Applying forest.exr from Cdrive & applying forest.exr from D drive ! why the quality differing

hi…

To get as same Look & Feel result in Rendered mode as in Material Preview, iam
applying Forest.exr image in World output for Environment.
I copied the forest.exr from C drive/blender foundation to my directory in D drive.

Now my question is…
when i apply the copy of forest.exr to world env… steel look is not nice ! ?

but when i apply the original forest.exr from blender foundation folder in C drive, the
steel look is nice !

why the difference ? can you pl throw light…
thank you

Hi @Indian_Einstein,

The material preview uses a default HDRI, but the Render Mode uses EITHER the default, or the one you have assigned in the shader:

In the material preview:

and Render Mode:

ps. You can also switch the Default Off in Material preview [ select the Scene World ] if you want to use your assigned HDRI there too.
