HDR washes out SDR screenshots, breaking Inventory Kamera's OCR. Windows 11 pushes HDR/Auto HDR heavily, so it's becoming easier to encounter this.
It seems this already a known issue, but doesn't fail cleanly. Instead, the scanner behaves erratically - 2* weapons scan as Rust with negative refines, rows of artifacts are skipped, etc.
HDR being a source of issues is also not mentioned in the software or README - just the checklist for bug reports.
Proposed fix: Scanner should detect HDR and promptly fail with a user-friendly message. There may be a Windows 11 API to check if auto HDR is enabled, or the Paimon menu could be used as a litmus test.
Expected Behavior
The scanner stops scanning
