Photo Mode RUINED my Screenshots...

[Hey It's Greg]

After finally going back into the game to 100% it, I wanted to also use the photo mode to take some nice shots of the scenery. After taking a couple of shots, I would notice a strange "haunting" sound. It happened quite a bit and I didn't know what it was until I went into my screenshots folder.

Any time that damn sound would go off, the game was adding a little "something" to those photos. A lot of my one-take shots are completely ruined by a random ghost kid slapped onto my photo like some cheap free filter from the app store on ipod touch that you used to download to scare your friends into thinking ghosts are haunting them.

However, even though this little boy's face shows up A LOT, there are other "funny" things that also show up. Random ghost lady floating where she shouldn't at and angle that doesn't make sense to the shot. Random ghost orb that completely ignores the cinematic bars and just sits right on top of them (the ghost kid's face and floating lady do this too).

I don't know if this was an error on my part or not. I have no clue if these filters have a toggle, but I hope to god they do. Sure, they gave me a little spook seeing them for the first time, but whenever they're over a shot of the game I'd have to replay the whole game again to get, that's when I'm a little sad.

As an easy workaround, just use F12 instead. You can still use photo mode, just hit F12 to take the screenshot using Steam, instead of E or Enter.

It is annoying, though; it would have been nice to be warned more clearly about the 'feature.' Clever, but annoying.

Yeah, I learned my lesson and started to just hide the hud and screenshot through Steam. It's a really neat idea, but whenever it's every other picture it kinda loses it's charm.
