I’m working on a new 1080p settings, based on my new philips CRT combo VHS.

This is how it looks right now, later I’ll try if I can make masks stronger, but I love the way it looks.

I think you posted the same image twice: same filename (and brightness)

Hi, I just found something on Retroarch that was driving me crazy, I always new something was wrong, I don’t know if it’s a bug or is it me, but can someone confirm it and report it or something?. It has do with simple presets savings, toggle on, vs Toggle off, it seems that affects brightness, so it has an impact on the shaders, even without shaders you can noctice decrease of brightness when you switch it off.

Here’s and example:

Simple preset toggle off:

Simple preset toggle on:

Edit:also happens with other toggles like taking notifications off.I don’t know why that happens, but I think it affects with other options too, like changing video driver (I use Vulkan) if you change options on retroarch affects in a way in the brightness, it’s slightly but depending the options is more or less, and then you have to start tweaking a bit the shader settings and it’s annoying, also can affect to other people if the have different options enabled or disabled, so it won’t look the exactly the same as I have.

on my monitor I can’t tell any difference in brightness.

Try to zoom in! affects also sharpness and focus. just zoom in or try a mobile device.

#6511

on my mobile is not easy to switch back and forth between them but I couldn’t catch any differences :thinking:

Let’s wait someone else with different monitors.

#6512

It’s slightly, but you can tell the difference, I’m doing it on PC though. But you can download the images on the mobile device and you will notice it.

#6513

I couldn’t see a difference either, pulled both images into Photoshop with the “Difference” layer mode, and it produced a full black image, which shows there’s absolutely no difference between the images as posted. Was the same screenshot perhaps uploaded twice accidentally?

That being said, an issue I’ve had in the past that I never figured out (It just kinda went away on its own) had random setting changes, no rhyme or reason to it that I could find, disabling HDR in RetroArch, is it possible that the source of the darkening you’re seeing is HDR being enabled/disabled?

#6514

Yes, I just changed it! Can you check again please?

Look the letters, the top one looks sharper, maybe it’s not brightness, but affects the image. Also look closely to the blue part.
