The base presets use a combo of auto-blur (ADOF) and mouse-driven focus (cinematic DOF) you can toggle off the mouse-driven focus if you like, it just gives a nice customizable blur to the scene.You can drop a light over your character's shoulder for some interesting glow.Use spotlights from a distance when necessary for a subtle highlight or color.Look for interesting lighting backdrops indoors, and look for dappled lighting to stand in outdoors - ambient light looks better in game than harsh spotlights from gpose.Experiment with making the character wet it anamnesis for a soft sheen (depends on scene lighting).Use the 'manual brightness adjustment' slider.They use MXAO, which can cause shadows in certain hairstyles.They have a lot of light artefacts and bokeh.They are mostly for portraits/closer shots.They are screenshot presets only and they are beefy and can cause your framerate to drop.I've been asked a few times to share, so here they are! I would like to thank all of those who work on ReShade for giving us such a wonderful tool to expand our creativity within gaming environments! It's been a joy to work with and I continue to enjoy it, thank you so so much for taking a look I really hope they can be of some use.This is my personal set of presets - I swap between them a lot depending on lighting and skin colors. Constructive feedback is always welcome, I'm still learning! Please, please forgive any horrid mistakes, I've done my best but I know there are many on this site far more experienced and educated than me.

They are primarily written for FFXIV (and a little behind in versions now but I will improve/update them when time allows) but the theory is the same across platforms and the visuals in the guide are still a decent representation of capabilities. I tried to copy majority of guides over to this site but sadly the images don't come across, rendering them useless. I would like to stress, I am no expert and I do not get paid to promote this, and yes MMOGames has horrid adverts in the background (I'm sorry!). These guides have been out for a while now and I was always apprehensive to post them here, as they are far from perfect but I poured my heart into producing them so I hoped perhaps they might be useful to others.
