By now, we all know that Temporal AA is simultaneously the best and worst invention ever - It clears up the image, just to mangle it to itty-bitty little pieces.

This SweetFX_Settings file has several features:

 • Combines dithering, curves, vibrance, fake HDR, gamma gain, and tonemap to clean up the visual quality, increasing overall feel of the game.
 • Utilizes Luma Sharpen to add definition back into the hard blurs created by Temporal AA
 • Unintended but really nice - Improves in-game text (License plates, stop signs, etc.)

Optional file features:

 • Additional SMAA and FXAA passes to further increase image smoothness (SMAA affects fine text negatively - use at your own risk)
 • Enhanced bloom for beefier computers.

Known glitches:

 • Increases prevalence of the "film grain" the game forces you to use. A fix has been found, located in C:/Profiles/Username/Documents/Need for Speed/PROFILEOPTIONS_profile. Open the file with any text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, etc.). Scroll down and find GstRender.FilmGrain, change the 1 to a 0.

Changelog:

V1.1 - Dropped the color tone to reduce bluish hue given to the image. Several additional files that add or subtract features have been added.

V1.0 - Initial Release.
