Question for other creators of race photos / photoscapes.
I recently started using the "export" option from my showcase in order to transfer my photos to the PS5 media gallery, as I prefer having the GT7 logo (lower left corner) instead of the alphanumeric signature code (lower right corner) that is added when using the capture screen button on the dualsense instead.
However, the results obtained from both methods differ substantially.
If I use the export option in showcase the picture saved in the media gallery has a different tonal mapping, slightly washed up colours and higher exposition values, although not as noticeable as the issue with HDR video captured from the replays if saved as 4K webm format instead of 1080p mp4).
I have an HDR LG OLED TV so I play the game in HDR and have the correct settings for PS5.
The only picture resembling my original edit in the photo mode is the one I screenshot from the showcase, not the one I get using the export option.
I've tried to search the internet for more info about this but have found nothing.
Is this a known bug or just a result of how the export option works for HDR pictures which I guess it tries to export as SDR material (hence the tone mapping)?
So I guess "screenshot" the way forward for me.
For comparison:
Using the "capture" button from the dualsense when showcasing the rendered photo.
