<![CDATA[Tinted screenshots, or fullscreen apps and games missing f.lux?]]>f.lux changes your screen colors using the built-in controls on your video card. But when they are not available, it uses the GPU. We prefer to use the built-in calibration controls, since they work better and do not affect screenshots.

So if your screenshots are tinted or your games are not, consider these things:

  1. Do you have a USB-connected (DisplayLink) monitor? Then please consider updating your DisplayLink drivers and enabling a registry setting listed in this thread: http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?p=82958#post82958

  2. Do your fullscreen movies or games not have f.lux effects applied? Then please consider using the "expand color range" menu from f.lux and rebooting the machine. The newer versions will prompt you to do this when f.lux starts (a few times), but a reboot is necessary to finish the process.

  1. No
  2. They do, it's just my screenshots (i use ShareX)
    This only started on the 1903 Windows update/after I gave my PC a reset

I'm using a Razer Blae Stealth 2017 13" using Intel UHD Graphics 620(r)
I've tried fumbling with some settings, but nothing seems to work.

This happens after the computer is turned on, after I have turned it off using hybrid hibernation (fast startup, feature of windows 10).

The same thing still happens after I have restarted f.lux.

It should not do that, anyway.

Is this happening after the machine is suspended or something like that? Does it go away if you restart f.lux (not the whole machine)?

Using f.lux 4.103, Windows 10.0.18362.86 and the temperature from the pic is 4200k

  1. was 5500k sunlight
  2. 10.0.18362.53

So...

Two more things:

  1. What color temperature was f.lux set to when this screenshot was made?
  2. If you go to "About your PC" in system settings, what is the exact "OS Build" (including the part after the decimal)?

I only use one monitor with DVI connector.

I tried all of the troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue for my self.
I have a three monitor extended display work station, and one monitor was attached with a USB-connected adapter that used the DisplayLink Driver.

I updated the driver to my graphics card, updated the driver to Display link, changed the Reg Keys in accordance with the link provided in the OP. I also went ahead and followed every other suggestion I could find in the thread.

My PC is Windows 10 Pro, and I was having the issue with the snipping tool catching the tint, and it was really frustrating.

When I disabled F.lux and switched to windows nightlight, it didn't work at all on the monitor with the Displaylink adaptor, because it wasn't using the Intel graphic driver when connected, it was using the DisplayLink driver, and I couldn't find a way around it. (It's a work PC, so no NVIDIA like my home build.)

In spite of it only being connected to one monitor, the snipping tool issue effected every monitor, not just the one with the DisplayLink connection. SO. I replaced my old DisplayLink USB adapter with a new Display Port to DVI adapter, and guess what, Every. Single. Problem. Is now fixed. Go ahead and just bin your adapters. It won't save you money, but it will save you so much time.

Now both F.lux and Night light works for me perfectly fine on every monitor, and the snipping tool issue is completely resolved.

So I think this is definitely related to how Flux is handling screen tinting, since native Windows OS doesn't even know how to color correct the screen shots.

Also note that I am using a Displaylink monitor (usb to DVI) as well as two other external monitors (one via direct HDMI, and one via a displayport to hdmi converter). The problem is the same with all the monitors.

It occurs across multiple different laptops. My current laptop has a Intel UHD 620 card in it. It's very annoying and I would love to find a solution (other than manually switching the color balance to 6500k, taking my screen shot and then switching it back).

I am still having the issue desribed above. I have already followed all the mentioned steps, including updating DisplayLink drivers, graphic card drivers and applying EnableGammRamp registry key. None of this worked. I have tried out all the screenshot tools available in the market -> the issue appears in all of them.

Driver info:
0_1532698893665_335d8422-1ab0-4ddf-a4e4-75acbccab05a-obraz.png

Are you working on a solution to this? Can we expect this in a new build?

Best regards,
Magdalena

You can go into color management in the control panel and select sRGB IE C61966-2.1 mainly u need the one that says 2.1 at the end under the ICC list,For WIN 7 and earlier but that gets kinda annoying since i like to make sure its the right profile before i launch a game,
You can download this program utility called ‘Display Profile' i found, its only 204kb its at the vary bottom of the article, it have no clue if it works on win 10 since i only use win 7 From PC monitors
https://pcmonitors.info/articles/using-icc-profiles-in-windows/
alt text
Also on a side note some monitors may have there own display profile, i would check that one in comparison to the SRGB bla bla bla 2.1 if you have it, if not just double click the one with 2.1 at the end and it should go back to white at least for me it work.
