Reshade preset package called MagicHDR - anyone messed with this one yet?

[qballbandit]

I started messing with this package in Reshade called MagicHDR. It has a handful of bloom/intensity setting that really create an incredibly realistic depth with very natural, real world look to it.
Took pictures after dabbling with it and was excited to post them in the screenshot forum, but the screenshots did not pickup the MagicHDR preset as it showed in MG. First time I've run into this weirdness.

Wondering if anyone has had any time with this one?

Hi Neil,

Are you using the screenshot function within ReShade?

I usually define a different key and path to screenshot folder - specifically for ReShade. It has to be setup in the ReShade menu.

The default ORTS screenshot function is unaware of modifications made by ReShade.

Scott

I have mine set to save a .jpg, for posting, using alt+print screen.
Also saves it to the clipboard.

Neil can you supply a download link for the Magic HDR preset?

I got that preset but never used it. Now you got my curiosity perked up. What settings do you recommend?

Come to think of it, I must be using the default OR screenshot definition. This makes me feel silly, as now I am guessing none of my screenshots ever show any of the Reshade magic!

I have not messed with MagicHDR to make recommendations, but I'd also say it's subjective - personal taste, personal machine and monitor settings, etc. Easier to just adjust setting and see how they look, real time, for yourself

When I installed it didn't give me the option of setting up a specific key... anyone know what the default reshader screenshot key is?

Hi Chris,

You can check or set the print functions via the ReShade Interface - I think the default key to open the ReShade Interface is [Home] (the ReShades banner displays the key to open the interface) - then just click on settings tab - the option should be right there.

Here is an example, again with very little time spent adjusting the settings, and it shows the depth of color. I also see how it brings a slightly more 3-D'ish look to the environment.
This may be one of those settings, based on what I am seeing so far, that could be route/season specific. What looks good on one route and season, looks horrid on another. Need to make individual presets for each route, etc.



Figure it best to post essentially the same shot without the effect being used:



This fx file has vast potential, the more I explore it. With the varied Skydome1 files I have, the possibilities are seemingly endless.

One with a mostly cloudy approach:



Less glamorous and obvious, overcast with fog:

Hmmmm, interesting comparison, Neil. However, except for the sky, I think I prefer the ones without the effect better. They look more realistic to me. The ones with the effect look too exaggerated to me. Colors in real life look more subdued. But then, that's just my opinion. BUT, the skies are awesome!!

Neil I the modified screenshots really resemble a photograph the way everything jumps out. I like it thanks for sharing this!
