Clarity and Color Accuracy Preset

_____________________________________________

A custom tuning of the preset template I use for most games (see my profile for examples). They are all individually tweaked per game but possess the same fundamental visual philosophy. The idea is to roughly preserve the color choices that the developers made but to sharpen the image, clear up blurriness, and bring out the potential depth of the colors.

Please see these A/B examples:

Certain scenes may feel slightly too bright depending on scene lighting; if it is bothersome, disable the Contrast_Brightness_Saturation shader for those scenes.

Installation Instructions:

1. Download the reshade installer at https://reshade.me

2. Install reshade with your SparkingZERO-Win64-Shipping.exe selected (when the prompt with a list of shaders appears with checkboxes, I recommend checking them all - but you don't have to)

3. Download the Preset1 file (& reshade-shaders.rar if you didn't install them during reshade installation)

4. Place the Preset1 file into the same directory that your SparkingZERO-Win64-Shipping.exe is in (& and drag the shaders in the reshade-shaders folder from here into your own reshade-shaders folder in the game's directory)

5. After starting the game and waiting for the shaders to load, press the Home key to set a toggle key in the Settings menu (I use F10) and to select the preset from the dropdown menu in the main reshade screen
