Previously, you could only take in-game photos with Arthur’s physical camera or the console share buttons, and you were constantly limited by the range of the device and unable to add filters and effects. We’re going to show you how to activate Red Dead Redemption 2’s photo mode, list all of the available features and photo mode controls and where to find saved photos, so you can learn how to take - and then share - quality campfire glamour shots of Dutch and the gang. On this page: For more help, our Red Dead Redemption 2 walkthrough explains the requirements for fully completing the game’s many story missions. From there you can hit TAB on PC or RB/R1 on your controller to enter the advanced tab to access filters and contract. You can access the photo mode as soon as you gain control of Arthur after the opening cutscenes, and can use it at any point where you can open the menu, which includes cutscenes.

As well as the above, it’s also possible to add filters, stickers and text… From here click on your photo and select the ‘Edit’ option to be taken to a screen where you can place and apply stickers and custom text to your photos, including location tags, greetings, baroque corners and Rockstar logos. To add filters, press the left and right arrow keys, while up and down arrow keys change the intensity. Below is a list of the filters available in Red Dead Redemption 2’s Photo Mode:

The PC version has seen several new additions, including a photo mode, Landmarks of Riches Treasure Map, The Elemental Trail Treasure Map and the End of the Earth mission. If you’re looking for more help in general, our Red Dead Redemption 2 mission list walkthrough can help provide pointers with the story. If you’re looking for things to find, there are Killer Clue Piece locations, High Stakes Treasure Map locations, Jack Hall Gang Treasure Map locations, Red Dead Redemption 2 Le Tresor Des Morts and the Poisonous Trail Treasure Map locations too. Our in-depth systems explainers includes hunting perfect pelts, hides and skins as well as all Legendary Animal locations and Legendary Fish locations, or all Gunslinger locations, too. Finally, here’s a list of Red Dead Redemption 2 cheat codes . From there you should see all of your photos taken so far. You can also quickly access this menu by pressing the G key whilst in Photo Mode. To find them on your computer is a bit more tricky. Just like GTA V, they’re saved to your Documents folder on your PC as PRDR files. The Red Dead Redemption 2 photo directory is \Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Profiles[YourProfileName] - so navigate there to find them. They’re poor quality but you can convert them into JPEGs by adding the .jpg suffix to the file and using select software. There was a fan-made tool to turn Snapmatic photos from GTA V into usable images, but there is no such thing for Red Dead Redemption 2 just yet. Our recommendation? You’re better off just hitting Print Screen or using something like Nvidia Shadowplay to capture your images once you’ve removed the HUD.
