Creepy's HDR Guides (hdrmods.com) is a how-to site focused on using ReShade with HDR, and its guides assume Windows 11 unless a page says otherwise. To follow it, start from the site's HDR Link Library, apply the HDR Shader Order when arranging effects, and use the dedicated guides for calibration, screenshots, and specific games such as Cyberpunk with RenoDX. The site is a guide index, not a download store; the page evidence does not list prices or login requirements.

What the site covers

The homepage presents a set of guide entries rather than a single tutorial:

The stated scope is ReShade with HDR, and the default environment is Windows 11. If you are on another Windows version, treat the steps as a starting point and verify each one on your system.

The basic workflow

1. Confirm your display and Windows HDR are set up. Before touching ReShade, enable HDR in Windows and run the Windows HDR Calibration guide on the site. A miscalibrated HDR display makes every later shader decision hard to judge.
2. Install ReShade as you normally would for the game. The site's guides are about HDR behavior within ReShade, not a replacement installer.
3. Load shaders in the order given by HDR Shader Order. This is the step most likely to be skipped. Shader order changes the final image because each effect reads the output of the previous one; an HDR-aware shader placed before a tone-mapping or color effect can produce washed-out or double-processed results.
4. Use the HDR Link Library to find the specific shaders and resources the guides refer to, rather than guessing at names.
5. Verify with a screenshot using the HDR Screenshot Guide, so you can compare what you see on screen with what is actually being output.

Expected result: ReShade effects run on top of an HDR signal without the image collapsing into a flat, over-bright, or clipped picture.

Why shader order matters

ReShade applies effects in sequence. In SDR this is forgiving; in HDR, an effect that assumes an SDR input (for example, one that clips at 1.0) will destroy highlight detail that HDR is meant to preserve. Placing HDR-aware processing first and SDR-assuming effects later — or removing them — is the practical reason the site devotes a whole page to order. If your image looks correct in menus but blown out in bright scenes, shader order is the first thing to check.

Common sticking points

• Skipping calibration. If Windows HDR is not calibrated, you cannot tell whether a problem comes from the shader or the display.
• Mixing guide versions. The guides are written with Windows 11 in mind; steps may differ on Windows 10.
• Screenshots that don't match the screen. HDR captures need the specific method in the HDR Screenshot Guide; a standard screenshot tool often produces a dull or clipped image.
• Game-specific setups. The Cyberpunk RenoDX guide is specific to that game and tool; do not assume its steps transfer to other titles.

When this site is the right resource

Use hdrmods.com if you already run ReShade and want to add HDR correctly, especially on Windows 11, and you want a curated link list plus an explicit shader order rather than trial and error. If you are looking for downloads, pricing, or account features, the available page evidence does not describe them, so check the individual guide pages before assuming what is offered.

Creepy's HDR Guides (hdrmods.com) lists a Cyberpunk RenoDX Guide among its HDR guides, alongside an HDR Link Library, HDR Shader Order, HDR Screenshot Guide, HDR Screenshots in Discord, Windows HDR Calibration, and ReShade-specific guides. Based on the site's own framing, the Cyberpunk RenoDX guide is an instructional walkthrough for getting a RenoDX-based HDR setup working in Cyberpunk — it tells you what to do and in what order, rather than hosting mod files for download. The site states that, unless otherwise specified, all guides were made with Windows 11 in mind, so that is the assumed environment.

What the guide is for

The guide sits at the intersection of two things the site covers separately:

• HDR calibration and setup — the site has a dedicated Windows HDR Calibration guide and an HDR Shader Order guide, which establish the display-side and shader-ordering basics.
• ReShade with HDR — the site describes itself as a how-to guide focused on using ReShade with HDR, and keeps a separate set of ReShade-specific guides.

The Cyberpunk RenoDX guide is the game-specific application of those foundations: it addresses how to set up and use RenoDX in Cyberpunk within an HDR pipeline. Treat it as the "apply it to this game" step that follows the general calibration and shader-order material.

What it is not

The page evidence shows a guides index, not a mod repository. The "HDR Link Library" is a separate entry, which suggests links to external resources are collected there rather than inside the Cyberpunk guide. So don't expect the Cyberpunk RenoDX page to be a download source for RenoDX itself — expect it to explain the setup steps and point you to where components come from.

