HDR Issue Forza Horizon 6

Hey guys,

I’m playing Forza in HDR on an ASUS XG27ACDMS OLED and HDR looks significantly better while driving. The lighting, reflections and overall image quality are just amazing compared to SDR.

The problem is: I also really enjoy taking photos in the in-game photo mode.

Whenever I export screenshots or transfer them to my iPhone 14 Pro Max, the images often end up looking overexposed, washed out or simply different from what I see on my monitor.

Right now my workflow is super annoying:
- disable HDR inside Forza
- disable Windows HDR via shortcut
- switch to a different monitor profile/settings
- restart/re-enter photo mode
- THEN take screenshots in SDR so they look correct afterwards

So my question is:
What’s the best workflow for HDR gaming + in-game photography?

Do you guys:
- just stay in HDR and edit afterwards?
- switch completely to SDR for screenshots?
- use HDR screenshot formats somehow?
- or is there a better way to keep screenshots looking accurate on phones/social media?

Would really appreciate some advice from people who play Forza on OLED/HDR setups.
