So I don't know why, but in the past when I've taken screen shots in WoW or FFXI the screens came out looking like the game - but for some reason when I take screens of STO they come out darker than they are in game, to the point where faces can't really be seen.
Here is an example (note: I only cropped and added text no touch up of coloring)
