Changelogs
Version 1.2
Further reduced yellow light from Velen. Subtle change to Velen sunrise. Further changes to Novigrad City env that was layering on top of the Novigrad region env and making the scene too blue. Slightly boosted yellow color of vegetation in areas where the lighting is affected to bring back the vegetation closer to vanilla color (in White Orchard, Velen & Novigrad only).
Version 1.1
Brought back a little yellow into the Velen/Novigrad and White Orchard regions as I think I went too far with the initial release.
Version 1.0
Initial Release
INTENDED FOR GAME VERSION 1.32
The sun color is responsible for the yellow tint during the day. Therefore I tried to balance out the colour of the sun during the day by making it a more neutral, whiter shade without tweaking vanilla values too far. I have also reduced the saturation roughly by half to make scenes look more natural. I have left all other settings at their vanilla value, only the sun color during the day and saturation is affected (vegetation color effected as of version 1.2!!). I have made changes only to commonly encountered environments from the main open-world areas of the game, so quest specific areas should remain as they are (except the minor reduction in saturation during most cutscenes). This mod does not remove the tinting added on top for each area (i.e. blue in Novigrad and yellow in Velen)! It is vanilla lighting minus the overly yellow sun and oversaturation. Toussaint remains unaltered.
Specifically what I did was I subtly increased the blue value and reduced the red value of the sun color and then reduced saturation by half. I know almost nothing about color grading or anything of that kinda thing so...here you go! Hopefully it's okay.
