CrazyDutch Reshade
A reshade to achieve a sharper image with more clarity and depth while maintaining the original colours.
A reshade to achieve a sharper image with more clarity and feel of depth. Of course, it is personal preference, but for me this is making the game more beautiful and easier to spot NPC/objects on a distance and calculate the distance.
Note:
All comparison screenshots are made with the same ini tweaks, Adrenalin settings and ingame settings
The only difference is reshade overlay on or off.
II play the game on 3840×1920, screenshots are downsized to 1920×1080 for nexus purposes
Active filters:
-levels
-curves
-clarity
-pd80_bonus_LUT_pack
-Ambientlight
-Surfacesharpen.
optional:
Vibrance (not active now to maintain original color intensity like intended, but i configured to make the zone a little bit less grey)

I replaced the reshade archive, now it also contains all the shader files so it should work no matter if you do a default, full or custom reshade installation.
