The Grim and Somber ENB collection of presets are fantasy and vintage based ENB's with a focus on a dramatic lighting with an intense atmosphere and mood. Do not look for a lot of realism in these ENB's as that is not the goal or aim behind them. A short summary of each one follows the instructions.

Summary of Presets

Azura previously known as Grim and Somber Enchanted Next Generation, is a very bright fantasy based ENB using all modern shaders and effects.  Nights are bright and tinted for a strong fantasy feel. Days are crisp and colorful without being over-saturated.  Azura is the most current preset offered. Works with current binary, weathers, and requires ENB  Helper DLL.

Jyggalag this preset is the original Somber Antique (Beta 199) updated to the current ENB binary and tweaked by myself. Jyggalag relies on some extreme bloom settings and has a strong warm fantasy feel to it. Works with 434 binary (do not use any binary above 467) if using the Dark Dungeons for ENB mod. Does not support weathers, do not use ENB Helper DLL with it. The original version is available under the misc. files.

Malacath is a very customized Grim and Somber preset and while the shaders and palette belong to Tansarville (tali) all the tweaking has been done by myself and hence I consider it to be a bit of an outcast from the reset of the presets.  It has new bloom settings along with all new shader code.  It has custom weathers and is somewhat more saturated, with a touch more contrast, then the other presets.  Works with current binary, weathers, and requires ENB  Helper DLL.

Sheogorath is the original classic from Somber Wintage 35mm Resurrected, has been unchanged and runs on binary 221. This preset has wild colors, intense lights mixed with desaturated tones, film flares and a crazy DOF.  It is at times colorful and bright yet at others dim and dark. Note that it requires an old version of SweetFX (which I can't get to run on Win11) and only on binary 221. It does not support weathers or ENB Helper, requires the Dark Dungeons for ENB mod, and is under the misc. files.

Vaermina is previously known as Somber Lut Sepia, and has been tweaked from ENB version 221 to be made compatible with current binaries, added some polish, and create a slightly new look.  It has a yellow-green tint, bright bloom that can look awesome in some places but creates a nova light in others. It has a rat
