@mrsirvik said in SoT Looks grayish when using Steam to screenshot or streaming with OBS:
@scheneighnay Yes as it says i have HDR running on the game. So that means that OBS and Steam cant make it look normal? It cant just convert it to SDR?
For pictures, use Alt+Win+PrtSc to capture your main screen only - if you can, set up a hotkey (on Stream Deck, for example). It will save a .jxr file (HDR) as well as .jpeg in SDR to your videos/captures folder. The jpeg will be tonemapped but might still be a bit dark in some cases, so you may still want to tweak the levels a bit before sharing.
As for OBS, google "obs hdr to sdr" and you should find a few potential solutions from the OBS forums. From what I can tell, solutions are very much dependent on the game.
Applying a LUT filter and tweaking it with a colour correction filter seems to be the most straightforward solution.
Here's a good video from EposVox explaining this. He provides a pack of LUT files for purchase for a small amount (given how much work is involved in tweaking them to look correct, that's understandable). However, you might be able to find some free generic ones - like this one from that thread I linked above.
Hopefully that helps.
