Snuggly’s Cinematic ReShade
With this ReShade I tried to give Elden Ring a more realistic natural look by giving the lighting more range and depth. This makes bright lit areas stand out while caves and shadowed areas seem much darker. This ReShade also helps to remove some of the washed out and yellow tint that comes with the games original lighting.

I have included two versions, one with Depth of Field and one without. It just adds a little bit of cinematics to the game but it also interferes with the overlay and text of the game, so if you have downloaded it and don’t like the DoF you can simply click the check box under Cinematic DoF and it will disable it.
V2 is a continuation of V1 with increased contrast and some desaturation to help the lighting feel more natural and less washed/yellow.
V3 adds HDR and Bloom to make the lighting feel more cinematic. The bloom is subtle as I didn’t want it to overshadow the rest of the lighting in the game as some blooms do. HDR just adds more depth to the blacks and highlights to the lights in a more natural way.
