    Great comparison shots! I'll definitely use that ENB effect + mods the next time I'll make a Skyrim playthrough! Though I have to say, on the last two comparison shots, the lack of ambient light feels a bit much to be honest and makes it very hard to pick out any details aside from the character in the foreground and looks unrealistically dark. But that is just my opinion on the matter ^^.

      Thank you. It is very nice effect what the mod does.

      Yes, I can see how it is dark for some. I know when looking at these shots from my phone but, on my monitor it's not as dark. It's hard to balance those settings because it varies by users monitor.

      True and I can totally understand that , but I can confidently say that I have an above average quality monitor with an IPS Panel which has also been calibrated with a colorimeter for optimal colors (100% sRGB color space) and it still looks very dark on it. I'm not saying it is all pitch black, but it still feels like the light sources are getting absorbed too much, rather than faintly illuminating their surroundings aside from a very close bubble around them. This is an issue I find with a lot of ENB presets, not just this specific one and I know it is hard to balance because in certain rooms and places it looks appropriate while it makes others far too dark to be realistic and playable so I tend to tweak any ENB preset I come across for stronger ambient light, because I would much rather have some semi-unrealistic illumination in a few cases, but good visibility in all cases, but that is just personal preference

      Yeah, it is so tricky because I want to increase but, it makes it a lot brighter in my game so, I never know how really balanced it is. I do find IPS do display darker when compared to my Dell 2716DG Gaming Monitor. I do agree with you that in those shots it could be brighter. Maybe in future update I can relook.

      No worries man, like you said, it can't be tweaked optimally for everyone and I don't mind tweaking your presets for a little more ambient lighting for my personal setup, I just wanted to mention it since I noticed this with all ENB presets I've ever used, especially when combined with mods like RLO or ELFX.

      I appreciate that. I always will listen to constructive criticism. Its how my ENBs have gotten better and better I feel.

      Glad to hear it and I totally agree with you, your presets have really improved over time, despite already looking very good from the beginning. The only problem I'm faced due to this is that I can never really decide which of your presets I wanna use, since they all look really great , so I often switch back and forth between them.

      Well, that is a good problem to have at least on my end. Lol.

      True and since switching presets is easy and quick to do I don't mind it either
