About this mod

Another reshade preset.
0.5 is for Reduced LUTs - Cleaner Colors, lut_25, except the 20 New Atlantis LUT files which come from lut_0 (for both - use NON contrast ones).
Does: Contrast, a bit bluer, brighter highlights, vibrant.
Significant performance hit (2-6 fps on a 3080 at 2k).
See images tab for 0.5 screen comparisons.

Requirements: meant to be used with Reduced LUTs - Cleaner Colors lut_25 non-contrast for everything but the twenty new atlantis LUTs, for which I'm using lut_0 non-contrast. Can also try SGS's LUTs - Strengversion or with fadingsignal's Neutral Color LUTs for 0.5 or earlier versions.

Needs to be used with the Reshade app from Reshade.me, which you should install to the Starfield game folder where Starfield.exe is located.

Bloom settings I'm using (goes in StarfieldCustom.ini usually stored in My Documents>My Games>Starfield):

[Display]
bEnableNewBloom=1
fBloomGaussianKernelMinScale=0.2
fBloomGaussianKernelPower=1.6
fBloomUpsampleBlendFactor=0.48
fNewBloomAmountScale=0.1
fLegacyBloomAmountScale=0.3

Goals:
stronger highlights/brights, some more contrast, a bit bluer, more vibrance.



As of 0.5, the only up to date visuals are in the images tab, videos and screenshots in the description are of older versions. May eventually do new ones.

Screenshots below are from old version 0.1 but this should at least give a sense of the look I'm going for (to see the difference more easily, open each image in fullscreen and switch back and forth or separate windows side by side):

Troubleshooting
:
Providing this as is, please don't expect much or any support or troubleshooting from me.


(Some) Downsides: Significant performance hit - I've seen a 2-6 FPS loss on a 10600k, 32gb 3200MHz RAM, 3080 12GB at 1440p with DLSS@80% resolution scale and mostly medium settings (see screenshot for specific settings).

Your mileage may vary depending on your system specs/settings.


There'll be some detail loss in the very bright areas, not sure how to avoid that. Should be mostly minimal.



More details re: Shaders - make sure the following shaders are installed at least:

[email protected],
prod80_03_Shadows_Midtones_Highlights@PD80_03_Shadows_Midtones_Highlights.fx,
[email protected],
[email protected],
prod80_03_CurvedLevels@PD80_03_Curved_Levels.fx,
[email protected],
prod80_03_FilmicTonemap@PD80_03_Filmic_Adaptation.fx,
prod80_04_SelectiveColor@PD80_04_Selective_Color.fx

Shader location: The shaders above might be in individual folders within the reshade-shaders folder after installation.
If some of the shaders don't load when you're in game and it doesn't look right or there's an error message, make sure the shaders being used (above list) are copied into the reshade-shaders folder itself.  That reshade-shaders folder should be installed in the Starfield folder where Starfield.exe is.
