Dilla's Simon the Sorcerer 2 - 25th Anniversary Edition - CRT and Color Reshade
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added unsharp, colourfulness and CRT_Lottes.
Restoring the original look with the CRT shader.
Color reshade made for 8 bit monitors without HDR.
If your game is grey and milkwhite, take a look at the screenshots please.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reshade V1:
less shadows, more color and CRT shader 
1st Unsharp: vignette shadow removal and textures look different, better
2nd Colourfulness: soft color increase 0.20 value, re adjust if you like more or less color
3rd CRT_Lottes: CRT shader mimic the look of older monitors
If you don't want to use the vignette removal and extra color, disable those effects and use CRT_Lottes only.

Install: Copy the reshade files into the game folder Steam\steamapps\common\SimonTheSorcerer2 Doublecheck, if your folder is different.
When installing Reshade into the game folder, click on unselect all and then select all shader.

Recommended reshade settings: Load only enabled effects in the settings menu and use performance mode.

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:
The new Simon the Sorcerer 2 25th Anniversary Edition (remastered) did not look as good as i remeber it back then,
when the original game came out for the first time.
Tried the original aspect ratio and original graphics once and it wasn't good either.
So i've created a reshade preset to restore the original old crt look of the game.
Go into the graphic settings menu and choose modern aspect ratio and original graphics.

Use modern aspect ratio and modern graphics in Simon 2:
This are the best settings in my opinion. In the first Simon game, the old format and old graphics were looking better with reshade enabled,
but in the Simon 2 game, im thinking modern aspect ratio and modern graphics with reshade enabled looks better.
Just try both modern and old, you will see it.
There are some screenshots too, feel free to take a look first.

Note about a dialogue bug:
If you have to wait for the person talking, but you can't hear anything and it takes forver to skip the dialogue: 
Someone on the steam forums posted about the game, a solution for this bug is to disable the dialogue subtitle text and use speech only ingame.

Note about the legacy DLC:
Start the game inside steam and you will be asked which version you want to play, anniversary or legacy.

*This reshade was created without a HDR monitor, so maybe this won't work on HDR 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. Using this reshade config it is fine for me, but i had this in other games, even without reshade.
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 are 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.

What is reshade exactly ?
