Neutral LUTs - No Color Filters

✦ 

Please read the description and the FAQ in the Posts section. Your burning question is almost guaranteed to be answered in one of those places! 👍✨

This mod has no requirements. The requirements listed are mods that require this mod. The way Nexus lays that out is a bit confusing but if you look close at the headers you'll see.

This is a work-in-progress and is being refined as I'm playing through the game. I'm working on an alternate version that hand-picks and tweaks specific LUTs to restore some of the filmic vibe.  Your patience is appreciated!

This mod simply replaces all of the color LUTs in the game with the base game's own neutral color LUT.  The color filters in Starfield look great, but I had some trouble seeing in a few places so this was more of a utility thing on my part. It will also help you achieve nice deep blacks on an OLED TV.  See bottom of description for bonus INI tweaks to blacken outer space as well.

This works especially good as a base for a ReShade preset.
