Native Light LUT Overhaul

A little support goes a long way! If you’d like to help me keep creating, you can do so at https://ko-fi.com/jaderaymond38242

Starfield should not look like the same beige-grey image everywhere you go.

Native Light rebuilds the game's colour grading from the ground up. Not to add a look - to take one away. It removes the grey veil the game ships with and gives everything the colour it should be: real blacks, honest whites, and light that comes from the scene instead of a filter over it.

This is not a ReShade preset.

This is not one LUT copied across the game.

It is a correction, not a style.

WHAT CHANGES

• []The grey veil is removed. Blacks are actually black, whites are neutral, and the cyan-shadow / yellow-highlight split is corrected.[/]

  []Nothing is put in its place. No warm cast, no teal-and-orange, no filter. The image looks like itself.[/]

  []The game's own light does the work. A red-lit corridor stays red because the game lights it red. A warm study stays warm because the lamps are warm. Colour comes from the actual sources in the scene.[/]

  []Space finally looks like space. Deep vacuum, hard contrast, illuminated ships against a true black background.[/]

  []Atmospheric worlds reflect what they actually are. Optional Per-Planet grades each world from its own atmosphere, pressure, temperature and star class.[/]

  []Photo Mode becomes useful again. Thirty-four filters rebuilt to their own names, not lightly altered copies of one effect.[/]

  The goal is not to make every screenshot dramatic.

  The goal is to make Starfield look right during the hundreds of ordinary hours between screenshots.

  First: the part that is broken

  "Washed out and beige" is not simply a matter of taste. It comes from measurable changes inside the original LUT.

  Starfield addresses colour grading by location, and every slot originally contains an identical cube. That cube does this:

  black point       R 7    G 20   B 22     lifted ~8%, tinted cyan

  white point       R 253  G 247  B 221    blue reduced by 34

  mid grey (136)    R 152  G 153  B 145

  contrast slope    1. 05                  almost no density added

  Cyan shadows sit against yellow highlights over a floor that never reaches black.

  That is the grey veil. That is the beige cast.
