Game: Any
SweetFX version: 1.4
Author: CeeJay.dk
Description:
These are the default settings for SweetFX 1.4
They smoothen jagged edges with SMAA anti-aliasing, sharpen the
image with LumaSharpen and make the colors slightly more vibrant
with Vibrance.
Please note when tweaking settings that higher numbers does not
always equal better (nor does lower).
Finding the best settings for your game and your taste is about
finding just the right amount to apply.
If you made a good setttings preset please share it with your
friends, on forums and websites,
and/or submit it to the SweetFX Settings Database :

// Set to 1 for ON or 0 for OFF
#define USE_SMAA_ANTIALIASING 1 //[0 or 1] SMAA Anti-aliasing :
Smoothens jagged lines using the SMAA technique.
#define USE_FXAA_ANTIALIASING 0 //[0 or 1] FXAA Anti-aliasing :
Smoothens jagged lines using the FXAA technique. WIP - Currently
only works in DX9 and you need to use the FXAA injector dlls.
#define USE_CARTOON 0 //[0 or 1] Cartoon : "Toon"s the image.
(Interferes with SMAA, CRT, Bloom, HDR and Lumasharpen)
#define USE_ADVANCED_CRT 0 //[0 or 1] Advanced CRT : Simulates an
old CRT TV display. (Interferes with SMAA, Cartoon, Bloom, HDR and
Lumasharpen, and it has a very high performance cost)
#define USE_BLOOM 1 //[0 or 1] Bloom : Makes bright lights
bleed their light into their surroundings (relatively high
performance cost)
#define USE_HDR 1 //[0 or 1] HDR : Not actual HDR - It
just tries to mimic an HDR look (relatively high performance cost)
#define USE_LUMASHARPEN 1 //[0 or 1] LumaSharpen : Also sharpens
the antialiased edges which makes them less smooth - I'm working on
fixing that.
#define USE_TECHNICOLOR 0 //[0 or 1] TECHNICOLOR : Attempts to
mimic the look of an old movie using the Technicolor three-strip
color process (Techicolor Process 4)
#define USE_DPX 0 //[0 or 1] Cineon DPX : Should make the
image look like it's been converted to DXP Cineon - basically it's
another movie-like look similar to technicolor.
#define USE_MONOCHROME 0 //[0 or 1] Monochrome : Monochrome makes
the colors disappear.
#define USE_LIFTGAMMAGAIN 0 //[0 or 1] Lift Gamma Gain : Adjust
brightness and color of shadows, midtones and highlights (avoids
clipping)
#define USE_TONEMAP 1 //[0 or 1] Tonemap : Adjust gamma,
exposure, saturation, bleach and defog. (may cause clipping)
#define USE_VIBRANCE 1 //[0 or 1] Vibrance : Intelligently
saturates (or desaturates if you use negative values) the pixels
depending on their original saturation.
#define USE_CURVES 1 //[0 or 1] Curves : Contrast adjustments
using S-curves.
#define USE_SEPIA 0 //[0 or 1] Sepia : Sepia tones the
image.
#define USE_VIGNETTE 0 //[0 or 1] Vignette : Darkens the edges
of the image to make it look more like it was shot with a camera
lens. May cause banding artifacts.
#define USE_DITHER 0 //[0 or 1] Dither : Applies dithering to
simulate more colors than your monitor can display. This lessens
banding artifacts (mostly caused by Vignette)
#define USE_BORDER 0 //[0 or 1] Border : Makes the screenedge
black as a workaround for the bright edge that forcing some AA modes
sometimes causes.
#define USE_SPLITSCREEN 0 //[0 or 1] Splitscreen : Enables the
before-and-after splitscreen comparison mode.

#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS_DIAG 6 //[0 to 16] Determines the
radius SMAA will search for diagonal aliased edges
#define SMAA_CORNER_ROUNDING 0 //[0 to 100] Determines the
percent of antialiasing to apply to corners. 0 seems to affect fine
text the least so it's the default.
// -- Advanced SMAA settings --
#define COLOR_EDGE_DETECTION 1 //[0 or 1] 1 Enables color
edge detection (slower but slightly more acurate) - 0 uses luma edge
detection (faster)
#define SMAA_DIRECTX9_LINEAR_BLEND 0 //[0 or 1] Using DX9 HARDWARE?
(software version doesn't matter) if so this needs to be 1 - If not,
leave it at 0.

a Geforce 7xxx series or older card, or a Radeon X1xxx series or
older card.
