Version 1.1 (Brighter): • Added Tonemap exposure to bump up highlights • Increased Vibrance • Reduced Lumasharpen a little • Sorted shaders properly this time
For those who believe that most ENB/SweetFX/ReShade pesets are over the top.
Essential ReShade uses 3 shaders: Tonemap, Vibrance and Lumasharpen. This improves your in-game vision quality, makes shadows deeper and brings back color variation.
Honestly, I am still surprised by how washed out Fallout 4 looks like out-of-the-box. All the rich detail and unique art style of this game is lost in a watered down, blurry image.
Fun trick: Play with this preset for an hour, then toggle it off for a moment — you'll feel the urge to rub your eyes!
1) Download ReShade installer and run it -- https://reshade.me/ 2) Browse to find your Fallout4.exe and open 3) Select Direct3D 10/11/12 4) Uncheck All > OK 5) Again, Uncheck All > OK 6) Close. Now unpack my archive into the game directory and 'Replace all' (only ReShade.ini gets replaced). 7) Run the game.
[Home] activates ReShade window at any time. [Ctrl] + [Home] toggles all effects.
There's a tiny FPS meter in the upper right corner. I generally keep it on, but you can turn it off in ReShade settings tab if you wanna.
