im new to this sweetfx thing

No.
Steam captures the screen before SweetFX effects have been applied.

Hi all, one little question, im new in thism, ¿someone can explain me what is the differences

between all the s-curves modes to choose?, i cant find nothing in the original post.

Bye and thanks

Strange, if you use RadeonPro for SweetFX steam screens show all the shaders applied.

Btw, CeeJay, could you please look at this post i made in the previous thread?

I have a very long list with many of my ideas and then another long list in my head, and I and work on these ideas when I get an idea on how to best implement them.

But possibly you will see:
Improvements to Lumasharpen
Improvements to Curves
Improvements to Dither (done)
Cartoon shader (done)
Border shader (done)
Shaders to assist the colorblind.
CRT shader
FXAA.

Omg don't tell me you ported cgwg's CRT Pixel Shader to SweetFX ? That'd be great indeed !

EDIT : also check out Caligari's work if you havent already

I agree with CeeJay those are some extreme settings, I'd recommend you follow the link he left for you and take a look at Scrullet's and I settings.

I would like to give a tip when using LGG especially with skyrim, Less is more. 1.500, 2.000, 2.000 is WAY too high you are much better off doing incremental step ups or downs by 0.005 or 0.010. Also you don't need to defog feature for Skyrim as the default Sweetfx can get rid of it's greyish tint.

Skyrim has many different landscapes and each look different, whatever you change in one environment will probably not look good in another. This is why I personally find Skyrim to be a bit touchy with sweetfx when adjusting color/contrast settings and it's why I chose Riverwood as my testing ground as I find it to be a happy medium area as I can see both the green and snowy environment there.

Hi all.

@ Gembel
Ok XD and dont be lazy, keep making more settings.
@ GameGuy
Ok no problem, if you buy it someday we can play it later and i still believe you re lucky to have one SLi like that.










@ Mr.Bigtime
I was wondering the same, if is there one SweetFX setting for Ghost Recon Future Soldier, i can do one but what keeps me without do it if i could be banned for it, i have that game Steam version and play MP sometimes, if someone confirm that not problems with GR Future Soldier + SweetFX + Online then fine.

OK I won't - because I haven't.

cgwg's shader is really cool, and several of it's features (but not all) can be done in a single pass, but it must be the only shader in that pass to sample multiple pixels.

That unfortunately makes it incompatible with SMAA, LumaSharpen, Bloom, HDR and Cartoon (Cartoon was already incompatible with the the others - enabling it will overwrite the results of the others)
It's also quite complex and would take some time to port.

No, I'm afraid my CRT shader is very very simple - on the plus side though, it's very very fast. It's basically just the Dither shader slightly changed and with a few extra features, so it's performance hit should barely even register.

Maken _ you are a genius...

@ Marcel
Hi, how you been? Thanks, for me you and many others here are very good, in fact you all guys were my inspiration that pushed me to give a try to SweetFX. My respect.

wut it's quite easy enough. However I'm getting bored of SweetFX... It somehow made me more bored with games so I decided to calm down with it. Not playing the games just constantly tweaking...

Don't need to tweak every game. For some reason people think there needs to be some magical preset that makes every game look better... which I definitely don't think is the case.

hi bro

here it is the tool to make alooooooooooot easier for u

http://sweetfx.thelazy.net/

==============

for me sweetfx is soo important..at least no much brigh and blurr anymore
in games and better looking

===============

Maken

first shots and before the last one was EPIC..but i think last shots more yellowish..dont u think?

no man i dont think u'll get banned bro..never heared about this before
its ok go ahead with Ghost Recon

I agree....sleeping dogs looks better vanilla IMO.

Everything I have looked at with sweet fx in sleeping dogs...the whites are just way too bright...one thing looks better, something else suffers.

Hi all, this thing of modding graphics is very adictive, so much that i remember not sleep much because of that and later pay the consequencies with my health.

SweetFX Configurator the most easy way to start, very user friendly.

Play that chapter and you will see.
Ok i will try it later but i think Ghost Recon Future Soldier looks good as its for me.
