I'll gladly accept to be named Mr Tweaking Obsession ! (or the "Bloom Fecker", kind of a codename )

oh surprised you recognize him! he's my hero

Whats the brightness and contrast settings are you guys play at? Brightness is 65 and Contrast is 65 on my monitor (not in ENB's) just got me thinking, if it look ok on mine, what if on your's :?:

Holy shots once again.
I'm tweaking and playing on my LED TV via HDMI, so my settings are quite different from a regular PC Display, nothing that could be interesting as a reference or something.
It's a Samsung, and I'm quite neutral when it comes to displays settings.

i was thinking why are some pics posted here are either too dark or bright by all those great tweakers. i have spent a lot of time adjusting colors ect... then it came to me that my monitor also plays a big part on how others view it. most presets that i've tried, most are too dark out of the box, even unplayable. my Acer 23in led monitor is too bright even at 65 %. guess there can be never a perfect presets :? i've never try hooking up to a tv before, if i do, maybe i'll start over again readjusting colors/gamma/contrast...

Your monitor/TV are going to have the greatest impact on how an enb looks. I have a $700.00 LCD monitor that I've had calibrated and I love the way my own enb looks, BUT when I try it on my friends LED television, it looks horrible. The contrast is too high, the saturation is too high and it looks very dark. I was thinking that if I ever release my preset, I will make one for LCD and one for LED monitors.

I honestly cannot stand LED televisions. I can never calibrate them.

You have to take the PC and TV Scale difference into account you can set you HDMI out though to the correct output Scale, so the correct conversion takes place in the GPU before it reaches the TV. But this should not really have anything todo with saturation. I would be surprised if my results would look a lot different on a LED TV then on the TN or IPS except the natural Gamut difference.
I would say then your friend should try to turn of all the PP in his TV and see how that changes the results, these days a lot of PP stuff runs on the TVs some really not needed or counterproductive depending on the input. Maybe he just Enabled one of the PP algos (quality enhancers) and forget about it

You should really take care that nothing in the TV modifies our ENB output, trying to avoid as many 3rd party conversions in the output/display chain as possible.

I personally really love my Angel Light output on the IPS it comes out exactly as i intended also with all the texutre and shader alliasing

One thing I have always hated in Skyrim is the contrast. I can't seem to fix it with any ENB preset out there. But this mod does seem to do the trick.
Here is an example of what the mod does:

But, it says in the mod description that it also adds some saturation and I don't want that. Is there a way someone could make this esp without the added saturation?

[Confidence-Man]

It probably changes the contrast and saturation levels in the imagespaces, which means it's only useful for the vanilla game.

It seems like a simple enough thing to adjust in ENB though.
