Chill's ToS Reshade v1.1
Preset description:
Summary
Looking for a richer, more cinematic experience for Tales of Symphonia? Look no further! This is my first ReShade I'm releasing to the community, and I hope it is one that you all enjoy. While I tend to be more subtle with many of my Reshades, with this one I wanted to amp things up a bit.
This ReShade was tested and designed with Kaldaien's TSFix along with texture DLCs in 4k.
https://github.com/Kaldaien/TSF/releases
I highly recommend this for an optimal experience!
Important Note
Please note that I select shaders and their settings based on each individual game I create a Reshade for. This takes time, and I hope my efforts show. It seems common for many creators to reuse the same Reshade across games regardless of art style, mood or setting.
Please feel free to take a moment to checkout my other Reshades if you have a moment!

Required Shaders
Note that the instructions provide guidance on downloading these shaders. Downloading only the necessary shaders will help guarantee additional game performance.
-AdaptiveSharpen
-AmbientLight
-BloomAndLensFlares
-Clarity
-Colourfulness
-Curves
-Emphasize
-FXAA
-GaussianBlur
-Levels
-LumaSharpen
-SMAA
-Tonemap
-Vibrance
Installation
1. Download Download the ReShade installer from https://reshade.me and run it.
2.Select TOS.exe (\%SteamDirectory%\steamapps\common\Tales of Symphonia) and click on the pre-selected graphics API (Direct X 9).
3.Confirm the installation of standard shaders when the installer's pop-up message opens, and install the following shaders: AdaptiveSharpen,AmbientLight,BloomAndLensFlares,Clarity,Colourfulness,Curves,Emphasize,FXAA,GaussianBlur,Levels,LumaSharpen,SMAA,Tonemap,Vibrance
4.Download this preset by hitting the button below, and rename the file to "YOUR_PRESET_NAME.ini". The most important part is changing the ".txt" file to ."ini."
5.Run Tales of Symphonia; be patient as the game can take longer to load all of the ReShade shaders.
6.Open ReShade menu with "Shift+F2" and use the drop down menu to select the .ini file you just put in your bin folder. Keep hitting the continue button until the boxes turn from red to grey/clear.
7.If you are happy with the settings, Click on the Settings tab.
8.Navigate to Usage Mode and change to Performance. This will ensure the best possible performance for low-end systems while running ReShade
Notes and Known Issues
~ The ambient lighting and bloom settings will brighten some menus in favor of the in-world lighting. Feel free to turn this off if it bothers you. I will look to modify the tolerance in future versions; this was my first Reshade, and I'm learning quickly!
Performance
While I design and test all of my Reshades with performance in-mind, my hardware settings and resolutions may differ from yours. While mood is important, framerate should be the most important if you are a true gamer. Nothing will be "one size fits all", so play around and find the right compromise of performance and quality.
My PC Hardware: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/iChillum/saved/#view=dkYLD3
~ At the time of this Reshade release, I was using a EVGA GTX 980 SC
~ CPU is overclocked to 4.8GHz Turbo speed, and CPU cores are unparked.
