  1. Xbox One screenshots come out too dark


    So I have been playing Elite Dangerous took screenshots to share but they are useless as the screenshots come out way darker than the picture is in your game. I have not noticed this in the past due to playing games not set in space till now. Large amounts
    of detail are lost.

    I brought this up on Frontier's official ED forum and others agree. One person claims there is a bug with XB1 screenshot function - it crushes the bläcks which makes screenshots for naturally dark games come out awful. You may, for example take a picture
    of a spacestation but all that comes out in the screenshots are the lights, when in the game you can see all details, objects and textures clearly., including those in shadow.

    Looking at games not as dark as deep space there is still a noticable difference in brightness/contrast with lack of details in shadows.

    Shared sceenshots become much darker then the original

    Whenever I share a screenshot on the Windows Xbox app they become darker anyway to fix this? I've also noticed that some of my friends screenshots tend to be dark too, here's a side by side comparison (not the best comparison but you can still see what im
    talking about)

    XBox Club: The screenshot images are to dark to see any detail

    Hey there

    Are you playing on xbox one S or X with HDR ? HDR can make screenshots very dark or appear too be dark try turning off the HDR You can still capture in 4k without HDR you can also still capture in HDR and toggle the HDR off and on when you view the game
    clip for each clip. Settings Preferences broadcast and capture

    Something else too also mention is that the graphics in sea of thevies are very dark. For example the screenshot you took is at night and in a storm. The game makes it hard too see in this case on purpose has it isnt ment too be easy too see when sailing
    at night in a storm. So it isnt really a issue just the fact that yes its dark because thats how its been intented too be

    Yea, dude, I hope they improve on the online play in the next one, as the Online play on Dark Souls is boo boo. It was near flawless on demons souls, but they seriously dropped the ball on Dark Souls. But I'm excited for it though.

    Games make me their slave. I can never get away from them for too long thanks to some awesome game coming out and especially when multiple awesome ones keep coming out back to back.

    Screenshots are dark

    Hi,

    In the display settings of Xbox , choose 10 bits in color range and in your TV setting set Black as normal.

    Regards

    Screenshots are dark

    It could be something to do with your HDR if you have an xbox one x, go to xbox settings> General> tv & display options> video modes and disable *allow HDR10* then check out the screenshot. If that doesn't work i would go to https://beta.support.xbox.com/contact-us
    for more information to help you.
