Shades of Faerun - ReShade Presets

UPDATE 10/16/2023

Storybook has been updated to 2. 0; the Bloom filter has been replaced with LUT/Tonemapping filters to improve UI experience. Please re-download and drop the updated files into your bin folder.

What does this do?

There are three versions to pick from each with different goals in mind. All can be installed and alternated between freely. Please see example images for each preset in Images tab labeled by their preset name. 

Maintain the original feel of the vanilla game while enhancing shadows and sharpening texture details. Caves and dungeons can be slightly darker, and light sources have more impact. Colors are not drastically altered with the exception of green tones which have been slightly leveled out to mitigate the vanilla game's green tint, resulting in more realistic green tones in nature areas. The UI is minimally impacted by these changes, and if anything, actually may be easier to read/see due to increased contrast.Make the world more colorful and whimsical with a dreamy fantasy palette. Environments, clothing, spells, skin tones, etc. are much more vibrant making the world intriguing to explore. Most areas, especially dark environments, are brighter and smaller details that weren't as noticeable before are more pronounced. The UI is minimally impacted.Create a more cinematic experience for the world. Scenes have been color graded to be slightly warmer, desaturated tones and contrast has been adjusted to darken shadows and fine details resulting in more atmospheric lighting and detailed landscapes in the distance. Sharpening is noticeably increased compared to the other two presets to improve texture detail for up-close shots. The UI is minimally impacted by these changes; recommended for mid to high end PCs.

All Presets: Optional Depth of Field (DOF) is bound to the F10 key and will enable when hiding the UI in-game (F10 is the default keybind to hide UI in-game; you can remove this keybind in ReShade to deactivate this effect if you will not use it).

Willow: Optional Widescreen Border bound to F10 key and will enable with the DOF effect when hiding the UI in-game. Can be deactivated by removing the keybind in ReShade.
