I have a HDR movie content playing on a HDR supported PC, using software like the VLC layer. If I take a snapshot to get a png image file, will the image file include the HDR information? That is, if I compare the image file with the movie frame where it is snapshot side by side, will they look exactly the same?

Which software you are using to capture screenshot? – Daman Aug 7 at 9:15

@Daman I am using the capture function from the VLC media player, while it is playing the HDR content. – Haruto.S Aug 17 at 6:59

How do you take a snapshot? 10 bits minimum color depth of the PNG has the same effect on your HDR display.

I am using the snapshot function in VLC player, which produces png files with 24-bit color depth (8 bits for each color channel, I believe) on my PC. Does that suffice to produce the HDR effect? – Haruto.S Aug 17 at 7:08
