Absolutely ZERO DoF, Bloom, Vignetting, hypercontrast or exaggerated colors bullshit.

This is comparatively tame color correction preset made with most sophisticated grading and film emulation tools in the industry.

Unlike built-in POSTFX (insane -20 FPS in my case), this has zero performance impact because it uses pre-baked custom LUT and minimal amount of extremely fast shaders (1.3ms on GTX1080. Disable optional LumaSharpen and FilmGrain for a sick 0.45ms preset, that's like taking 1 out of 2220 FPS).

It tries to strike the balance between gameplay focused features like oversaturation for target acquisition and clarity, proper black levels/contrast, and pleasantly augmenting vanilla look.

Adjust your saturation levels based on preference/your monitor calibration in prod80_04_ContrastBrightnessSaturation node, or disable it completely.

Saturation (linear, global adjustment of color intensity) Recommendation: -0.200 for closer to vanilla look, -0.100 for "mild" preset, leave at 0 for my very colorful defaults.

Vibrance (makes less saturated colors more, well, vibrant... Non-linear adjustment by nature)

Aesthetically it kinda fits Amands's Graphics default preset, but it was not graded with it in mind, I'm really not a huge fan of it anyway because it changes Tarkov vanilla look way too much for my taste (which I personally really like), maybe I will look into making a proper custom preset for it in the future.

Installation:

1. Unzip the archive and put it in root folder of you SPT installation. (ODT-ColorCorrection-Tarkov-ReShadePreset.ini and "reshade-shaders" folder should be at EscapeFromTarkov.exe level).

You have to make sure that the files are located like this:

%SPT-INSTALL-DIRECTORY%\ODT-ColorCorrection-Tarkov-ReShadePreset.ini

%SPT-INSTALL-DIRECTORY%\reshade-shaders\Textures\250D.png

Installation example is under the spoiler:

2. Download ReShade and install it like this:

2.1 First, in the installer, go to your SPT folder and choose EscapeFromTarkov.exe

2.2 Next, choose Directx11
