About this mod

It's prety well reshade preset. It consumes few resources (60 fps and I have GTX 980) and its rendering is excellent.

*Support for this preset is only known for the Steam version in the Windows 10 operating system.*

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Mirrors
New version realized, with some improvments :
- Eye adaptaive of Bloom effect has now less effect, so the rendering of ui and main menu is correct,
- Replace Lumasharp by FilmicAnamorphSharpen, so sharpen is only in center of screen and sky is smooth
- few less colors
- better shadow
- more fps
... in other words, the rendering is more natural

INSTALLATION
=============

A. if you use this download file

2. extract the file, copy content in the executable game folder

3. play the game, press Home keyboard button (in up of arrows buttons), menu appear, follow steps and choose "DefaultPreset (Halo Reach MCC).ini" in drop-down list (at top)

B.if you use another way

1. execute reshade.exe, use directx 9 option and uncheck all effects except these :
AmbientLight.fx
Clarity.fx
DOF.fx
LumaSharpen.fx

2. copy these other effects from quint github to Shaders folder in executabe path of the game ( ..\reshade-shaders\Shaders) :
Bloom.fx
Lightroom.fx
MXAO.fx

3. rename the downloaded file in this page (
https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/10222/) at "DefaultPreset (Halo Reach MCC).ini" and put it where MCC-Win64-Shipping.exe is, in ... Steam\steamapps\common\Halo The Master Chief Collection\MCC\Binaries\Win64\

Note by LalitPandey :
If anyone is facing 'fatal error' try this..
When installing Reshade 4.4.2, select Directx 11 (not Directx 9) as Rendering API and then install as usual (as given in this preset's description page).
Now in game directory, find '...Halo The Master Chief Collection\MCC\Binaries\Win64\dxgi.dll'. rename the 'dxgi.dll' to 'd3d11.dll'. Now run the game.
This worked for me in Win 10 x64 1903.

CONFIGURATIONS
===============

check these effects (in game, in reshade menu) according to your best performances :

High settings :
LumaSharpen,Lightroom,Clarity,Bloom,MXAO,AmbientLight,MagicDOF

Medium settings (I prefer it) :
LumaSharpen,Lightroom,Clarity,Bloom,MXAO

Low (minimum) settings :
LumaSharpen,Lightroom,Bloom


SETTINGS
=========
LumaSharpen : makes the edges and textures sharper and clearer
Lightroom(best and main effect) : allow to set colors, brigness and darkness levels
Clarity : calibrate shading and lighting (increase details of texture)
Bloom : makes blur white and adapt according to lighting
MXAO : makes realistic shadow of sun (important shadow source)
AmbientLight : makes realistic ambient light of sun (important light source)
MagicDOF : makes blurry far object and allow to focus on near object (more useless)


Notes : this preset is not perfect because I use the adaptive bloom eye and when the screen becomes too dark the white becomes too blurry. But in general, it's prety well reshade. It consumes few resources (60 fps and I have GTX 980) and its rendering is excellent.
