📋 About This Mod

Aerix LUT — Photorealism

Aerix is a custom, photo-realistic LUT made specifically to enhance the visual presentation of Cyberpunk 2077. Rather than pushing a neon or stylized aesthetic, this LUT focuses on true-to-life color accuracy, clean contrast, and natural highlights for a more immersive gameplay and screenshot experience. Its goal is to make Night City feel more like real photography, with subtle cinematic depth that respects the original engine lighting.

Key Features :

ACES-based color grading

Natural, photorealistic look

Clean, balanced contrast

Preserves original lighting

Great for gameplay & screenshots

Consistent across all conditions

Installation :

Simply drag and drop archive folder into the root folder

Compatibility :

Compatible with HDR

Compatible with LUT Switcher 3

Not compatible with other LUTs

Color Science :

Aerix is built and calibrated within the ACES (Academy Color Encoding System) colorspace, the industry-standard workflow used in professional film and photography color grading. This means color transforms are handled with a much wider gamut and more accurate tonal response than a standard sRGB-based LUT, resulting in smoother highlight roll-off, more natural skin tones, and richer shadow detail without clipping or banding. The end result is a grade that behaves the way real camera footage does, rather than a flat color filter slapped on top of the image.

FAQ :

Q: Does this affect performance?

A: No. LUTs are applied as a post-processing color transform and have no meaningful impact on FPS.

Q: Can I use this alongside ReShade or other visual mods?

A: Yes, as long as those mods don't apply their own conflicting LUT or color grading pass.
