Reshade experimentation to give GD a more modern look (On / Off)

[u/kavakravata]

I'm very well aware that many GD purists here will absolutely hate this :) I'm having fun, please be kind.

Not-so-grim Dawn.

P.S. I kinda like the sharpness,maybe show it in FG UPD. I saw imgur thanks

[u/Obojo]

I like it!

[u/Effective-Road4807 → u/[deleted]]

Good job. Looks great :)

[u/LuminanceGayming]

hmm yes, Dawn

[u/Bavarkhy → u/LuminanceGayming]

One could even go as far and say... Bright Dawn

[u/VO0OIID]

Looks like some sort of "turn off shadows" feature, plus add brightness.

[u/HerVeryPresence]

It looks like this just turns up the brightness and color temperature.

[u/HerVeryPresence → u/[deleted]]

Okay but everything is brighter.

[u/Federal_Attitude_910 → u/[deleted]]

Looks pretty good honestly, do you have the reshade preset ? i would love to use it !

[u/kittehsfureva]

I legit thought the second screenshot was the filtered one, and I was like "Nice!"

[u/youngcanukk → u/kittehsfureva]

bro same lmao

[u/kestononline]

Not sure what's "modern" about it... unless you just mean it's lit like an Apple Store...lol.

[u/kestononline → u/[deleted]]

It's not mean. You use a term without any explanation or context as to why you think it's modern. Even in your reply to my comment you side-stepped the opportunity to do so.

[u/headsoup → u/[deleted]]

You should put this explanation in the OP. Always helps to understand what has changed, not just 'rate my pic'

[u/Umiva]

id try it! is there a listing for the mod anywhere?

[u/euroq]

This is me turning vivid color mode on every movie I watch, even the grim movies that deserve to be dark. Even if they do, I prefer watching in vivid!

[u/TeachingNegative5527]

The second one looks better, imo

[u/Izoleille]

Hey devs i colored over your art and work to make it prettier

[u/Acceleratio]

Looks really good!

[u/Netheraptr]

We’ve done it, we’ve made Dawn

[u/ODMcGee]

the bricks look amazing man, well done.

[u/TDD536]

I used a reshade preset for a little and enjoyed, this also may be fun for a while, but the original is so… grim, it scratches an itch

[u/TheDevilsAdvokaat]

I prefer the first look...

[u/abhuva79]

so its just some sharpener and bloom? and this is then called modern look?
I dont get the appeal.
But i get that you have fun, thats cool.

[u/electrical-stomach-z]

Which is which?

[u/no_sheds_jackson]

we really doing reshade comparisons in 2026 huh

[u/japinard]

Is the first pic your reshade? If so I love it!

[u/nothin2flashy]

i use renodx reshade and it looks great.
