Do your screenshots look washed-out with HDR enabled?

Here is a comparison between a Steam screenshot and a screenshot made using this guide.

TUTORIAL

Recommended MethodEnable HDR in OBS (use a Game Capture source): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hei0r0RvE94&t=262s

OBS settings -> Video -> (Scaled) Output Resolution & Base (Canvas) Resolution: set to your prefered screenshot resolution, probably your monitor's resolution

OBS settings -> Hotkeys -> Screenshot (Output): set your favorite hotkey, don't use F12

Close Steam (completely)

Download and open SteaScree[steascree.download]

Select your game ID and user ID, add your OBS screenshots to the queue, then click on "Copy screenshots to game directory" and lastly click on "Prepare screenshots for uploading..."

Open Steam and upload your Screenshots

Alternative Method (if SteaScree isn't working for you)Enable HDR in OBS (use a Game Capture source): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hei0r0RvE94&t=262s

OBS settings -> Video -> (Scaled) Output Resolution & Base (Canvas) Resolution: set to your prefered screenshot resolution, probably your monitor's resolution

OBS settings -> Hotkeys -> Screenshot (Output): set your favorite hotkey, don't use F12

Convert your screenshots to JPEG: https://png2jpg.com

Put the JPEG files in the Steam screenshots folder (can be opened via Steam screenshot viewer)

Use "Bulk Rename Utility" for the JPEGs with the following settings: replace “-” with “”, remove first 11, remove from 9 to 9, suffix “_1”

Restart Steam

Upload your Screenshots

NOTES

The Windows Game Bar is NOT working correctly for Elden Ring HDR screenshots! Both, the HDR and SDR versions, look way too bright and oversaturated.

You have to keep OBS running in the background, while the Game Capture source is enabled and visible (like if you would stream or record the game)

As far as I know, Steam doesn't support jpeg files with HDR metadata, so this HDR to SDR conversion is the closest you may get to true HDR on Steam screenshots.

The thumbnail folder can be ignored if you're manually moving files.
