Changing photo mode file format
Is there a specific reason why the game (at least MELE-ME1) exports photo mode screenshots as .bmp files? Those are always huge, will quickly clog the drive where they're located on (converting them ...
Hey @sweetpoison0011, thanks for your reply! Usually I take my screenshots with Steam (and ticked on uncompressed copy, which gives a PNG, incidentally), but for some reason it bugged out throughout and is missing a few screenshots that I did also had stored through ME's internal mechanism, so I needed to resort to those BMPs. 🙂 PNG is a lossless format too, though, with lossless compression mechanisms built in. It's why ME's exported uncompressed BMPs always have a constant file size (5.93 MB for 1080p), but PNG can get significantly lower depending on the image content.
It's not really a big deal though 🙂
@PaxnosIn log run it's much better to go for reshade which allows you to take screenshots anytime and in any game.
Sample (FPG format with 100% quality setting - 0.961mb in size)
@sweetpoison0011 You know, I'll give that a go, actually. I'm intrigued by the options. Thanks!
