ReShade is a popular addon for many games which allows the application of multiple postprocessing shaders such as bloom, fake HDR, SSAO, sharpening and depth of field. Note the screenshots are all currently still from V1.0, as the changes are pretty subtle and taking nice screenshots is time consuming.

I will leave the old file up for those who prefer V1.0. I have also toned down the bloom a little bit as it was looking too bright on the ground especially with the new LUT shader. I have added in 2 new shaders, LUT which tones down the saturation and yellow balance a bit and ADOF which provides a DoF effect when zoomed in close to the character or objects. Update 21/3/21: Version 1.1 released, which provides subtle colour balance changes without any change to performance. I will still include 1.1 in the download for those who prefer a softer more subtle effect. For 1.2 I have used the levels shader instead of HDR.fx and also included the Clarity2 shader, which creates an image with higher contrast, better highlights and more defined edges. This version does have reduced FPS compared to 1.1 however I have included performance versions of both 1.1 and 1.2 for use in dungeons etc.

Update 23/9/21 : Version 1.2 released, which provides a sharper, crisper and more defined image with a cooler colour palette. As before, there is a performance version of the 1.3 shader, and I will provide old versions in the upload file for those who dislike the changes.

I have also added a subtle extra bloom shader, MagicBloom which will bring out highlights, though may cause some increased bloom on chat boxes-feel free to disable this if it is a bother. Update 17/7/22 : Version 1.3 release d which includes a bluer colour palatte to counteract the vanilla games subtle green-grey tinge using the CrossProcess.
