Game: Outlast
Author: BOBdotEXE
SweetFX version: 1.5/Boulotaur2024 Injector. +Chromatic Aberration Shader.
Description:
Please note when tweaking settings that higher numbers does not always equal
better (nor does lower).
Finding the best settings for your game and your taste is about finding just the
right amount to apply.
If you made a good setttings preset please share it with your friends, on forums
and websites,
and/or submit it to the SweetFX Settings Database :
http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/
This description field and the above Game and Author fields are here so you can
fill in your own details for the presets you create.
Just delete this description and fill in your own and then share it with the
world.
Hope you enjoy my mod.

(Interferes with SMAA, CRT, Bloom, HDR and Lumasharpen)
#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.

TV display. Set gaussian blur along with it to get a halation effect
#define USE_BLOOM 1 //[0 or 1] Bloom : Makes bright lights bleed
their light into their surroundings (relatively high performance cost)

to mimic an HDR look (relatively high performance cost)
#define USE_LUMASHARPEN 1 //[0 or 1] LumaSharpen : Also sharpens the
antialiased edges which makes them less smooth - I'm working on fixing that.

blur, but also bloom/hazy/glowy look, also unsharp masking

look of an old movie using the Technicolor three-strip color process (Techicolor
Process 4)

look like it's been converted to DXP Cineon - basically it's another movie-like
look similar to technicolor.

image to make it look more like it was shot with a camera lens. May cause
banding artifacts.

Hello bobdotexe. I would love to try out your preset but Outlast.exe keeps crashing on startup after moving the SFX files to the correct folder (Binaries\Win64).
