The files itself won't work. There is a DLL error when I try to start the game. So I'm stuck with RadeonPro (which is $h17) and there are no "good" options to do anything. So if everyone can post a new instruction to let the game run with better quality graphics it would be appreciated by everyone new to this.

Have you tried going to http://reshade.me and downloading the current release (ReShade 0.14.0 + SweetFX 2.0)?
Once downloaded, I followed the directions in the README.txt and everything worked just fine. The biggest difference between the current ReShade / SweetFX 2.0 release and what is provided by OP is the missing gaussian blur. There are some options in the forums at reshade.me to include it, but if you're just looking to blur everything (which I can't stand) you can simply set a negative lumasharpen value.

Hi folks, Posted a vid on YT using ReShade and MasterEffect. Only activated the tiltshift setting in the reshade FX file and it gives a good dof feel without much fps hit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcZaqsbwk6I&feature=youtu.be
The sharp focus when using head tracking is always in the center of your view with the blurring in your peripheral vision giving an effect of enhanced depth. If you do not use head tracking then I get your point completely and would not use it.
I do use TrackIR, but personally don't see the benefit of blurring the peripheral vision. For me personally, it does nothing to make it look like there's more depth. I'm not knocking the effect, the beauty of all of this is that it's completely configurable for each person. Just like one person's color "enhancements" might not be to another person's liking. Thanks for sharing, though; it's a good thing that the community has lots of people willing to contribute.
Cheers
I'm trying to get reshade + mastereffect working at home. I've installed but am getting insane blur upon running the game.
This is the opening Elite menu... does this look correct before tweaking anything? There seems to be tons of attributes to muck around with in the mastereffect reshade.fx file. I have no idea what's doing what.
PS, stupid choice of toggle for reshade (scroll lock). I have no scroll lock key, so I tried to toggle via the onscreen keyboard. Not working..

Hi bcat1- Is it possible to share your reshade.fx file? I'm still wondering if I've got things setup properly.
So I managed to get quite a decent look with Reshade and SweetFX, atleast on my monitor at home, which is far from calibrated and not a great screen.
I've gone for a more 'filmic' look- slightly higher contrast, a bit of vignetting, subtle film grain, Cineon DPX blend, very slight chromatic aberration (very very slight), and a bit more bloom. I even enabled a smidge of guass blur, but extremely subtle as it tends to cause banding if overused. The result is quite a step beyond the default look imo. I love it.
PS, hitting 'printscreen' seems to be saving the pictures somewhere, but I'm not sure where!

Cheers for that- probably the first place I should have looked!
PS- you can get highres shots by using the DSR feature with nVidia cards. My screenshots save out as 2715 x 1527.

Ekar, could you provide you settings ? I have a similar look but want to compare. I too like the old film grain look/noise look.

I'm really happy with these settings at the moment, but will still play around a bit. Check out the 'bleach' parameters under 'Tonemap'. I normally don't like a bleachy look, but the setting here gives a bit more punch to the lights in stations and tones down the colours a bit- you should tweak that to your liking (I'm still tweaking this value). The main effect driving things here is 'Use DPX', which really changes the colours to a warmer, slightly more purpleish tone. The other few effects are really subtle, but help to convey a more filmlike image.
In the Gauss.fx settings, I've tweaked and tweaked to get something which I'm happy with. It's really subtle, but gives the image that tiny bit of colour bleed. The gauss effect happens at the start of the processing chain so all the grain which comes later isn't being blurred. One thing is- the grain will look different depending on what kind of supersampling method you use. When using DSR for eg, the grain effect is more subtle than by using the supersampling option in the ingame gfx settings. This is my preffered method. I also use a bit of FXAA via SweetFX.
Make sure you your sweetFx recognises Guass.fx by including it in the Sweet.fx file in your main game dir.

Thank you good sir, I will try them out after work today!
I notice that you are using Sweet FX 1.6, therefore you must have changed up which files you used to install Reshade/SweetFX so can you share also those files or where to get the proper ones? If I use your settings with my SweetFX 2.0 + Reshade, it's going to error out.

Try this download link- it has all the relevant files in it- just extract everything into your game dir (the one containing 'EliteDangerous32.exe'), but backup any existing SweetFx stuff first.

edit: toggle effects key is now 'tilda' (~)
edit 2: filmgrain look is best suited to using DSR supersampling. You might want to reduce the grain a bit if you're not using this method.

I just realized the main ReShade archive from this thread uses 1.6 too. I think I was using 2.0 because it was the only one I could get to work without jumping through hoops, but Reshade worked so I should have no problems. thanks again, I can't wait to try it out tonight I really like the look in your screenshots.
A friend of mine hates the noise/grain and blur effects but I dunno why it just appeals to me. I used to use similar even in other games like Skyrim and such. I guess it gives a sorta..cinematic, rough feel to it.
I am kinda fond of your UI colors too, would you share those as well

If you just want the GUI colour values:
<MatrixRed> 0.46, 0.99, 0.49 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 1, 1, 0.41 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1, -0.27, -0.38 </MatrixBlue>
(it's a bit illegible at times, such as when selecting an item in outfitting, or differentiating between normal commodities/rares in the commodities list. But I do like the colours in general).

Thanks! Can't wait to try it out all tonight I was going to do those planetary changes as well just never got around to it, so this works out well

No probs!
Ah btw, I changed the toggle effects key from pageup(?) to the tilda key, since pageup is already being used ingame.
