📋 About This Mod

!!Important!!

The new version of Edge LUT supports HDR, so this ReShade preset is not really required for using the LUT on HDR displays.

But I'm leaving it here in case it's still useful to some folks.

Instructions (applicable if you're using the non-HDR version of the LUT; not sure how it interacts with the new HDR version) -

  • []Download and install CyanideX's Edge LUT (Washed variant)

    []Edge LUT works best with overcast weather. Download and install Edge LUT - Weather Only ENV if you want permanently overcast weather, OR you could use another ENV like GITS Fuji ENV (IMPORTANT: Only use one of the ENV options and not the AIO with GITS LUT as it will override Edge LUT unless you fix priority) and use Weathermancer to set the weather to heavy clouds. I have tested it with GITS ENV, and the ReShade preset works well with little to no tweaks needed.

    []Install ReShade and select all effects/shaders to keep it simple.

    []Paste this preset file in your game folder.

    []Load it and tweak the settings as needed. I have created it for my LG G2 (peak at around 1000-1100nits). With Edge Weather Only ENV, my in-game max brightness is 1800, and the tone mapping midpoint is 2. 5. With GITS Fuji Basic ENV, I turn down the in-game max brightness to around 1400. You can change the in-game max brightness and mid-point to make it work for your HDR screen’s peak brightness. Use the HDR analysis tool in ReShade (the preset shortcut to enable it is '+') to measure your max nits.

    []Shaders details - Lightroom does most of the work here. I have tried my best to let the LUT inform all the colour values and only changed settings needed to fix the levels for HDR. PD 03 Curved Levels is for black floor fixing, so you can have perfect blacks on your OLED. Cinematic DOF is optional, and you can use or turn it off. I prefer CAS for sharpening, so I've used it here, but this, too, is optional, and you may keep it or disable it.

    []I have added shortcuts for turning on/off the individual shaders and auto-focus for Cinematic DOF. Do take note of these and change/remove them if needed.

Notes -

[]Some of the gallery images may appear a bit TOO overexposed (more than what the desired look requires). That is only because of the conversion from HDR JXR images to SDR PNGs. As long as your peak brightness is close to your screen's specs, it will look fine in-game.

[*]Cinematic DOF may not be ideal for serious gameplay, depending on your preferences. It's best used for taking pretty screenshots or when you're only driving/walking around and taking in the sights and sounds. Auto-focus enabled will also cause the map to blur out when zooming in and out. Use shortcuts to enable/disable DOF, auto-focus on the fly, or disable the effect en