Prerequisites to confirm before you start

How it relates to the rest of the site

Read in this order for a Cyberpunk HDR setup:

1. Windows HDR Calibration — get the display baseline right.
2. ReShade-specific guides — confirm ReShade is set up to work with HDR at all.
3. HDR Shader Order — understand ordering before stacking effects.
4. Cyberpunk RenoDX Guide — apply the game-specific steps.
5. HDR Screenshot Guide / HDR Screenshots in Discord — only if you want to capture and share results; these are separate concerns from getting the game to render correctly.

Practical notes

• The guide is written as a how-to, so follow its sequence rather than improvising the order of calibration, ReShade setup, and RenoDX steps.
• Because the site assumes Windows 11, behavior on Windows 10 is not covered by default — check whether the specific guide carries its own "unless otherwise specified" caveat.
• The site provides no pricing or login information in the available material, so nothing here should be read as confirming the guides or linked resources are free or require no account.

Creepy's HDR Guides (hdrmods.com) is a how-to site focused on using ReShade with HDR, and its coverage of Windows HDR calibration is a single guide page, "Windows HDR Calibration," listed alongside its other HDR and ReShade guides. The site states that, unless otherwise specified, all guides were made with Windows 11 in mind, so treat Windows 11 as the assumed baseline when following the calibration steps. The site's page evidence does not include the calibration guide's step-by-step content, so this article describes what the site covers and how calibration fits into its broader ReShade/HDR workflow, rather than reproducing instructions the source does not show.

What the site covers

The homepage presents a set of guide links rather than long-form articles:

Two things follow from this structure. First, calibration is treated as one step in a chain, not a standalone topic — the site pairs it with shader ordering, screenshots, and ReShade setup. Second, the guides are written for a Windows 11 audience, which matters because HDR calibration tools and menu paths differ between Windows versions.

How calibration fits the ReShade/HDR workflow

The site's framing implies a sequence: get the Windows HDR display calibrated first, then layer ReShade and HDR shaders on top, then capture and share screenshots. The logic is that shader order and screenshot guides assume a display that is already producing a correct HDR image; if the baseline is off, later steps inherit the error.

For example, if you plan to use the HDR Shader Order guide to arrange ReShade effects, calibrating first means you can judge shader changes against a known-good reference instead of guessing whether a washed-out image comes from the shader stack or the display settings.

Judging whether calibration worked

The site does not publish a verification checklist in the available page evidence, so use general checks that match what calibration is meant to fix:

• Highlight detail: bright areas in HDR content should retain gradation rather than clipping to flat white.
• Shadow detail: dark scenes should show separation between near-black tones instead of crushing to a single black.
• Consistency across content: the same settings should look reasonable in games, video, and desktop HDR content, not just one title.
• Comparison against SDR: toggling HDR off and on should show a plausible difference in range, not a color shift that makes skin tones or neutral grays look wrong.

If a check fails, revisit the calibration step before adjusting ReShade shaders — changing shader order to compensate for a display-level problem usually moves the error rather than fixing it.

Prerequisites and common sticking points

• Windows version: the guides assume Windows 11 unless a page says otherwise. On Windows 10, menu locations and available calibration tooling can differ, so expect to adapt steps.
• HDR enabled at the display level: calibration only makes sense once HDR is turned on for the display in Windows; otherwise you are calibrating an SDR signal.
• Order of operations: calibrate before installing or tuning ReShade HDR shaders, following the site's implied sequence.
• Screenshot steps depend on calibration: the HDR Screenshot Guide and the Discord sharing guide assume a calibrated display, since HDR screenshots can look wrong when shared if the source image was captured from an uncalibrated setup.

Where to start on the site

Open the "Windows HDR Calibration" guide first, complete it, then move to "HDR Shader Order" and the ReShade-specific guides. Keep the "HDR Link Library" open as a reference hub. Because the site does not state pricing or login requirements in the available material, check each guide page directly for any access conditions before relying on it.

Creepy's HDR Guides (hdrmods.com) covers this in two separate pages: an HDR Screenshot Guide and an "HDR Screenshots in Discord" guide. The split matters, because the capture step and the sharing step fail for different reasons. If your HDR screenshot looks washed out or gray once it lands in Discord, the problem is almost always the conversion to SDR for sharing, not the capture itself. The site's guides are written with Windows 11 in mind unless a page says otherwise, so treat that as the baseline for the steps below.

What the site actually provides

The homepage is a hub of guide links rather than a single article. The relevant entries for this task are:

• HDR Screenshot Guide — how to capture an HDR frame correctly
• HDR Screenshots in Discord — how to get that capture to display properly when posted
• HDR Shader Order and ReShade Specific Guides — context for how ReShade sits in the HDR pipeline
• HDR Link Library — the site's collected references
• Windows HDR Calibration and a Cyberpunk RenoDX Guide — related setup pages

The site does not publish pricing or account requirements on the page, so nothing here should be read as "free" or "no login needed" — that simply isn't stated either way.

