Final Fantasy XIV: Vs Reshade - A Comparison Reborn.

Just seems like the saturation/contrast has been upped, I'm pretty sure that using this is like retouching photos, there is no one setting to make all photos look better, it varies depending on different factors.

In the shots you've taken the bright areas like Costa it fits well, but in darker areas or bright lights it looks worst than the original. I can imagine it's great for taking screen shots but for constant game play it looks too inconsistent.

Looks like you just increased the saturation in the images. The original looks 100% better because the colours are not overly saturated.

You're totally right guys!. How DARE i take hours gathering screenshots for people to reference in creating their own ideal world. I am deeply sorry, i will think twice next time before attempting something so evil.

On an unrelated note that is in no way affiliated with my original post. The effects used in my preset has SMAA, Luma Sharpen, a heavily tweaked bokeh DoF, lightly tweaked bloom, HDR, and a very slightly tweaked lens dirt. By the way, the nights look darker than vanilla which is bright, this is of course in my personal opinion/preset.

I'd also like to quote a post made here earlier today that i think you may or may not have read/understood.

And for someone using photo editing programs miscreant you should know that i have tweaked the bokeh bokeh refers to the visual quality of the out of focus area when depth of field is active saturation to better suit daytime environments while keeping nightime relatively dark.

these are my own personal settings and it's how i enjoy playing my game.
