Dilla's Hogwarts Legacy - CAS Two Time Pass Reshade V5 Final

Added colourfulness, unsharp and cas, 2nd version without unsharp.

Playing this game on a 60 hz monitor the game should be colorfull and probably no need for a color reshade ! This reshade is made for 144 hz monitors using standard monitor mode, where some games are grey and have no colors, maybe the icc monitor profile get ignored ?

Hello there Plasma Fire Gryffindor's, Gas Air Ravenclaw's, Liquid Water Slytherin's and Solid Earth Hufflepuff's !
First of all what is CAS two time pass ? When creating a video file inside a video editor program, before starting to render the final video file, there is one option, it is to render the video with one time pass or two time pass. Creating the video file with two time pass the video has better frame quality, the video looks better, sharper. So i've tried to recreate this effect in pc games using reshade CAS and the ingame CAS and i have to say in some games it realy works well. Doing this with any game goes like this, enable CAS in the ingame settings menu and then enable the 2nd CAS inside reshade.

*Re uploaded both files V4 and V5 with dither disabled. Disable dither if you downloaded this in the first few days here. Dither inserts an invisible screen to get better Gradient banding (grey tones) only visible with 7 or less backbuffer bits set. With 8 or 10 bit backbuffer set, the inserted dither screen is not visible but still exhausting to look at. Just disable dither (uncheck) when you see it is on.
Install: Copy the reshade files into the game folder Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64 and compare them what you like more. You copy my file into the gamefolder and then you install reshade into the gamefolder, while installing reshade use "install shader needed by my ini file" or use install "all shader files" (uncheck all select all). Then you start the game use the hotkey POS1 to open the reshade menu.
There is a drop down menu where you select my ini reshade file. Check the description tab here or watch some reshade install clips on youtube.
Check my recommended hotkeys in description tab. Also open the reshade settings tab and set a hotkey for turning the effect on and off. When you enter an area where the reshade looks bad (red glowing areas as an example) you use the hotkey to disable the reshade effect as long as you are in the problematic area and turn it back on when you leave the area.
Last step is to enable "load only used effects" in the reshade settings tab and enable "performance mode".
Reload the effect or turn it off and on once again and you are good to go.
Have fun with the new settings.
New Reshade version 5.7.0 with bugfix for Hogwarts Legacy:
Recommended reshade settings:
1st - Click on "Load only enabled effects" in the settings menu.
2nd - Use "performance mode".
3rd - Hotkeys
Pos1: standard hotkey to enable the reshade menu ingame
Insert: toggle reshade on and off hotkey for comparing the difference
Print: for screenshots will be inside the game folder
Page up: reload the ini file
Page down: performance mode on and off
End: for choosing the next preset
Recommended graphic settings:
Choose one of them, because we can't use both at the same time.
Peformance mode ingame: For the best performance we enable FSR 2.0 quality CAS sharpening value 0.2 ingame and 2nd CAS inside reshade !
Now we have two time cas going on, once in the game settings and once in reshade. Enable nvidia reflex on + boost.
Max out everything on ultra settings and enable vsync. Take a look at my settings screenshots for more details.
Hogwarts Legacy: How to UNLOCK the MAGIC ...of Upscaling Youtube video explaining upscaling.
Quality mode ingame: For the best image quality we disable scaling and use high quality TAA and max resolution ingame.
Max out everything on ultra settings and enable vsync. Enable nvidia reflex on + boost.
Use performance mode as explained above, if you are lagging.
Recommended Mods:
REMOVE FOG This should improve the frame quality, so use the no fog only download or watch this youtube video and disable the fog yourself without a mod.
Ultra Low Latency Starter Pack - Nvidia Reflex edition for Hogwarts Legacy:
Reddit link open discussion about low latency in Hogwarts ! Gameplay with those settings felt good, but my pc was getting very loud. Im using standard settings again and graphic settings for gamplay as written above. If your Hogwarts Legacy is crashing a lot, consider switching to uefi bios and disable the old legacy part.
Note about the screenshots being more red colored:
I'm using bluelight filter level 2 on my monitor so this should be visible in the screenshots too. Less blue color means there will be more red color in the frame. So keep in mind testing the reshade with bluelight filter on and off, or at least use a low value.
Note about greytones, whitebalance and colorbalance:
Checker shadow illusion greytone perception
Optical illusion greytone perception
Cornsweet illusion greytone perception
Color balance color perception
The dress color perception
Also look at my screenshots with the "LAGOM MONITOR TESTIMAGE" with compared reshade effects on and off where you can see the black and white levels difference.
Have fun ;)

*This reshade was created without a 10 bit HDR monitor, so maybe this won't work on HDR or OLED monitors.
*Important note to everyone who get to feel a headache or eyes hurting, you should disable cas and use lower color values because these effects can create pixel corruption by oversharpening the picture. Double cas is heavy on the eyes (jagginess) but if you use only one cas ingame or in reshade, it should be fine.
So be carefull when using sharpening and color effects, thank you.
*Feel free to change my reshade settings and upload your own reshade.
If you are a game developer: This is the kind of graphics what gamers realy want. Full colors, straight textures and clear sight ! Look at the screenshots or test the reshade file by yourself. When you create a new game think about putting some kind of colorcorrection into your new developed game for 8 bit monitors or add something like this in the settings menu for being able to toggle the colorcorrection on and off.
