HDR screenshots

heythatsprettygood@feddit.uk to Linux@lemmy.ml – 29 points –

Just wanted to find out if there was any progress in terms of screenshots when using gamescope and KDE 6. Last time I tried (running Arch and with an AW3423DWF monitor with HDR 1000), display support worked, but screenshots seemed insanely washed out and generally broken, which was unfortunately a make it or break it feature for me. Has anyone got a similar setup that they can try it out on?

How are you taking the screenshots? Spectacle might not capture HDR highlights well, but it should look all proper on SDR content

Yup, was using Spectacle, behaviour was similar to your description. I guess maybe the HDR highlights just got more blown out on higher brightness displays?

Yeah, it gets more blown out the bigger the difference between the sdr brighrness setting and the highlights is.

Support for HDR screenshots is hopefully something I can add soon-ish
