grimshot: exclude hyprland shaders tint from screenshot

[jncsotk30]

Would it be possible to add a flag to exclude any hyprshade shaders from the screenshot taken(capture area | output, window, region etc)? Same thing for wlsunset. I usually have hyprshade running with a blue-light-filter, and when I screenshot, it includes that shader and duplicates the effect making the screenshot even more orange from the shader. I have to disable hyprshade first before screenshotting and it's rather jarring experience to screenshot.

IIRC hyprland auto-disables shaders for screenshots. Are you using nvidia?

Yes, I am. Is there a property to include in the config for this to work? Also, is it a specific tool like hyprshot, grimblast etc that Hyprland accounts for to disable shaders?

I don't think so. I believe the protocol knows when e.g. grim is taking a screenshot, but I'm not certain. This is what I've read on the discord, mentioned by some users with similar issues.

@vaxerski correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you for the response. Would this doable to add some property to exclude shaders from screenshots?

not without a performance hit

this is something i would like to see done as well, since i use screen shaders for lowering monitor brightness farther than the limit. it makes every screenshot i take very dark. This probably would fit more as a hyprland request than a grimshot issue though.
