It is really stupid that photos taken with the in-game photo mode can't be uploaded to Steam.

Enough said.

Change your steam photo hotkey? Or hit it at the same time? Or upload them as artwork instead of screenshots?

Why not just Use Gyazo, i mean youre on a PC theres so many ways to take a picture its not even funny -_-

I am not sure about the issue you have here.
Is there a problem using the Album to recall the image you have taken and then Press F12 for the Steam overlay so it gets exported?

The photos are automatically stored as screenshots in the game files, so what's the issue when it comes to uploading them like with any other game?

Disclaimer: I don't upload screenshots from games I play to Steam, so I am admittedly fairly ignorant about the process in general, but I know that the photos you take are stored as screenshots as well, so from a layman's perspective it seems like it would be a non-issue.

Does Gyazo let you go into first person mode or zoom the camera in-game to get shots you wouldn't be able to get otherwise? No? Well then I guess it's not the same thing, is it? Maybe you should stop being a moron like Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum up there, recognize the game could be improved, and stop offering stupid solutions.

Steam embeds metadata into each photo you take. If a photo doesn't have that metadata, Steam doesn't let you upload it. There are third party tools that let you add that info manually but they are clunky to use and add a lot of labor/time to what otherwise would be a process that takes a couple clicks.

Most games, if not all that I have played with photo modes are not compatible with steams. I am pretty sure one probably did, but I can't remember.

Normally I just take a sceenshot per usual, with my default hotkey, if I want to post it on steam. This isn't just MH, it's normal. For a lot of reasons.

Steam saves the files in a particular folder, with a particular name, and also makes a thumbnail. It only accepts these files when you upload via steam.

You can manually recreate files that steam will use, but it is a pain in the butt.

The trick of renaming the files worked for me as of last month or so, not sure if they changed anything on steam since then. But renaming, and having a correct thumbnail have worked for years. But as you say, it's still clunky af. And you do want to have some donor images already saved that you can use as replacements...

Either way, yes it is a pain. But I never used a tool for meta data.

The album only has cropped photos that show the interface behind them.

[Feiticeira Supervixen]

Why can't people understand what op is trying to say lol.
You can press F12 and it's going to take a screenshot but it's a screenshot of the full screen of the game, and in game you can't have the photo you've taken in fullscreen, so you always see the hud and the menus behind the little square that is the original photo.

And you can't really upload something other than with F12 because steam won't show it, if you change the path or if you change whatever you want to change steam won't ever show your picture in the feed or anywhere else.

What you can do tho is publish it as an artwork but it's not as convenient. Honestly they should just have made the photo mode like World, it's was perfect idk why they changed that.

Zoom in, get your picture ready and then snap it with Gyazo, its really not hard to do and you knew what i ment.

You both are pretty stupid, huh? The camera function has a viewfinder overlay that gets in the way of taking photos with Steam.

Did you miss the "upload them as artwork" part?

You realize that's what that section of your profile is for, right?

[Brannon]

I get your issue with the photo system; can't get a truly clean shot that you want without going through a bunch of extra processes. Hopefully in a few weeks we get mods to handle the game UI and also the photo UI. World definitely did it better in this aspect.

If you had any idea what you are talking about, you'd know that would end in a photo obstructed by the camera viewfinder lines. Please shut up. You are not smart or useful. Same with Seamus who I'm not even going to quote.
