Description
Important Information
Provide following Information:
- mpv version: mpv v0.38.0-63-gb364e4a6
- Platform and Version: Windows 10 22H2
- Source of the mpv binary: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/64bit-v3
- If known which version of mpv introduced the problem: unknown
- GPU model, driver and version: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, driver version 552.22
Reproduction steps
This is a JPEG screenshot taken by mpv --no-config using the screenshot command:
This is a screenshot taken by mpv --no-config --vo=gpu-next:
The JPEG screenshot taken when using gpu-next appears slightly darker, particularly around the stalactites, than the screenshot taken when using gpu. I'm not sure if screenshot-tag-colorspace affects JPEG screenshots, but just to rule it out, setting --screenshot-tag-colorspace=no does not have any impact.
Expected behavior
JPEG screenshots should have the same brightness.
Actual behavior
There is a difference in brightness between gpu-next and gpu.
Log file
Sample files
Any video file should work, but it is easiest to see the difference when taking screenshots with scenes that are set in low light.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with mpv v0.38.0-63-gb364e4a6 on Windows 10 using the screenshot command with vo=gpu and vo=gpu-next, including the linked log and a low-light video scene. Compare the JPEG screenshot paths and color handling; done means both renderers produce screenshots with the same brightness, including around the stalactites.
