For this ReShade I wanted to achieve a simulated High Dynamic Range (HDR) look. I aimed to give the game higher quality while enhancing the game’s colors and lighting for a more realistic and lifelike appearance. All color casting and tinting that is usually present in Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) has been completely removed which naturally enhances the games colors and contrast. If you notice some weird flickering in the top left corner of the screen that is due to the shader RadiantGI. I’m not sure what causes it but it has been an issue in the game for a long time now.
The shaders that were used in this preset from top to bottom in the shaders list are:

* When viewing ReShade comparisons it’s very helpful to use the greater than and less than keys located between the M and / keys to view a frame by frame shot. That way you don’t have to keep repeating the same scene.
I have provided 7 different quality presets to choose from. Each with a gradual change in quality and performance. Performance will vary depending on hardware, in game graphics settings, resolution, and which quality preset is selected. So try out different quality presets and adjust graphics settings accordingly to see what works best for you. You should also enable performance mode located at the bottom right corner of the ReShade window to help with performance. The different quality presets are:
#1 Extreme
#2 Ultra
#3 Very High
#4 High
#5 Medium
#6 Low
#7 Very Low
