PLEASE, DONT FORGET TO GIVE AN "ENDORSE" IF YOU LIKE MY MOD! There is a lot of work in it and so I'm asking for only a single click (it will not hurt you)! Feel free to add your own images if you want!
READ CAREFULLY THE DESCRIPTION PAGE! There are some important informations that can avoid troubles.
Phoenix Cinematic ENB-Reshade is my custom preset for Fallout 4 with a good visual X performance balance. I will be doing updates for better improvements in future! Constructive criticism and suggestions are always welcome, give your feedback here!
- EDIT (07/05/2018): Phoenix Cinematic Preset updated to version 1.2 and this is a huge update (See changelog below). Saddly Phoenix Cinematic will no more be supporting Vanilla weathers, only NAC. If you really want to use vanilla I suggest to use version 1.1b

Q: I'm stuck at Reshade Installation (step 3) with the message "Select Rendering API". Nothing happens... A: You have not only to leave Direct3D 10+ selected but you also need to click INSIDE this bar. So download the shaders and continue installation.
Q: I followed carefully all the installation steps, but when I run the game nothing happens with the graphics. It looks like vanilla graphics.... / or: The preset was working fine, but suddenlly when I opened the game, my graphics changed to vanilla..... A: Open the Fallout 4 main folder and verify if the files d3d11.dll, d3dcompiler_46e.dll, dxgi.dll and dxgi.ini are there. Some antiviruses can recognize these files as a threat , but they aren't! So you will need to restore them from quarentine and exclude them from antivirus verification.
Q: If I want to leave the overall look a little bit darker/brighter and adjust contrast and saturation, how can I do that ? A: You can open the ENB GUI (Shift + Space) and adjust gamma , brightness, contrast and/or saturation at EFFECT.FX section.
Q: I have a low-mid end PC, can I run this preset? A: Maybe! You will have to try. Also check the Performance section on description page, to know how to increase FPS.

1.2 New cinematic styles that can be changed ingame; no more Vanilla weathers Support, only NAC; A lot of tweaks for a better color balance.
*v1.1b: Now the preset has separated options, one for Vanilla Weathers and other for NAC; new bloom shaders (credits to MaxG3D and Firemanaf), several tweaks to both options.
* v1.1a: Preset optimized for ENBseries 0.317; Sky ambient calculation feature added; SSAO improvement; some minor tweaks.
* v1.1 : Preset optimized for ENBseries 0.316; SSAO Adjustments; a little increased Reshade Curve contrast and few color balance tweaks.
Thank you so much for the presets and detailed videos and descriptions. I would add though that you need to choose between ENB or ReShade and not make it look like you can run both at the same time. At least I cannot make all 3 things work at the same time, NAC+ENB+ReShade. According to Reddit, you can't run ENB and ReShade at the same time, nor should you. Just Reshade is actually the better option for less FPS drop and I agree.
NAC already makes a huge difference without FPS drops at all, plus your Reshade preset and it's mint!
I think something is wrong here. ENB works perfectly with Reshade (and NAC) at same time. If they are not working for you , so there's something (certain mod, 2nd plan software, antivirus, etc) causing some conflict on your setup...
DEAR USERS: Due the Coronavirus pandemy, PLEASE consider to support me being a subscriber of my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4sf64ytieKt1ZAEaLhEmzw If possible, watch and rate some videos.... I don't know when me and my wife will be back to our jobs, and in my country we can't expect any help by the government. At home the only thing I can do to get some money is to make gaming videos for YouTube. Is not too much money I know, my channel is not big and popular, but at least I would get food to my family until I be able to return to my work. I'd be forever grateful. Best greetings to all of you!
Agora sério... As much as I try ENBs (specially with NAC with those completely blown out sunny days) I always have some side effect on my character's body/face texture, when looking really close. Most of the time is AO and it gets worse with detailed shadows... Which kinda invalidates me having beautiful body/face textures if the RNB is going to mess shadows and lightning on it.
I'll give yours a try... and give NAC another try too (NAC is always too bright in the sun or too dark in the night for me, can't seem to find the perfect balance to my tastes :( )
Grande abraço! Pelas fotos parece bem bacana mesmo!
Seu comentário me lembrou exatamente um dos únicos problemas do NAC: Muito brilho nos climas ensolarados, inclusive já até deixei uma sugestão ao L00ping para tentar balancear isso na próxima atualização.
The installation is not just copy/paste. You also need to install the Reshade correctly (step 3 on description page, also see FAQs in the stick post). You need to follow carefully the installation steps. And no problem with lens flare here!
Sorry for making such a sort post regarding the problem I am having with you mod. In the pics above is what I get when I try to play with nice mods like yours (enb+reshade) I really did followed carefully the installation process. I guess this game doesn't like amd vga Your mod only works if I uncheck all these effects: lens glare, screen space reflections, wetness, rain occlusion and motion blur
Its weird!!! I've never seen such thing before. Is there another mod that you install together with the ENB Reshade ? ENB + Reshade should not cause it...... =/ If you uninstall the preset , the issue is fixed ? Are you using True Storms with other weather mod ? Did you try to enable the launcher ambient occlusion to see if the problem persists ?
I must say that I'm using true storms only. I'm only using yours (enb+reshade). If I uninstall your mod, the screen goes back to normal. If I maintain your mod and disable the effects lens glare, screen space reflections, wetness, rain occlusion and motion blur from fallout launcher menu, the screen goes back to normal
I didnt try to re-enable the ambient occlusion btw, but I gonna do it. Your mod is worth anything.
Are there, in your mod, anything that activates these effects?: lens glare, screen space reflections, wetness, rain occlusion and motion blur
No, there aren't. Here I play with all these effects enabled in launcher without any problem. Whats happening to you is something completely new to me! I will be investigating if there were similar problems with AMD cards + other ENB/Reshade presets in FO4.....
If you disable only wetness (keeping enable the other effects), the problem still persists ?
All right. I will update the page in the step 1, adding a warning about the possibility of this problem ! If you dont mind, I will link your image to show what the issue is.

Thanks again.

Keep up the good work!
Credit given where credit is due, splendid work!
The screen get blurry with only black and white colors
It happens when I enable the Lens Flare effect

Disabling ambient occlusion and wetness fix the problem
