Warm, Sharp & Contrasty
Preset description:
Yet another Elder Scrolls Online SweetFX preset ;-)
This preset sharpens the game a bit and removes some of the blue tint to make it a more atmospheric experience. If you want even more contrast, enable HDR instead of Bloom.

*** You need Sekta's Custom 1.5.1 SweetFX for this preset to work, download links at: http://pastebin.com/jMd7aGqV ***
If you're having trouble with TESO crashing while SweetFX is on, run the game with DirectX 9: Go to your C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live or liveeu folder, open UserSettings.txt, search for >SET GraphicsDriver.7 "D3D11"< and change it to >SET GraphicsDriver.7 "D3D9"<.

#define USE_LUMASHARPEN 1 //[0 or 1] LumaSharpen : Also sharpens the antialiased edges which makes them less smooth - I'm working on fixing that.
#define USE_LEVELS 0 //[0 or 1] Levels : Sets a new black and white point. This increases contrast but causes clipping. Use Curves instead if you want to avoid that.
