    This map is absolutely gorgeous when played on and when looked at but I can't seem to get a good screenshot of it without having that stupid bright light stuff getting in the way.

    Any advice?

    BTW this map is on Blackout...crazy right?

    Make a vid, put it on your fileshare, and then put it on gamevee using Grab, no capture card needed. or just delete the FXs.

    Try using the forge item FX to reduce glare, thats the only solution I can think of other than using a video

    This map is on Blackout and the point of this map is to make it brighter. I can't put other FX on or it will ruin the point

    You should get it from a different angle if you can, or just delete 1 effect just for the screenshot

    Delete all the FX's then take pictures.
    Then for your first picture use the glare one to show people that your have FX's on it.

    Try the Juicy FX. I use it to reduce the glare from energy blockers on some of my rubbish Avalanche maps, so that might work. Just don't put the FX in the smoke stack, or you'll never be able to get them back!

    if its on blackout, then practically all the screenshots there become like 40% brighter when you use fx like pen and ink and nova.

    Take the effects off then take the pictures, and once your done put the effects back on.
    Map looks good though
