Screenshots don't look like in-game visuals

Post » Wed Aug 06, 2014 9:03 pm

So I recently returned to Skyrim and installed several mods and RealVision ENB; I wanted to take a few screenshots but notice that no matter if I use FRAPS or Skyrim's built-in screenshot capture, my screencaps don't look like how my game actually looks when playing. Its almost like the brightness or contrast is missing. I see plenty of others post pristine, beautiful screenshots and am wondering what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

Some folks photoshop their screenshots to look extra nicer.

Are you using enb to handle your saturation and contrast?

I have no idea. I press F12 and my screenshots look exactly like my screen. Are you sure you installed your ENB correctly?

As far as I know, yes, my ENB is handling my saturation and contrast, and as far as I know it is installed correctly; I used Mod Organizer, and the ENB is definitely on in-game.

F12 you say? Haven't tried that; I was using Print Screen. Is F12 the default screenshot key for ENB?
