Photo Mode not working?

[Whimsy]

I know this sounds like some scrub who doesn't know how to map keys and press them, but my photo mode won't work. I've mapped it to just about every key on the keyboard and still nothing. What could be wrong? Am I missing something here? I certainly don't want to reinstall but if I have to so be it. Everything else works just fine, it just really makes me mad because I love taking screenshots with this game and can only do so by pressing F12 (Steam screenshot)

Select 'Options', then 'Game Settings'. In the 'Game Settings' menu, turn on the 'Allow Photo Mode' option

Man thank you so much, I feel dumb for looking that over. I looked at that menu too, but I suppose I didn't look hard enough.

I can get INTO Photo mode, but once there, do you have to use Steams Screenshot key? I couldn't find a way to take a screenshot outside of Steam's overlay tool though.

So basically once your IN PHOTO MODE, what BUTTON/KEY do you push to take the actual photo?

@Wohlever As far as I know there is no way to take a screenshot other than the Steam Screenshot key or with some screen recording software (ShadowPlay, DXTory, etc.) I don't think there is any in-game photo saving/taking, its just there to allow you to get whatever angle you like. If you don't want the HUD in your way there is an option in photo mode to take that off so you can finalize your picture.

Thank you Jupiter. That was exactly what I wanted to know.

I was under the impression, having seen player screenshots showing up on in-game news screens and stuff, that the screenshots were being taken with the in-game photo mode, but after using it recently, I've discovered that isn't the case (or if it is, it's particularly lacking in any documentation). Seems to just be Steam screenshots. Although building your own photo mode shots can be pretty fun.

Same thing as me.
I know the PS4 version has a photo mode as well, so I assumed the entire photo thing was controlled via the game.
The only downside to letting Steam handle it is that steam does 90% jpeg compression, but it does have an option to save an uncompressed version of screenshots in Steam settings, just not sure how many people know about that option.
