Preset for Diablo III
Created by Banzaichigau
Added March 25, 2013
Shader used: SweetFX 1.3
Preset description:
Removed a lot of blue from the game using tonemap, and adjusted the rest of the colors to give it a more realistic less saturated look. Slightly darker shadows so interior dungeons look a bit darker and the "light radius" from the character looks more noticeable. Used some negative vibrance to desaturate a bit all the colors in general, so it looks kinda more realistic. Keep in mind these settings look fine on my monitor, with my brightness / contrast settings, they may look a bit different on yours. Also, on nvidia control panel, my digital vibrance settings are at 40%, you may want to adjust that a bit or even sweetfx's vibrance to suit your taste better. Feel free to adjust the sharpening as well to your desires, I just use what looks fine on my screen, without making the text too artifacted.

I must say I really like this one. It does look realistic, with blue tint removed, and I like that the colors are not oversaturated/vibrant, like in most other presets. Also, it's not overly dark (I have a monitor with really big contrast), so I don't have to mess with gamma/brightness in order to feel right...really balanced look. Great job!
