NOTE: The effects at the screenshots are not as impressive as its in the game !! >>>> Adjust general Brightness via your Display, Gamma in game or via graphic-driver settings. . Nvidia driver changes for me: Contrast +60 %, digital color corretion: +60 %. . . Screenshots from FINAL VERSION (even with RadeponPro and Windows 8.1) . .

@optyk
I was trying to reduce red too in my preset, but if brownish turns to white then green turns to teal and blue to extreme blue :) Like in swamps location.
So I ended up with a common config that makes picture more contrast:

Nice preset, takes away a little too much red when its needed tho in certain areas.

example: Hissing Wastes is supposed to have a red/rust/brownish tone to it because of the region. This preset makes it all blue and clear which is more of a Storm Coast / Haven / Winter atmosphere.

Sharpness/brightness is overall good, its not overbearing like some other presets. I'll probably turn this on and off depending on what zone I'm in. =)

Change txt, import to RadeonPro, restart the game - it will take ages to create you own preset and I always use my own.
I've made it without DPX and levels anyway)

You have to use this injector:
.
http://www.share-online.biz/dl/S663PIGN5V6
.
All is working fine, just import it and DO NOT set/change the vauales via RadeonPro.
.
Dont care of the values displayed in RadeonPro. If you want to change something, you have to set it in the preset-file and import it again.

White point in Levels is also broken, it resets to max 100. SweetFX config implementation is very buggy in RadeonPro and this utility is no longer updated, so we are stuck with broken effects...

Mikanoshi

Such presets will not work in RadeonPro as they should.
It doesn't know Curves_mode 3 and Cineon DPX is completely broken in RadeonPro because devs messed up the min and max values.

@Raztaman: Please follow the EXACT introductions here: http://www.hb-studios.com/forum/index.php?topic=4858.0
.
Make sure you have checked ENABLE SWEET-FX in the DA:I game profil in RadeonPro.
.
Use the correct injector and install it in an other location than the game !

I'm using Windows 8.1 and so having to use RadeonPro, but no matter what files and preset I use the effect just won't apply in-game even though I can toggle sweetfx on and off... Any help please?

Thx for your encouragement. It was a hard work to get it looking nealy good for different places. I know that there is some much blue but...this is worth getting the too red saturated areas away and it does not bothering me that much like the fire-red.... Im satisfied with it since today on several places! Good to know that this work wasnt only for me a good deal :-)
