Photo Mode Enhancement (HDR-Resolution) 2.0.0

Photo Mode Enhancement (HDR-Resolution) 2.0.0 is the direct update to Native Photo Mode Ultra HDR. Install it as one mod; RED4ext and redscript are separate prerequisites.

This release adds aspect-correct photo output up to a 7680-pixel long edge, photo-only DLSS/DLAA selection, path-tracing rays and bounces, scene animation speed, extended camera range, and automatic localization. HDR10 PQ captures keep the native PNG and add an Ultra HDR JPEG. Options unavailable under the current game settings stay hidden.

Install by extracting the attached ZIP into the Cyberpunk 2077 root folder. Existing PhotoCaptureCore settings may be retained. Remove the old standalone CyberpunkPhotoModeHDR.dll first if it was installed. The separate RealLens and film mods are not included.

Tested target: Cyberpunk 2077 Steam 2.31 on NVIDIA RTX hardware. Higher resolutions, DLAA, and higher path-tracing settings increase VRAM use and capture time. See the repository README for full instructions and the limited source-availability notice.

v0.1 Experimental

CyberpunkPhotoModeHDR v0.1 Experimental

First experimental release of native Cyberpunk 2077 Photo Mode Ultra HDR
output.

What it does

• uses the game's own native Photo Mode shutter rather than a desktop,
  overlay, driver, or swap-chain screenshot;
• preserves Cyberpunk's original blackout, notification, and PNG path;
• outputs current-resolution Ultra HDR JPEGs with an ordinary-JPEG SDR
  fallback;
• provides Faithful, Rich, and single-shutter Both modes;
• reads per-shot HDR10 PQ paper-white and peak values;
• requires RED4ext only. ReShade, Codeware, and REDscript are not required.

Experimental limits

Validated on one Cyberpunk 2077 Steam 2.31 / RTX 5070 Laptop 8 GB / HDR10 PQ
system. Basic checks on that machine at multiple resolutions, with ray tracing
disabled, and at several RT quality levels produced normal output. This is not
a compatibility guarantee for other systems, mods, path-tracing combinations,
or future game versions.

Only HDR10 PQ is claimed for v0.1. Stickers and frames are not carried into the
Ultra HDR output, and Gallery replacement therefore defaults to off. Display,
phone, viewer, Windows HDR, paper-white, and peak-brightness differences can
change the appearance of the same file.

Read the bundled README and checksum before installing.

Optional support: Ko-fi or
Afdian. Donations do not affect downloads,
features, or bug-report handling.
