Essential ReShade - A giant leap in picture quality

Version 1. 1 (Brighter):

• Added Tonemap exposure to bump up highlights

• Increased Vibrance

• Reduced Lumasharpen a little

• Sorted shaders properly this time

For those who believe that most ENB/SweetFX/ReShade pesets are over the top.

Essential ReShade uses 3 shaders: Tonemap, Vibrance and Lumasharpen. This improves your in-game vision quality, makes shadows deeper and brings back color variation.

Honestly, I am still surprised by how washed out Fallout 4 looks like out-of-the-box. All the rich detail and unique art style of this game is lost in a watered down, blurry image.

Fun trick: Play with this preset for an hour, then toggle it off for a moment — you'll feel the urge to rub your eyes!

1) Download ReShade installer and run it -- https://reshade.me/

2) Browse to find your Fallout4.exe and open

3) Select Direct3D 10/11/12

4) Uncheck All > OK

5) Again, Uncheck All > OK

6) Close. Now unpack my archive into the game directory and 'Replace all' (only ReShade.ini gets replaced).

7) Run the game.

activates ReShade window at any time.

+ toggles all effects.

There's a tiny FPS meter in the upper right corner. I generally keep it on, but you can turn it off in ReShade settings tab if you wanna.

PS: Green grass on the screenshots is TrueGrass. I recommend this mod, because the original dead yellow grass just doesn't cut it.
