I always stay away from using ReShade because i'm not into changing the original image, the only time i used it before was for AC: Syndicate to add AA, but it doesn't seem like they'll ever add a brightness slider to Tomb Raider and after straining my eyes for 20 hours i ended up here and this is soooo much better, thank you.
You are welcomed. I think Eye adaptation is a key for this game. Its how human eye works and it naturally makes the dark parts brighter. Rest of the effects I added are just to make the visuals a touch better and a little bit brighter/sharper :)
Sure could, but your upload is just an .ini, but I found EyeAdaption.fx from another ReShade setup I had and plopped it into the folder. Can you upload the reshade-shaders folder with the stuff your config uses?
I just clicked this for no real reason and I must say I really like what your doing here! Trying to not change the overall look of the game instat making little improvments to make it look just a little bit more modern with a touch from better lighting + more sharpening the image is a very cool way to do it!
For me personal i would like if you try to get a little bit more contrast into the image and a personal tip of mine:
If you check the "haze" shader - this shader makes the image a little bit blury at the distance and gives the illusion of a "world" - specially if the rest of the image is more sharp - works awesome!
Aurion, yes thats exactly what will happen when u increase contrast, thats why I did not do that. Increasing contrast makes darker parts even darker. As I said, less is more. Because to increase contrast without darkening dark parts, you need to use another effects which will just further distort image elswhere.

All these shaders will be downloaded automatically when you follow those steps
I will just link people to shader separately for drag and drop. I found multiple versions on the web though.

But overall a good reshade so far :).
