Plus a file - "ReShade.ini", with all the settings and defined paths. If you don't have ReShade installed then you need to copy these files to the main folder of the game (where Starfield.exe is located) before installing ReShade.

- Offers flexibility with presets for different LUT setups

⚠️ Cons
- Requires ReShade to be installed separately, which might be a hurdle for some
- Last updated in September 2023, so may not be optimized for the latest game patches
- Presets are subjective—what looks good to some may not appeal to others
For Starfield players who want to tweak the game's color grading and visual atmosphere without overhauling textures. If you're into photography mode or just want a more cinematic look, this is worth trying. Skip if you prefer the vanilla look or don't want to bother with ReShade setup.

- Try each preset in different environments (e.g., Neon, Akila) to see which fits your taste.
