SGS's LUTs - Enhanced Color Grading and Black Levels for Starfield
Overview
This mod fine-tunes the color grading in Starfield, offering enhanced contrast, deeper blacks, and more balanced colors while retaining the game's original artistic vision. It accomplishes this by adjusting the Look-Up Tables (LUTs). Unlike the Neutral LUTs Mod , which fully removes the original color grading, this mod selectively scales the intensity of the original LUTs to achieve a more balanced visual experience.
Features
Multiple Variants: Choose from different mod flavors to suit your preference.
Please Note

Please Note
- This is not a ReShade preset; it directly modifies the game's textures.
- I've employed a script to process the original LUTs, rather than manually crafting them for each environment. This is why multiple variants are available, allowing you the freedom to mix and match according to your preferences. Due to time constraints, I won't be able to fine-tune all 254 LUTs individually. Nonetheless, this mod serves as a solid starting point.
- The mod doesn't affect Photo Filters or UI LUTs.
- To revert to the original LUT in specific areas, simply delete the corresponding replacement file.
- Being texture files, they pose no risk to your game.
