Photorealistic Preset
Photorealistic or Vivid Color Grading w/ a Focus on Cinematic Lighting, w/OPTIONAL Balanced Camera Lens Effects
by TheMercsAssassin
Vivid Preset
WHAT IS THIS?
This is a collection of two ReShade presets, one which aims for a photorealistic look and the other is a vivid option, both include well-crafted optional cinematic effects including depth-of-field, film grain, letterbox, chromatic aberration, vignette, and camera lens emulation. The effects have been optimized to not interfere with combat/traversal. Lighting has been redone for a more punchy and less dull image space. Darkness and night have been tested to ensure things aren't so dark as to impede gameplay. The torch is actually useful now. Performance friendly, no FPS-crippling RTGI required.
I hope you really enjoy this and I would love to see your screenshots or videos using it! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. And if you like my work, please endorse as it helps others find it and, more importantly, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I'll love you forever.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Install ReShade first, then drop these preset files into the Elden Ring game folder where ReShade looks for presets.
- Use the in-game ReShade overlay (Home key) to toggle effects and see which preset suits your system's performance.
- If the game updates, check for ReShade updates too — old versions can break with new patches.
