Vanilla game, like 99 % of the games has washed out colors. bland, stale and greyish colors only

Mind sharing you settings? I would love to use them.

Hey thanks for the compliment :). This is more of a reference point of what you *could* do with a couple of hours of tinkering, but if the demand is high i will upload my settings :D. It's still a work in progress though and i am still tweaking a lot of stuff, especially HBAO, its pretty tricky to get working right D:, the depth of field is probably a bit intense for most, but i did photography for a year or so and i love me some depth of field and bokeh porn >:3

That is not how depth of field works. There should be almost no blur at all, unless the object you're looking at is right in front of your face. That thing looks almost like when I take my glassess off, except it's some kind of weird graduaded blurring. Reduce the effect by about 95% on majority of the cases it's maybe okay.

Awesome, another person with a degree in programming and photography!. Nice to meet ya, would you mind explaining to what exactly it is then if it's not depth of field?, here i took the liberty of grabbing the most straight forward explanation of DoF for you :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34jkJoN8qOI

Well if you do ever get this done, please do upload the settings. Would be nice to play around with! Tried it myself but couldn't get any decent results. =/

EDIT: And Steam users need to disable Steam Overlay. That's how it was with SweetFX

That is no longer the case with Reshade.
You can just use steam overlay with it.

To add to this, XIV actually crashes if you have fraps open when you start it if you use reshade!. I however have yet to fully use reshade properly and turn my sweetfx config into a full reshade config so that could partially be it. You can still use fraps you just need to use it after you start xiv :)

Erm ... Just a comparison :

Notice something?

The difference between the two Pictures is clearly, the first one (FFXIV) uses a weaker Depth of Field, the second one uses a stronger Depth of Field which is more concentrated near the Person.

Mine in FFXIV is concentrated to blur things more further away from my Character and not directly in the front or back.

Have you tried sweetfx? It's a pretty good graphic injector also.

Pretty much this. However you can actually use your sweetfx settings with reshade.
