Many reshades increase contrast but in doing so they make nights and unlit interiors look unbearably dark. This aims to increase contrast by ONLY increasing the luminosity in areas in the image that are touched by light.
Should have zero performance impact.
Requirements: Firstly you Need Reshade 5.1.0 , might work with older versions.
To install simply unzip contents to where eldenring.exe is located. Choose yes to replace files. Run the game and select the preset: strongerlightsources in the reshade menu.
Additionally you can increase or decrease the intensity of the effect by editing these two values. (but make sure both luma and chroma are the same value for best results). By default the effect is set at 1.000 (100% intensity), in the example image shown below its set at half intensity 0.500 (50%).
