Realistic Photo Look

Very simple realistic photo look 'mod' for Xcom EU/EW. Not a mod really it's just a reshade preset ini file.

Improved contrast/sharpness using Curves/LumaSharpen/Levels/ColorMatrix presets

I'm a retired photographer so realism is important to me not some horrid overblown Instagram garbage filter look.

This looks great to me on ancient 4k Panasonic TV. YMMV.

Install info:

Just drop this file in your game exe directory/Run reshade exe/select your game/DX9 then select this ini file (browse to where you put it) and choose option INSTALL ONLY PRESETS USED (or whatever that option is called now) .

Only uses simple common presets so should be no incompatibility issues.

Should actually work well with all older games that look 'flat' on your TV but tested specifically with Xcom EU/EW

Works with latest Reshade 6. 1. 1 (was created using 6. 0. 1)

TLDR install. Just drop this file in your game exe directory and

so simple here is the entire Reshade preset ini text!
