Lock Stock And Barrel Reshade HDR

Reshade presets for HDR monitors and TVs. Nights can get dark on cloudy days or when the moonlight is blocked, and you may want to carry an oil lamp. However, when there is no oil lamp or moonlight, the night is completely manageable, but it will be a little dark.

✨ Core Functions

• **🎨Color and Clarity Enhancement**: Optimize the balance of day and night images for HDR devices through various effects such as AdaptiveSharpen, FXAA, LumaSharpen, FilmicPass, Vibrance, Vignette, LevelsPlus, Clarity2, etc.
• **🌊 Dynamic water effect**: Fast-flowing rivers will show a natural blue-green sheen.
• **🌲Real vegetation color**: The coniferous roots of Douglas fir will show a natural rust color, which is more suitable for the dry climate near the New Austin Desert. Grasslands are greener at lower elevations, while areas with drier soil at higher elevations have different colors.
• **🌙 Dynamic Night System**: The night will become truly dark depending on the weather and environment (such as clouds, buildings or mountains blocking the moonlight), encouraging you to use oil lamps when necessary, enhancing the realism and atmosphere.

⚙️ Usage and Calibration Guide

**⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE**: HDR effects vary from device to device. This preset is based on the author’s own TLC 6 Series 615 TV (peak brightness is about 800-1000 nits). Your actual results may vary.

• **💡 Equipment requirements**: It is recommended that the peak brightness of HDR equipment should reach at least **600 nits**, and **1000 nits or higher** is better to obtain a high-quality HDR experience.
• **🎮In-game settings**:
• Enable HDR function in the game.
• Enter the HDR calibration interface and make adjustments according to the on-screen prompts. The author's personal settings are brightness 5000 and paper white value 500, but this is for reference only.
• **Calibration Tip**: Adjust the brightness until you can barely see the Rockstar logo. For the bottom sample image, use your best judgment.
• **🖥️Device Calibration**: For the best color, it is recommended to refer to the color calibration guide for your specific TV or monitor model on professional review websites such as RTINGS.com.

📝 Author's words

👋 Hello everyone! This is my first time sharing my work, I am not a professional developer or modder.

The original intention of making this preset is because I tried many Reshade presets on the market, but none of them could perfectly suit the HDR effect of my device. So, I decided to do it myself, hoping to improve the HDR visual experience of the game. If this preset can help even a small number of people, then all the effort will be worth it!

Please note that due to HDR characteristics, some preview screenshots may appear too bright, and the actual game effect will be much better. The preset is still under development (W.I.P), thank you for your try and tolerance! Feedback on your ideas is also welcome.
