Added Nov. 28, 2016

Updated 3 Feb 16:16 CET

Shader used: ReShade

Preset description:

Trying to stay true to the original color palettes and tone in every type of location (Indoors, outdoors, sunny environment or dark and rainy) without it looking out of place, discolored, too dark or too bright but most importantly making the image much clearer and giving a subtle but important boost to the overall lighting and atmosphere. INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Install Reshade: https://reshade.me/ 2) Navigate to your Dishonored2.exe location (...Steam\steamapps\common\Dishonored2) 3) Choose DX10 and download suggested shaders (Technicolor2, Lumasharpen, Vibrance, Clarity, AdaptiveSharpen) 4) Download this .ini text file: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=06252882847518760536 5) Place Enhanced_Clarity.ini in your Dishonored 2 main folder (...Steam\steamapps\common\Dishonored2) 6) Start the game > Press SHIFT+F2 > Go to the Home tab > Add the .ini via the + button > Go to Settings and add an Effects Toggle Key > Exit menu and press the key in-game to see the applied effect. (In this menu you can also alter the effects to your liking, such as reduce sharpness, make it darker, etc.) 7) Instructions above in images: http://i.imgur.com/oFn2Oho.jpg - http://i.imgur.com/tmHPxvg.jpg My Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/1130amFebruary24th/ Watch the images below in fullscreen for the best comparison

Seems to be the best ReShade preset so far. Just wanted to thank you for the detailed description. There are always beginners who don't know to get things working.
