About this mod
This is a Reshade that really enhances the look of the game at a minimal fps cost.
I went for stunningly realistic visuals, yet to not deviate to much from the original world.
It works for all lighting mods, although i use it with Wiedzmin Lighting mod v8 e3 swamp.

"This Reshade enhances the Visuals in a way to ensure Realism & Graphical Fidelity resulting in stunning Atmospherics."
1. Removes (Yellow) tint.
2. Slightly de-saturates the colors.
3. Enhances the color palette by making colors 'pop'.
4. Slightly sharpens the visuals and textures for more detail using 'LumaSharpen'.
5. Adds some 'Filmgrain' to give it a slight Cinematic feel en give the illusion of more detail.
6. Adds 'Black Bars' to give it a more Cinematic feel.
7. Bring a tear to your eye. Of pure happiness. Trust me.
Cinematic version
1. All of the above.
2. Adds good looking 'Chromatic Abberation'.
3. Adds a tiny bit of 'Gaussian Blur' to blend the visuals
4. Adds a bit more Lumasharpen due to gaussian blur.
6. Uses 'Deband' to remove any lining in the visuals.
7. Darkens the shadows a bit using 'Levels'.
8. This also brings a tear to your eye, but then very cinematicly.
"The Reshade can be used with every lighting mod including vanilla. I personally use it with Wiedzmin Lighting v8 E3Swamp because I like that weather mod the best plus it looks amazing with this Reshade, so keep that in mind."
