Description
While using HDR in Windows and taking a screenshot using Flameshot then everything selected for screenshot becomes very bright.
Disabling HDR fixes the issue. Re-enabling HDR brings it back.
Although, I noticed for a short instance while fiddling around with the value of option "Opacity of area outside of selection" that the issue was gone. But after a minute or so the issue came back again. I have not been able to reproduce this opacity work-around since.
Steps to reproduce
- Enable "Use HDR" in graphical options in Windows 11
- Take a screenshot
