screenshot with night light on
SUMMARY
Night Light makes colors less vibrant on screenshots and recordings. I don't
remember whether this used to be the case on 6.2, but I'd been using pre-6.3
Plasma for a very long time, testing all sorts of things, and do not remember
noticing anything off there. However, I've noticed this while testing a video
game's performance (my friend noticed the weird colors on my screenshots).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable Night Light
2. Take a screenshot or record a video
3. Disable Night Light
4. Take a screenshot or record a video
OBSERVED RESULT
Captures from steps 2. and 4. look different; 4. looks okay, while 2. is washed
out
I'll attach two screenshots for easy comparison.
One thing to note is that with night light on, when viewing the two
screenshots, they don't look too different. The difference is only visible with
night light off.
EXPECTED RESULT
Captures from steps 2. and 4. shouldn't look too different, or should ideally
be the same
