I have MSFS with HDR mode enabled and fly with a 55" HDR TV and it looks absolutely beautiful while in the sim. However when taking a screenshot and opening it up, it looks very washed out. Is there a way to be able to take srceenshots while running in HDR mode and have the picture show up like it appears in the game? I would like to share the picture with some friends but it just doesn't look the same as in the game? 

A workaround would for me to disable HDR mode in window and then launch the game and then take a screenshot, but then I would be missing out on the HDR features while flying.

Here's mine, HD is enabled in W10, Enabled in MSFS2020, Enabled in Nvidia Geforce. Taken looking into the sun and it's way better than previous patch was. Using ASUS PG43UHD monitor.

And cloudy.. Same settings

Wow! Strange how mine doesn't look like that. How do you enable it on GeForce? Do you mean I need to have GeForce Experience installed?

Yes i'm using Gforce exp and enable the experimental features tab. Alt+F2 in sim to open.

Useful informatio, the game looks far better with HDR enabled but the washed out screenshots and videos are annoying.

Captain420, which TV model do you have ?

HDR Enabled in Windows or Windows + monitor / TV ?

Those pictures still look washed out to me. Exactly what I see when I take pictures in HDR mode, actually. It is frustrating, I agree.

Yep same here, they look like screenshots taken in HDR mode with the typical pale sky and a washed out look you get when you forget to turn HDR off.

I did experiment with the Nvida thing but it seems to time out for me.

Hi,

If I am not mistaken, your screenshot is washed out because hdr metadata is not captured.

I use Xbox Bar and it saves 2 screenshots 1 png and 1 JXR (It will capture an jxr file that is in HDR and a png file that is tone mapped to be viewable on SDR.)

 

 

You can enjoy your HDR screenshot with the Win10 ''Photo app'' or with ''HDR + WCG Image Viewer'' and the XJR picture with Win10, but if you do a capture you lose the metadata...

 

 

 

And Windows photos does use their own interpretation of the ICC profile and can be inaccurate, in fact it does not respects icc profiles.

 

 

I think the best is to take SDR captures and make adjustments with Photoshop or Lightroom

See you
