About this mod
Starfield got way too dark shadows. This reshade bumps up the shadows and light behavior to create more depth and realism.

Check out my other reshade mod: PRS 2.0 - Photorealistic Reshade (Customizable)
-> Description ->
This is a reshade mode for Neutral LUTs. I will work on other LUTs as well but I feel like Neutral is the closest to realism so far.
The primary focus in this reshade is to make the shadows more ''transparent'' and actually look like shadows. Keep dark shadows dark and brighter shadows bright, not just dark all the time.
Same with light -> make the light actually feel like its shining and keep it down where it needs to. An example is computer keyboards, neon citys bilboards and other stuff is to bright, it just loooks like a shiny messy blur. This reshade fixes that!
Check out image sliders for better comparison!
Will be a 3-4 fps loss so keep that in mind.
And HDR version is just fakehdr, you dont need a HDR monitor :)
