Respectful Reshade for E3 2018 Graphics Mod by WT3WD (Image Enhancer)

Edited to suite best with “E3 2018 Graphics Mod” by WT3WD. Real, truthful image enhancing (without throwing away image informations). Better depths, more clarity, better materials, better metals, stronger colours, better light, better bloom. Works great even on low settings!

Hello there!

This is special configuration of Respectful Reshade to work with the wonderful

E3 2018 Lighting MOD by WT3WD

which gives the game a much more “realistic” colour scheme. Unfortunately it comes out very milky, undetailed and feels very flat.
Due to that, i reconfigured my good ol reliable to make it a party for your eyes. It makes everything the original Respectful Reshade does, but it’s contrast postprocession is reworked to optimize the optics gifted by the E3 2018 Lightning mod.

If you are searching just for image enhancing of the vanilla game,
look out for my
Respectful Reshade Redux or
Respectful Reshade 2.0 – Image Enhancer

Have a clearer, more crisp image while keeping the original vision of the creators.
Less cloudy, less milky. But without destroying the picture, throwing everything in the dark and losing image informations.

Works for every graphical setting, with and without RTX. Really makes a
difference. Can be played in 720p to save valuable fps and still looks
nice. You even can activate Filmic Anamorph Sharpening to artifically
enhance details in that resolutions. Will just get a littl crusty.

So, what’s it about?

A little trickery in postprocession:

– better distance fog
– better light – it fills the room and effects everything a little bit more
– better sunset
– better colour
– no more green goo!
– less overexposure, no more washed out days
– better (end more subtile) bloom
– slightly sharper
– better structures and textures of streets, materials, dirt
– better chrome/metal reflections
– more pop
– more crisp
– less cloudy
– eyefriendlier
– everything fills the same space
– better feel of distance and dimension
– looks better
– more immersive
– it’s like getting glasses

…idk it’s the rubbish workflow i use to improve jpeg fotos or compressed movies (from smartphones, or when raw is missing)  and i want to share because  just compare screenshots and try it out!

All the screenshots were made using a FX-8350 with a Geforce GTX 1070 in Ultra Mode (rtx off) in 1920×1080.
fps hit is quite friendly, 5-10%, mostly less.

Installation:

First of all – get the Mod “E3 2018 Lighting MOD” by WT3WD

1) Install ReShade from https://reshade.me/ , make sure you install all plugins.
2) Drop the .ini you found in my download to “\Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64” .
3) Open reshade’s menu overlay ingame and select ‘RespectfulReshadeRedux’. Make sure to be in performance mode.

4) Deactivate both Film Grain and Chromatic cberration.
5) Turn the Gamma up a little bit ( I use 1.06 ) to make the picture darker. Depends on your display.
6) If you like to, you can bind a key for “toggle effect” in the settings  page of reshade’s overlay. Then you can swap the effect  to look at all it’s magic in direct comparison!

IF YOU LIKE THIS RESHADE, MAKE SURE TO ENDORSE!
Works in every graphic setting. It is suitable for playing in 720p to save fps with lower end PCs!
You can activate ‘Filmic Anamorph Sharpen [FilmicAnamorphSharpen.fx]’ to
have some grainy extra sharpness which you get used to fast.
This is useful when you can’t reach full HD but want to improve your image.
Especially when you don’t sit to close to your monitor (or television,
for which it is perfect) you can have a great effect and have higher
framerates.