Why HDR screenshots break in Discord

An HDR capture stores far more brightness range than a standard image. Discord, like most chat and social platforms, displays standard dynamic range images. When an HDR file is posted without conversion, the platform maps that wider range into a narrower one badly, and you get the familiar result: flat, desaturated, sometimes visibly gray or blown-out images. The fix is to produce a shareable SDR version while keeping the HDR original for your own archive.

This is the core idea behind the site's separate Discord page — the capture guide gets you a correct HDR frame, and the Discord guide handles the display mismatch.

Capture, then convert: the working sequence

The exact menu names differ by tool and game, so follow the site's screenshot guide for your specific setup. The general shape of the workflow is:

1. Confirm HDR is actually active before capturing. If Windows HDR is off, or the game is running in SDR, you are capturing an SDR frame and the Discord problem won't appear — but neither will real HDR detail.
2. Capture in HDR using the method the screenshot guide specifies for your tool (in-game capture, GPU overlay, or a dedicated screenshot tool). Keep this file as your master.
3. Produce an SDR copy for sharing. This is the step the Discord guide addresses. The goal is a tone-mapped version that looks correct on a standard display.
4. Post the SDR copy to Discord and keep the HDR master locally.

Verification

After posting, compare the Discord preview against the SDR copy on your own screen. If they match, the conversion worked. If the Discord version is noticeably duller or brighter than your local SDR file, the upload pipeline is re-processing the image — check that you uploaded the converted file and not the HDR original.

Common sticking points

• Posting the HDR file directly. This is the most frequent cause of the gray, washed-out result. The conversion has to happen before upload.
• Assuming the capture tool did the conversion. Some tools save HDR only; others save both. Check which file you actually have before posting.
• Skipping calibration. The site keeps a Windows HDR Calibration guide alongside the screenshot pages for a reason: an uncalibrated display makes it hard to judge whether your SDR conversion looks right. If your conversions consistently look off, calibrate first, then re-test.
• ReShade in the pipeline. If you run ReShade with HDR, shader order affects the final frame. The site's HDR Shader Order page exists because the order of effects changes what gets captured — worth checking if your screenshots don't match what you see on screen.

Where to start

Open the HDR Screenshot Guide first to get a clean capture, then the HDR Screenshots in Discord page to convert and share. If your on-screen image and your capture disagree, read HDR Shader Order before changing anything else — it's the page most likely to explain a mismatch between what you see and what gets saved.

Creepy's HDR Guides (hdrmods.com) is a how-to guide site focused on using ReShade with HDR. It collects setup and troubleshooting guides rather than hosting software downloads or selling anything. The guides are written with Windows 11 in mind unless a specific guide says otherwise, so the site is most useful if you run Windows 11 and want to get HDR working correctly with ReShade in games.

What the site covers

The homepage lists the guide topics directly:

• HDR Link Library — a collection of HDR-related links
• HDR Shader Order — guidance on the order in which HDR shaders should be applied
• HDR Screenshot Guide — how to capture HDR screenshots
• HDR Screenshots in Discord — getting HDR screenshots to display correctly in Discord
• Windows HDR Calibration — calibrating HDR in Windows
• Cyberpunk RenoDX Guide — a game-specific guide for Cyberpunk using RenoDX
• ReShade-specific guides — additional guides tied to ReShade

Who it is for

The site suits players who already use (or plan to use) ReShade and want HDR to look right — correct shader ordering, usable screenshots, and calibrated output. It is a reference site: you read a guide, then apply the steps in your own game and ReShade setup.

What it is not

There are no pricing signals, payment links, or download sections on the page. Treat it as a guide compilation, not a store or a software repository. If you need ReShade itself, get it from its official source; this site explains how to configure HDR around it.

How to use it

1. Confirm your environment matches the guide's assumption (Windows 11 unless stated otherwise).
2. Pick the guide matching your task — for example, the HDR Shader Order guide if your HDR looks wrong after adding shaders, or the Windows HDR Calibration guide if your display output seems off.
3. Follow the steps in your own setup, then verify the result (shader order applied, screenshot captured and viewable, calibration completed).

A practical example: if HDR screenshots look washed out when you post them in Discord, start with the HDR Screenshot Guide, then the Discord-specific guide, since the problem may be in capture or in how Discord handles the file.
