To find out it's easy. Try to activate something without photoreading.
Please try it. I once saw a thread go on for like, days, because someone wanted to question it rather than try it, which was kind of stupid, since he could've found out for himself in an hour by actively trying to activate without the photoreading step.
I've tried it by accident and on purpose, and found that the photoreading step made a VERY big difference.
But don't question it. Try it. =)
