Dawnfrost Reshade

THIS RESHADE HAS 2 OPTIONS THAT ARE EXPLAINED BELOW(choose only one):

DAWNFROST

This is the base option. It emphasizes on taking the minimum amount of performance while looking very good.

Too much presets make use of modules such as Lightroom or Ambient_Remove even if it takes too much of a performance hit for what they do, so to make it less of a burden this reshade uses a simple LUT, which is made to take off the yellow tint without taking any performance hit.

To make the shadows look deeper and separate them more from the midtones and hightlights without using any simulated RT module with the performance hit it would make, I used a module wich can control these three individually, which I setted them up in a way that it looks like it without obscuring or erasing any type of detail.

I had some problems with the brightness of the game, where there are zones which are very bright and zones that are the opposite, so to control that I have added and adjusted a dinamic tonemap to balance this scenarios.

The final adjustment is a layer of a sharpener, wich hides the smoothness of the game's TAA implementation(I've also tested it on the various upscalers and their own implementation). It makes the makes the scene much more clear without oversharpening the image, which would make it unwatchable.

This preset is also FrameGen-Friendly.

This all, at least on my *PC, makes for a loss of only 2-3 FPSs.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS PRESET:

As this preset adds its own sharpening layer, you should disable the game's sharpening in Options -> Graphics -> Sharpening, bringing the slider to 0. If you do not do this, the game will look oversharpened.

It is also recommended that you set the game's contrast and brightness to their default values, so they do not interfere with the looks that this preset intends to have.

This is the enhanced option. It makes everything that the base does but with a few tweaks and adds a very optimized and well looking MXAO, which it adds shadows where the game lacks them. It also makes an emphasis on the game's performance. It also adds a pretty light vignette effect.
