What does this ColorPow parameter should do ?
For me it shrouds everything darker, except water. It covers most light effects from other parameters and makes nature look like vanilla, but darker.
Closest comparison would be - it is like a shadow. (that covers everything but water)

It looks like Gamma, only it's applied to DirectLighting/Ambient and probably other areas of ENB. It's useful if you want to bring out more details from the textures. You have to compensate for the extra darkness in other ways however. Here's some screenshots with ColorPow in use: imgur albumAnubis wrote:What does this ColorPow parameter should do ?

It's an awesome parameter in my opinion.
That was fast, thank you.ENBSeries wrote:Version updated, download again
Fixed purple landscape when ColorPow above 1 and applied it to some grass types.

For me it would seem useful to be able to lower this value below 1

As you can see, it looks way different with far more details.

More details for lighted area but less details in shadows. It looks like increased contrast. (and vibrance)Arindel wrote:Here's a comparison: imgur link

No, ColorPow is gamma for diffuse textures (albedo) of the game. When set to 2.2, it's almost srgb convertion to make usual texture become linear space. But because this game have very few textures which are normal (ivy texture is correct one), ColorPow 2.2 is too high on practice. When textures are linear, then all math also done in linear space.

Re: TES Skyrim SE 0.380
Ok, understood. But is there anything that could be done to increase texture visibility in shadows ? Something like AmbientLightingCurve in Oldrim.ENBSeries wrote:No, ColorPow is gamma for diffuse textures (albedo) of the game.

Re: TES Skyrim SE 0.380
Increase ambient is the only way. AmbientLightingCurve do not work the way you asked.

Re: TES Skyrim SE 0.380
Random question; not really needed but wondering if it was possible to add scrolling with mousewheel in the ENB GUI ingame. Just a quality of life thing if possible. If its a bother I much rather you continue work on waters
Thanks
Also the bug I've noticed since LE if I'm editing things in shaders in enbeffect in the GUI for example then I hit load config to reset it bugs all the shader menus way up in the menu and I need to spam click the tiny arrow at the very bottom of that menu until they reappear.
Thanks again

In Oldrim I could get better visibility in shadows using AmbientLightingCurve. (Basically by slightly decreasing difference between brightest and darkest light)
