After a few ideas and suggestions along with the agreement of fellow members, I've decided to start the first ever GT4 photo comp. Let's lay out the rules:


ญญญญ• Photo must be taken in Gran Turismo 4.
• Photo can not be edited through any other means becides the Photo-lab at the in-game garage.
• Competition will alternate themes. Every odd week is the open comp where all pictures are acceptable, on even weeks the theme will be chosen by the winner of the prior competition. Themes can include: rally, flying cars, cars by brand, tracks, etc.
• Picture MUST be in the format of 800x600 or 600x800 to be acceptable in the competition and to coincide with UltimateCarPage.com's rule regarding inline images.
• Pictures should be no more than 30 days old. This can not be tested so please use the honor system.
• Competition will last one week, beginning on Wednesdays with a vote starting on Tuesday and lasting exactly one day.
• Once a photo is submitted, it is final. No if's and's or but's. (suggestions allowed)
• No late entries are permitted. Photo should be submitted before voting thread is made by yours truly.
• Good luck, may the best member win. :)
Let's see some pictures. :cool:

CSL, you are only allowed to enter one picture sized at 800x600 or 600x800 pixels; choose wisely. Pictures not following the guidelines will NOT be accounted for in voting.

Should .gif animations be allowed in the comp, as long as they're limited to 488.3 kb?

So wait all that you do to get the photos onto a computer are just use a usb connection cord from the PS2 to the Computer? If thats all that you need then I'll go get me a USB cord. Later I'll post some photo's if I get it to work ;) I have an awesome photo of the Cadillac Cien. :D

Save your replay, go to the replay theater and watch it there. Press Select to stop the replay and enter the picture mode.

or you can go to the 'City Courses', 'World Circuits', 'Original Circuits', and 'Driving Park' sections and choose photo drive. Then do what Quiggs said.

You probably have a USB cable for connecting the computer and the camera. use it to connect the PS2 and the computer. I don't have a PS2, so I'm not quite sure though.

Which wouldn't be easy if his computer is in one room and his ps2 in another.

I think it's the same as for the camera.
You just connect the USB cable to the computer and go to the Explorer and there is, I don't know, Removable Disk (F:) for example.

But Xar has to transfer the pics first so he needs to be able to see the GT4 screen so he can go to the home>photo lab>film/photo>transfer to usb flash drive. He would need the ps2/tv and his computer at the same time connected with the USB cable.

He can memorize the menu or write the buttons needed for home>photo lab>film/photo>transfer to usb flash drive. :D ;)

BTW that Speed 12 is awesome.

EDIT: Or, if he has a notebook, he can take it to the PS2.

I can. The Nissan Skyline is an overweight underperformer that is far too expensive for all it's hype. And it only looks descent. I prefer the looks of a 20 year old Mercedes over any Skyline, barring the Skyline 2000GT. (60's)

sorry a non-ps2 or GT4 owner question.

are all of these shots from in game realtime? or from a high res replay?

if they are in game then the ps2 is more capable than i thought

Bingo... I'd argue the R32 GTS is pretty decent though.

From saved replays or a photo run.

FFFFAAAAANNN BBBBOOOYYY!!!!

Just because there's 90 of them doesn't mean we want to buy ANY. :rolleyes:

This skyline's perfromance is crappy compared to all the supercars and race cars we have by now.

Plus most of the "modified" ones are ugly as h3ll.
