Photos of Portia doesn't work

[Greenman]

I have tried for an hour to get the picture of the exterior of Portia Times, including getting the check marks, as well trying to copy what's on the wiki and it never gives me credit. Either the quest is bugged, or it needs to be re-worked so you don't need the exact angle for it.

Try taking a picture from the wishing tree. That's what I had to do to make it work.The check marks on the lamps are a fake out that are there for the /next/ Portia Times quest and need to be edited out.

This is the one I took in case that would help:

It's not bugged just a bit awkward I'd say, try by zooming in and out, and not just trying to get an exact angle as long as you're in front of the building.

I got mine by standing on a darkish green shade near Paulie's.

Finding the right angle is a pain in the ass. The same happens with the bridge photo mission...

I'm having exactly the same problem. I have over 15 pictures that include the entire exterior, partial exterior, with and without people, but get no credit for taking this picture. This is ridiculous.

Okay. I finally got this one. You need to be in front of the stairs, but back toward the plaza center. You should be in the picture. Zoom in and out until the bloody check mark appears.

I got it by standing on the stairs then zooming out to find the right angle with the mark. It only worked ( the same angles ) when I started standing on the stairs

Hi there, I had exactly the same problem and I think I understand now what happens.
So, it would appear, at least in my game, that taking a selfie with someone locks the game into selfie mode.
For example, if I go and take a selfie with Emily, and then go anywhere in town and just use my camera via the menu, I will be put into selfi mode with an NPC. In this mode, you can't get the blue mark on buildings or people for the portia times mission. However, you can "fix" the issue by quitting the game and lauching it again.
For the portia times missions, it doesn't matter if you are in or out of the picture, only the right angle counts.
Then again, those are my observations only, maybe it is different for others. But taking a selfie prior to take the mission photos was the constant.

I had to exit the game and close steam like 4 times to make it work also dont take picture with mei first just go outside stand next to the big tree and zoom out till you see check box if you didnt see the check box close client and redo the whole steps till you see it kinda dumb but meh thats how it worked for me

I'm like 90% sure that this is what's happening. Restarting the game always fixed the bug for me and I noticed the selfie thing but never connected the dots in my head.

Ok, so after reading some of your tips I tried and did it.

With me it worked when I was next to the stairs, but zoomed out so almost whole building was in the picture!
