                FAQ

                []The game appears dull. Is this even HDR? - By default, RenoDX is configured to match Vanilla SDR. From there you can tweak to your liking. For a more "HDR" appearance, try Contrast 80, Saturation 80, and Blowout 80.

                [*]How is this any better than (insert other HDR process)? - The engine has been rewritten and resources upgraded from 8-bit SDR to 16-bit HDR. The source to create the image is not the SDR image, but the raw image before the game converts it
