📋 About This Mod

I was inspired by "disable sharpening" mod for Elden Ring created by Ujard and for this I want to thank him a lot for his mod.

So I did it for Sekiro.

(Only for Who Want Modding)

Tool used: Yabber

(https://github.com/JKAnderson/Yabber)

I used Yabber. DCX.exe to extract gxposteffect.shaderbnd.dcx, obtaining gxposteffect.shaderbnd.

And I extract it using Yabber.exe getting gxposteffect-shaderbnd folder with content.

Inside i replaced SharpenFilter.ppo with DLAA.ppo (simply name change; I deleted SharpenFilter, did a copy of DLAA that i named SharpenFilter)
