What ENB is this by the way?
I'm using Silent Horizons ENB
What Technique you are using? Kitsune Cut?
The two lead images are 'Kitsune Cut', the one of S'hani wearing the Nocturnal robes and with her back to the camera (with snowy mountain background) are the 'Faded' pre-pass effect. I think all the others are 'Kitsune Cut'.
I usually tweak my post-process to:
Black Level: +5
Contrast: +20
Vibrant: +15-20
Additionally I'll add more shadows (i.e. decrease the shadow value) or increase the exposure levels as needed.
My personal favorite settings (though not always the best for screenshots) is to use Kitsune's 'Faded' pre-pass effect with the post-process tweaks I mentioned above. I find it gives a good color contrast without being too saturated or dark, and gives a nice 'realistic' tone to most NPCs.
Examples of 'Faded' effect:
I haven't tinkered with lens yet (it does look good on some "through branches" or "over shoulder" screenshots, but for the general gameplay, totally unplayable.
Might need to find a way to make them toggable via hotkey or something.
Maybe you can send me PM of your tweaked lens settings - I run pretty much what "Default" preset in optional folder was..
Also, I haven't touched any of the PP in the ENB itself, instead I've slapped a simple reshade (default package with all of the effects available) and added some
Fake HDR
HighPassSharp (to compensate for enabled EdgeAA, which I really like and don't know why it's disabled by default in Horizon ENB)
LevelsPlus
MaigcBloom
Curves
Colorfulness
Not sure if I need most of those now since you said it's easily tweakable from PP settings.
Also I replaced whatever DoF options there were, as I don't think they are very good.
I had my DoF from some other person here on Nexus, who kindly shared his .fx files with me.
Here's how it's currently looking with all of the options listed plus Silent Horizon - Spring LUT (I found it to be the sweet spot for now):
Also I managed skin to look even better with the help of SSS settings provided with SH ENB.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions!
