[chimerax-users] Fwd: Colors from snapshots

[Christophe Leterrier]

Hi,

I wonder why the colors in the snapshots (and movies) from ChimeraX are
always washed-out compared to the colors I get live in the viewer. Attached
is a screenshot with the viewer on the left, the corresponding snapshot on
the right: one can see how the snapshot is desaturated compared to the
viewer. From my limited tests it is the case when saving as both PNG and
PPM, and I wonder if this could be corrected. I could saturate the
screenshots afterward but it doesn't seem right to me to grossly mess with
color levels post-hoc given how stunning the shaded rendering from ChimeraX
are.

Thanks,

Christophe
