Phasmo Quality Redux
Preset description:
A Preset improving colors, contrast and clarity, making the game look sharper and bright and dark areas look better.
Made on a MSI Optix MAG27CQ (Panel: VA (SVA) | Gamma: 2.2 | Mode: Default | Mid-High brightness | contrast and colors at 50)
How to use:
Install ReShade for the game (Renderer: Direct X 10/11/12)
Include all the effects packages (because I have no idea which effects I used belong to which package)
Open the game
Open the ReShade overlay
Navigate to the path where you saved the preset and select it.
If you do not like
- The subtle lens flare [UnrealLens.fx]
- The shimmering lens thing on bright highlights [Flair.fx]
- The Chromatic Aberration used by this preset [Prism.fx]
Feel free to turn them off.
Ingame settings:
Brightess: around 2.7 (the preset makes the game a bit darker overall and is meant for a relatively high monitor brightness)
Chromatic Aberration: OFF
Film Grain: OFF
other settings feel free to keep as you like
Caveats:
Correct Color may overcorrect a little when DOTS are present, possibly giving the game a subtle purple tint.
Update note: I removed Perfect Perspective. A bit too much of a hassle and I also noticed that just reducing my FoV slightly achieves a similar goal.
What each effect does:
[PD80_01B_RT_Correct_Color.fx] - Real time automatic color correction that adapts based on what's on screen.
[SMAA.fx] - Anti Aliasing to make edges look slightly less pixelated.
[Deband.fx] - Supposed to improve the transitions within smooth color gradients. Barely noticable, not actually sure if it does anything.
[CAS.fx] - Makes the image look a tiny bit sharper.
[ColorIsolation.fx] - Set to slightly reduce the saturation of blue, purple and red colors because they were a bit overblown by the rest of the setup.
[DPX.fx] - Idk exactly what this does but it slightly improves colors and brightness.
[FilmicAnamorphicSharpen.fx] - Another sharpening pass. Kinda been liking this one.
[Clarity.fx] - Idk how exactly it works but it slightly improves visibility, making stuff stand out a tiny bit more.
[EyeAdaption.fx] - Keeps bright things from getting too bright.
[UnrealLens.fx] - Adds a slight lens flare when looking at very bright things.
[Flair.fx] - Adds a sort of glittering shimmer to very bright highlights.
[FakeHDR.fx] - Greatly increases color contrast.
[Curves.fx] - Improves contrast, particularly on dark and mid tones
[Vibrance.fx] - Improves colors
[Prism.fx] - Chromatic Aberration as you may know from the ingame effect, but much more subtle and less ugly.
[Vignette.fx] - Very subtle darkening on the screen corners
[PD80_06_Film_Grain.fx] - Adds film grain (noise) in dark areas. Very subtle but it adds to the game's mood.
