This mod enables High Dynamic Range (HDR) screenshot capture within Elite Dangerous. By accessing the game's rendering pipeline directly, this tool bypasses the "baked-in" post-processing found in standard in-game or Steam screenshots.
Depending on your configuration, images are saved in OpenEXR or 32-bit float TIFF (default) formats. This provides the flexibility to precisely adjust exposure, tone mapping, and bloom during post-production.
Key Features:
- HDR Capture: Save raw lighting data for professional-grade editing.
- High Fidelity: Full compatibility with high supersampling settings for maximum detail.
- EDHM Integration: Designed to work seamlessly with EDHM by replacing the d3d11.dll file.
Capturing Screenshots
- Standard HDR Capture: Press F12 (default).
- Save Location: Images are saved to %USERPROFILE%\Pictures\ED Screenshot.
- Post-Processing:
- .exr files can be edited in GIMP or Affinity Photo.
- .tiff files can be edited in Adobe Lightroom.
High-resolution HDR captures (Alt + F10) are disabled by default to prevent excessive processing times when capturing at high resolutions. You can enable this feature by editing the configuration file located at Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-odyssey-64\EDHM-ini\3rdPartyMods\EDScreenshot.ini and removing the semicolon (;) from the following line:
