📋 About This Mod

Erika's DAI ReShade Presets

What began as a small project to upload a preset I made several years ago that fixes the white balance issues the game has, has now multiplied into a variety of looks for DAI. Have a look at the shots, and pick one that suits your purposes. Note that all shots have been altered a bit (not much) with Hattiwatti's Cinematic Tools.

Preset Descriptions:

Each preset now comes with a version for prod's tint remover shader, which will remove the overall tint from any game. It is a bit finicky, and I don't necessarily recommend it for gameplay, as sometimes it will act a bit odd. But it required altering the presets a bit for when it was on, which evolved into separate versions. Use whichever you prefer.

Realistic, Cinematic, Fantasy: These are all fairly similar, as you can see. Their main purpose was to correct the white balance of the game, and add some bloom and sharpening. Realistic is the most desaturated, Cinematic is the most saturated. Fantasy is in between, but is brighter. CInematic is the darkest, with the most skin detail. Fantasy and Realistic look very similar in places, and very different in others. See shots for comparison.

Filmic Teal-Orange: Somewhat self-explanatory. A teal-orange palette, fairly saturated, orange skin-tones with quite a bit of detail. With the tint remover the lighter skin tones are often quite pale, as it seems to remove pink tones from the skin.

Sylvan and Dutch School: Both of these are fairly reddish with purple shadows, and reddish skintones, but the Dutch is overall more reddish and has teal blues, whereas Sylvan's blues are heavily desaturated.

Threadbare: A teal-gold palette, dark shadows, teals are more towards green than in the Filmic Teal-Orange preset, yellow skin-tones.

Bleak: A very desaturated, very blue preset with very bright white highlights, desaturated skintones

New Bleak: This is very similar to Bleak, but less foggy. Uses a different LUT that was a free LUT from Lutify.me. It is part of a MultiLUT and I recommend trying some of the others, some look quite good with the Realistic, Fantasy, or Cinematic.

War Torn: B&W, super grainy, with chromatic aberration for photographic effect, has quite dark shadows, and now a chromatic aberration as part of bloom that adds some swathes of color to the image. See the shots for examples.

The images below are just examples. Full comparison shots in most areas are available in the mod images section. Note that in the labels, "TR" stands for "tint remover."
