📋 About This Mod
INTRODUCTION
Hello and welcome to my newest reshade preset for Phantom Liberty. Two separate presets for vanilla lighting and for the Natural Californian Lighting Mod (NCLM).
SHADERS
Update: Now separate preset for vanilla lighting.
Update Vanilla 1. 1: Less crushed blacks and whites.
VANILLA: If you are not a fan of too much yellow light and too dark shadows, this one is for you. Best used with Path tracing. Darker, colder (blueish, grayish), less saturated, less contrasted look.
NCLM: Lightroom, CAS sharpening and various Bloom effects. Overall colder and less saturated look.
After download you can freely customize the presets, turn off and on shaders of your taste.(sharpening, etc.)
Attention: Please bear in mind that this preset was created and tested in high resolution (3440x1440, 5160x2160), high graphics gaming with RTX 4090 and Ryzen 5800X3D. The pictures and videos clearly shows how it looks on my end. Playing in 1080p resolution with mid-low graphics settings you might get other visual experience.

- Simple visual tweak that doesn't require heavy performance hits.
⚠️ Cons
