Newer does NOT mean better when it comes to graphics mods. If one of the newer versions looks awful, try an older one if the screenshots I uploaded interest you.
These presets are mostly a subtle boost to the game. I've been tweaking to get a lot more color but to also to normalize it all to avoid overblown greens or whatever other color presents itself. It's a challenge but I think I've made good progress.
All of the versions are a bit different so if you don't like one version, try another one. The screenshots were taken using different sets.
OPTIONS:
In GemFX in the "Reshade" folder you can turn off CHAPMAN_LENS if you dislike the lens flares. I also tweaked ANAMFLARE for the game so you can use that one if you want some alternative lens flares.
If your performance is too low try to disable SMAA/FXAA in SweetFX.cfg or turn off ENB.
You need HDR set to high for ENB to work.
HISTORY:
v1/v2 - Initial attempts, v2 looks alright
v3 - Very colorful with a bit too much blue at night
v4 - FIxed some overblown colors and attempted to use filmic shaders to better match the original artstyle. This file contains a readme detailing how to turn off the shaders if you liked v3 and just wanted that set improved.
v5 - Polished v4 and added some sweet lens flares. This is the most subtle set out of the bunch I think but it looks pretty good I think.
v6 - Lowered saturation, added a tiny amount of film grain, increased the lens flare effect, and toned down some other settings. This one is kind of different than the rest, maybe it's worse or maybe not.
v7.5 - Turned off a lot of shaders, toned down the color, and added ENB for it's vanilla palette removal(removes washed out effect and brightens shadows a bit), vignette removal, hide HUD function, extreme base game bloom removal(this only applies to .299 ENB and not .300), detailed shadows, and anti-aliasing. I might add some more ENB effects down the road but for now my PC isn't good enough.
HOTKEYS:
HOME key - Toggle lens flare(only useful for mages and it looks awful if you look up at a bright sky, removed in v7).
END key(v7 removed this) - Toggles "Clarity" shader in ioFX, this will make caves look beter but exteriors not so much. They get a bit too sharp in my opinion.
DELETE key(v7 only) - Toggles a de-saturation shader.
END key(v7 only) - Toggles depth of field if you enable it in Common.cfg(#define RFX_DepthBufferCalc 1) and McFX.cfg(#define USE_DEPTHOFFIELD 1), for screenshots only.
ENB HOTKEYS:
Numpad 1 - Opens the GUI
Numpad 2(7 in the latest version)- Toggles ENB
Numpad 3 - Toggles HUD
