... a note on bloom:
I've changed my mind and there is NO bloom in this reshade. I hate it. I feel like I'm playing Oblivion with everying shimmering and shining everywhere. No thank you. The lighting in this game is an example of trying to go a bit too far stylistically at the expense of playability, "realism", and how lighting and shadows actually works.
If you'd like to try some bloom settings,
v3
has decent ones, just not great. If you decide to use them, disable bloom in your in-game settings.Disable in-game Bloom <-- Or you'll get double bloom.

[]My ReShade uses MINIMAL bloom and NO bloom adaptation.[/]
[]IF YOU DO want soft, fuzzy bloom ... bump up the Bloom Intensity from . 01 to . 02 ... or go crazy and bump it up to . 03!!! The sky's the limit! Maybe even as high as . 04!?![/]
[]IF YOU DO want both soft, fuzzy bloom AND bloom adaptation, just DISABLE ArchaneBloom.fx in the ReShade settings and enable in-game bloom.[/]
