This is an attempt at making gta look and feel bright and sunny. colors toned to be more to what i see in the real world. i just wanted to remove the greenish tint from everything and have it clean and vibrant. and as for the enb well the city nights never looked better, water reflections are top notch. and the chrome and car reflections are amazing.

the reshade+sweetfx2.0 and reshade+framework are seperate presets only install the one you wish to use not both. reshade+sweetfx2.0 is a simple reshade that doesn't affect fps if it does it's very little if at all. the reshade+framework is a heavier load on your pc and has more effects.

screenshots on the right of the mod page are now only showcasing reshade+framework click here for Screenshots of reshade+sweetfx

WARNING!!!!! framework's ambient lighting does cause very large fps drops. up to 10 fps for me during certain times of the day depending on lighting. if it gets to be to much you can toggle off ambient lighting with the F12 key until a different time of day or location usually and then its fine. this is the only temporary solution until i can optimize the issue. if possible.

added additional preset for less saturation and vibrancy for Reshade+framework.
---------------------------------------------------------------
1.9
removed master effect from the reshade+sweetfx files it was basicly doing nothing in the way i had it being used. i made a mistake and thought it ran in addition to sweetfx from the main folder. this was from my error only and none of the original authors of reshade or master effect.

reshade+framework unchanged.
