Clear, sharp and more natural

Created by Voltar
Added Feb. 15, 2021
Updated 25 Feb 12:18 CET
Shader used: ReShade
Preset description:
As title say this preset intend to correct shadows, add some contrast and fine sharpness with less saturation and overbrightness for more natural look Preset works only with new versions of ReShade - 4.9+ Shaders: 1) Curves 2) LiftGammaGain 3) AmbientLight 4) Vibrance 5) Clarity2 (please download this one from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hqdT4zIuRgGN8ATrKCxPnNKF6LePcuGs/view?usp=sharing and place downloaded Clarity2.fx to your \reshade-shaders\shaders\ folder inside game. For copyrights - official source of this shader here https://github.com/Mortalitas/GShade/blob/master/Shaders/Clarity2.fx) 6) LumaSharpen 7) Tonemap 8) Vignette 9) ChromaticAberration (Prism.fx) 10) Border P.S. Explanation to question about "Why not using standard Clarity (Clarity.fx) shader from Reshade Installer?": in many games standard Clarity effect very performance-demand and may cost you up to 10-20 FPS (or even more, sometimes) while Clarity2 shader optimized by it author and with proper settings may cost only 2-5 FPS (I have only ~1-3 FPS lost in many games)

Worked perfectly, Voltar. Must've been something wrong with what I downloaded. Can't believe what a great job you did. Damn...lol. Thanks again.

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm using the latest version. I'll try the link you gave and get back to you. Love the preset regardless.

Or maybe some missing strings in downloaded/copypasted file? If so, try to download Clarity2 file from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hqdT4zIuRgGN8ATrKCxPnNKF6LePcuGs/view?usp=sharing (just extracted it from other my 100% working preset). File must be 23 937 bytes

What version of Reshade you have?

Hey, Voltar. So I did as you asked and downloaded the additional Clarity2.fx file and placed it in the shaders folder, but I'm getting the error that it failed to process (or something along those lines). Any suggestions?
