Permissions and credits
//*X-Reborn-4k by drolhcet*//
   still XR 64-bit tested on 4.10
   Using Windows-10 Pro latest.

Techniques=FXAA,Curves,Deband,Levels,LUT,Vibrance,LumaSharpen

*NOW USES 4k LUT (64x64) from original 4096x64 file.

-Same mostly as below just made it work with latest ReShade-3.0.7 for April,19,2017 XR update.

-Fonts seem to be improved with better UI scaling in higher resolutions in 4.10 but still prefer my shading enhancements.

-Old version still works as well.

*** OLD NOTES ***

//*X-Reborn 2k by drolhcet*// -
     for X Rebirth 4.0 64-bit
    Tested on Windows-7 Pro

A modern ReShade to subtlety improve the visuals while attempting to make the HUD font more readable. A performance drop should be expected but be very low, oddly enough most settings made little to no difference overall for fps. However I think the sacrifice is worth the better visuals and this can be toggled on or off as needed (default "Scroll Lock".) I mostly get the same with or without so I feel this is very PERFORMANCE friendly, but I can only assess for my own machine. I have also found that changing in-game settings then restarting the game helps fix lower than expected performance after making changes, even possibly a PC reboot to clear caches. *Looks much better ingame users can add screenshots!*

What's been done?

-using ReShade Framework 1.1.0
*Package* only includes effects used.
------------------
EFFECTS used:
------------------
Color LUT Settings - 2k_LUT.png (resized for performance) richer colors better shading.
   4k_LUT.png is included for those that wish to use it, needs to be set to 4096x64 in CustomFX.cfg
SMAA - Helps with Font
BLOOM - Brightens Font
HDR - For darkness/lightness Settings.
LUMASHARPEN - Sharper Images, less washed out, depth clarity.
LEVELS - True Blacks and Brighter Whites.
DITHER - Mostly for simulating more colors, and reducing banding artifacts.

---------------------
IN-GAME Settings: For Best Performance, your results may vary.
---------------------
AA = 0x - Not needed with SMAA. FXAA if enabled.
V-Sync = Off - (Game suffers from lag issues), run game in Bordeless Window or "ForceON" in Videodriver.
Shadows = Off - (Biggest performance hit.)
Soft Shadows = Off - (Not needed if shadows is off.)
SSAO = Off or On - (Small performance hit if enabled.)

---------------------------
VIDEODRIVER Settings: For Best Performance, your results may vary.
---------------------------
Anistrophy = 2x Performance
TripleBuffering = Off or On if using Vsync (helps with some cards.)

------------------ *Use with Caution!*
TASKMANAGER: Can also set XRebirth.exe to AboveNormal or HIGH. Shouldn't really have a huge impact on tweaked systems.
------------------ *Use with Caution!*

*Recommended* extensions/mods - optional but these are used in my screenshots.
