HDR Screenshot Method:
- ReShade: as of version 6.4, ReShade is capable of taking HDR screenshots in the HDR PNG format, which are compatible with Discord.
Important: ReShade’s save before and after images screenshot feature will not work
when using one of the inverse tonemapping shaders because it will
disable the inverse tonemapper as well which will produce a
washed-out image in the before shot.

Special K is able to take HDR screenshots in multiple HDR image formats including HDR AVIF, JXR, and HDR PNG.
-
SKIV (Special K Image Viewer) is a handy tool can be used to properly view HDR images and see detailed information about the image.
More info on SKIV:
- Convert HDR images to another HDR image type (such as JXR to HDR PNG) and export HDR images to SDR.
- Crop HDR images using by holding ctrl + left click, then select the area you want to keep, release the left click which will then save the cropped image to your clipboard, paste the image back into SKIV.
- Can take HDR screenshots which essentially makes it an HDR version of the Windows snipping tool.
- SKIV automatically comes with Special K when you install the latest version from the Discord. You'll find SKIV in the main Special K install directory.
- SKIV does not need Special K to function so if you have no interest in using Special K you can move SKIV.exe to its own folder, then uninstall Special K. I do recommend moving SKIV to a folder, and not just place the program on your desktop because it will automatically download any additional needed files that are required when saving an image to that particular file type. So you'll end up with more than just SKIV.exe in that folder.
