on the TV. How do I keep it from being so compressed? It's from Facebook. I did the download and uploaded it to abload.de, still compressed.

Internal capture card is the best option.

The Elgato has a screencapture function. If you go to edit after recording, just right click anywhere on the timeline and hit "screenshot to desktop." I think you can do it from the capture window too. There's keyboard shortcuts too. It's like alt + ctrl + shift + c or something like that, I forget lol.

Captured these using the share button, then sent them to a friend by sending a message via PSN. Opened the messages using the PS app, "saved" them to my tablet, then shared using Google+

Umm...That's a way better method for compression! Still not perfect, but way better. Cheers!

I uploaded a screen to Facebook and Twitter, and also just tried the App method (sent a message/downloaded to phone via PS App/connected phone to PC and grabbed the image):

Taking all sources into Photoshop in terms of PQ: App extract>>>Twitter>Facebook.

Twitter Vs App comparison: (Zoomed)

Did you get the original-resolution-pic from twitter via the good ole "rig"-trick?

Yep, sure did!

possible to do with videos as well?

I'm at work now so can't double check, but I'm 99% sure in messages you can only send a screenshot, text and voice message. I don't remember seeing video popping up for attachments.

All these Knack screenshots somehow do not look as sharp as I would expect them. I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing. On one side, it seems like a blurry post-processing AA solution, on the other side it gives the game a pretty natural look.

What they did to Dead Rising's art style is depressing.

Killzone looks really good


man, it's such a shame 3D World doesn't feature a fully zooming camera. The constantly zoomed out angle really doesn't make for very exciting pictures, and the game is damn deserving of such because it looks incredible. For example, this one would be impossible to take ingame

The compression does terrible things to Knack. These shots (were) beautiful while I was playing the game. They're terribly compressed even viewing them locally via PS4. They really need a lossless capture option asap.

 

[nib95]

Great shots. What do you mean exported via PS App?

You need 2 accounts. On your PS4 message the other account a screenshot. Log into the PS App on your mobile with the account the message was sent to and check the message/s. Save the screens to your phone and export from there or transfer them to your PC to upload. Screens are far less compressed!

Incoming 1MB pics!=p

Yeah that's true, though I rather have no compression, and games in motion still makes them compress quite a bit sadly.

Yeah definitely. Until Sony adds other options this is as good as it gets without a capture card and HDCP stripper. It's not too bad, far better than Twitter/Facebook anyway.

I wish there was a way to do this without two accounts.

Awesome.

Sony should had allowed uncompressed screens, sure, they'll be over 1MB, but at the cost of brilliance and to show how beautiful console games are. Also Resogun suffers the most in compression from what I've seen due to like a million effects, lol.

 

[UNCMark]

I finally unloaded Killzone on someone at Amazon and put the money towards Pikmin. You guys and your Wii U pics are costing me money. I gotta have that holiday level.

There's an easier way as long as you have a friend on PSN that doesn't mind you sending them pics:

Send all your pics on PS4 to a friend via a message and then sign into your PS App and look at your sent messages. Boom! Save them that way.

Again, this is a way to do it without making two profiles, but you'll likely annoy a friend.

Indeed. It's basically free advertising, lol.

I just check the file sizes of the jpg's grabbed using the PS App method, they range from 700KB - 1.4MB so far. I'll pop in Resogun later and see how badly that suffers.

Both of these are around 1.2MB

Better but...Sony needs to have a better built in capture feature if compression still happens at 1MB still.

Maybe try twitter, I think it's a little less compressed.

Finally finished the story tonight: Brilliant, beautiful and the best Assassin's Creed since 2.

Last one is (kinda) spoilerish.

Yeah I'm really surprised. It looks like PS4's capturing abilities are actually pretty good (for jpg's). Just goes to show how much Facebook and Twitter slaughter the image quality. :/

 

[StaSeb]

Hey thanks for pointing out that little way of exporting good quality pictures - even though I am missing the IOS/Android-device to use ist. Also good work on delivering great shots too!
