I suggest choosing Depth of field over this unless you want to blur distant terrain.

This now provides DOF during gameplay for remastered which is really neat

Update 8/1/2018
Changed fBloomThreshold to 0.825 instead of 0.9
If you don't like the bloom you can just disable BloomsAndLensFlares.fx
You also didn't have to be rude about my character, it's only for people who are interested in it.
Noone cares about your character. Just reduce bloom.
The character I'm using is a mystic class and if you want the preset for her you can look it up with keyword "neko" or "cat" <3
