I just went in a hunt and took some pictures with the camera, no problem and pics are in the gallery, however what you said has happened to me with trophy shots, i think it happens when you took the picture and go to the menu or inventory before it end uploading completely in the gallery.

Hey, you made me go look - I took one yesterday, the sun coming up looked cool - it's there man - The only thing I do out of habit, because it was once a problem with trophy shots being broken- I take the photo and watch the block in the corner that says uploading. When I push the button and it's uploading- I do nothing, absolutely nothing. Don't move, swap weapons or go to huntermate, do nothing. Since I've used this little routine I've never had a problem. Don't know if it does a damn thing, but consider this, you're transferring data, if you move, do something with inventory, you're then transmitting data as well. Once when we were getting a lot of "pic failed to load" errors, I started this- never had an issue since. I blame a lot of stuff on my ping, slow connection so I try to make it as easy on the system as possible - my small packets coming by way of the pony express, I try to keep it simple. With super fast connections, I don't think it matters. My brain thinks it matters is all I can say :D

Oh, and here's my picture :D

Have you ever tried using screen shots instead from another video capture program for better scenic photo's?
Fraps, STEAM, and some Name Brand Graphic Programs like Nvidia GeForce has it.

Otherwise,.. just make sure after you click for the Game Picture it gets done completely with the upload icon disappearing.
But even doing this I still rarely have lost some photos to the game Gallery, but it seems a copy will show up on my computer nearly every time.
But you can't transfer a copy to the game Gallery,.. which is a bummer.
You can however upload your Computer Screenshots to Imgur.com or other picture hosting site and then post them to the forum with bigimg if you want to.

I'm runnin' window 10 64 bit, and I don't have the same folder as I did with win 7. In win 7 I could easily find my theHunter photos, windows 10 tho.' I ain't got a clue. I do have a theHunter folder but it is full of my comp ROE's word docs- no pics whatsoever. Maybe I should look in theHunter folder on my PC (hrd drv?). :? Peace.

Look here if taking picture with print screen.
C:\Users\Your_username\Pictures\Screenshots.
Look here if taking game picture with game bar
C:\Users\Your_username\Videos\Captures

or try this to take video capture + screenshots while in games

did you take the camera in your inventory? This is the best way to make beautiful landscape photos.

I'm glad I found this thread again. I still haven't figured out where my scenic photos taken with the in game camera are going. Trophy shots all end up in the gallery- scenic casual photo's tho', are still a no go on my end. Is there a folder I could look in- does anyone have an answer to that... Fletchette... Or is it an idea to reinstall the game again and maybe get back a missing folder or somethin'? I even looked through my Steam folder and no pics there either. This has me totally disgruntled, I can't figure it out for the life of me. I put in a bug report around the same time that I made this thread, but it was ignored- likely 'cause I'm the only one having the issue. My OS is Win 10 Pro. Anyone have a clue...Fletchette... :? ;) Peace.

BCKIdd.

If you use Steam, you can easily take screenshots with the press of a key, it's F12 by default. Of course those pictures won't end up in your tH gallery either and they will include any HUD element shown while playing. But they have a much better resolution! :D

If you want to access the screenshots on your HD, go into your Steam library, right click on the game in question and select "View Screenshots" (or similar) from the menu. In the folder that opens, you can click on "Open on Local Drive" (or similar) and the Windows Explorer will open the folder with the pictures that you can easily move, delete or upload like any other JPG file.

As for the issue you're reporting, I haven't used the camera for a while, so I can't say if it works for me.
