Sharp and natural lighting (performance friendly) Hogwarts Legacy reshade

Mod description

-Replace gray ambient light with sharper natural lighting, while maintaining the spirit of the game.

-Now colors are more "natural"

-I try my best to make the game less foggy

-Lighting sources look more realistic and brighter

-Contrast and luminosity are automatically adjusted according to the scene

This is a reshade preset, i did my best to keep de feeling of Hogwarts Legacy. I didn't want an overcontrasty or saturated reshade like many others.

This reshade has been optimized for the game's default brightness. I recommand set upscal sharpness of the game to 0 in "display option", as it's already corrected by the reshade.

Couldn't find a ReShade I was 100% happy with, so I make my own. I spent hours tweaking it in different locations to make it look good in most situations.

This is my first time on NexusMods, so if you have any problems feel free to report them.

If the preset doesn't match exactly what your looking for, here are some tips for you:

-If windows pop too much for you, you can decrease "bloom_adapt_exposure" of the Bloom shader

-If corners are too dark for you, you can decrease "gamma" of the Tonemap shader

Be careful, because it can change the rendering of other scenes.

My English can be a little clumsy, sorry for that :)
