Visual Tweaker

What this mod does

• []Allows changing strength of brightness, contrast, saturation, bloom, and sunlight.

  []All changes are applied with a new set of imagespace modifiers, so they should stack with your game's current visuals (including imagespace changes from spell effects, weathers, and different cells/worldspaces).

• Once settings are enabled on a save, they'll stay that way until you change them or turn them off.  Saving presets between different save games is not supported.

All modifiers are off by default, and setting any modifier to 0. 0 will remove it if it was on before.  Setting a modifier to 1. 0 will scale it as strongly as the mod allows; for most setups, this probably won't look good and you want a value somewhere lower in the range instead.

Example images use a slightly-edited version of Syn's ENB.  Each demonstrated modifier is partially on in these images and can be made stronger or weaker in the MCM.  Please be aware not all features will work with some ENBs; see the Troubleshooting section for details.

This mod shouldn't have any noticeable effect on performance as far as I'm aware.  Its script fires only while you are in the MCM.

How to use this mod -- Add vs Mult settings

Each property can be increased or decreased using an "Add" or "Mult" strategy. "Add" settings apply uniformly regardless of the baseline imagespace you're working from (so the Increase Brightness Add setting will brighten both dark and bright areas). "Mult" settings scale that imagespace property (so the Increase Brightness Mult setting will brighten already-bright areas more than dark ones). If you're not sure which to use, I'd recommend starting with Mult.

Both Add and Mult can be used for one setting if you'd like. Nothing will break if you add Increase and Decrease settings to the same property, strictly speaking, but they will generally cancel each other out or create a strange-looking result.

Alternatives

KreatE allows very fine control over lighting and other image properties by weather type and location.

Imaginator and Dynamic Display Settings internally use a similar approach to this mod.  Imaginator covers more features, including color tint, and Dynamic Display Settings allows separate setting profiles for different areas and times of day.

There are also some other mods besides weather and lighting mods that tweak existing imagespaces / modifiers, like Saturation Increase.  The advantage of mods like these is that they can change properties like saturation independently in different spaces, which this mod cannot do; however, if you already have a mod that changes lighting they may conflict.
