A ReShade fixing the bleak, desaturated visuals of the game to make it look more like it's from the first HP movies.
This is a preset I've created for myself, to enhance my HL experience. It's been tested in various environments and against all skin tones, so everything should be clearly visible, without altering too much the feeling of the menu as well.
No fps drop - it's a detailed levels/contrast/temperature/tint fix, no extra effects added.
