hi, ive been wondering how i can take screenies with different color correction on my GPU. i can change the correction to what i want but it just dosent show in my shots. Heres what i mean and as you can see its not showing any difference in color in my shot even though it looks alot brighter on my screen



(PS i dont know if it should be here, if not, mods just move it  )  

The changes you are making affect your display only, not the screenshots you are taking.

You can load the shots into a paint program for editing and colour adjustment but they would be illegal in the freeware UNEDITED screenshots forum, otherwise everyone would be tarting up their shots.

Surely a screenshot is taking a picture of the display. So any colour correction made on the graphics card will change what is sent to the display and therefore will be captured by a screenshot. The only way it wouldn't be is if you changed the RGB, brightness or contrast on the monitor.

Well it should take the screenshot WITH the color correction showing, but all it does is switch back to a normal shot when i change to my normal colors. Don't worry now any-way, i can produce some very decent shots with my new system, even if i'm using the 6600
