It definitely does look the same F2 did bring up the menu I have not tried F3 will give that a shot after work today.

Everything is included in that zip file. But Its a very standard configuration with stock shaders only.
I thought it was Shift+F3 to enable/disable the Shaders....
And Shift+F2 to open the Config Panel...
I changed it. F2 to open the config window and F3 to enable/disable.
ah, okay, sry
I still have it like i wrote
I have the shift button bind in most of my games so that's why I changed it.
I often find today's games to severely lack contrast, and ED is no different. The best thing with post process injectors is that you can customize your look, at least to a certain degree.
Here are two examples of how things can look, although some effects are greatly exaggerated, it shows how much the visual presentation can change.

Hm. With HDMI on full range and contrast/brightness/saturation settings via monitor and driver tool my game looks very good (which took a while to adjust.. I hate when black is greyish or details blacken out). Only thing it lacks is the HDR/bloom stuff, but I am not a big fan of that anyway. Softens the picture too much. I also noticed that many shaders kill off details by too high contrast effects, mostly due to shadow stuff.
I disagree. The overall visual presentation in ED is underwhelming with grayish color tones, underexposed parts, grayish blackness etc.
Keeping details in high exposure areas and dark areas is very hard, and I think HDR is the only feature that can deliver it currently. Everything else is just custom tone mapping based on old ideas.

It all depends on personal taste and skillfull shader configuration. I'm not a big fan of drastic changes, I find most of the presets to be oversaturated and the bloom is often an overkill. I prefer much subtler changes, just to enhance the image a little. Since I play many games, a single setting via monitor/driver doesn't work for me, as each games needs a different changes to look what I want it to look like. ReShade is a perfect tool for me must say, but I always make my own presets.
Funnily enough, the one I created for ED works really good in a lot of other games too! Like I said, it only enhances the image a little. Enough to make a difference when playing, but not exaggerating on the effects and shader configuration

Agreed. That should always be the approach when tinkering with shaders. For me at least. Small but awesome additions.
I don't believe in a general approach. You don't need to stay true to the original. That is the beauty of it.
But, each to their own of course!

Check out my preset then, you may like it

Yup, agreed. Some games benefit from a completely different feel (Skyrim), while others not so much - then again it's all a matter of personal taste. No rights or wrongs there really. Just use what you prefer and enjoy
The main problem of Elite is that it uses so many different lighting due to varied stars that we visit. It's quite difficult to create a preset that changes the feel in a great deal, and to make it work well with all of the lighting types we get in Elite... Another reason I personally went for a subtle one.
Here you go.
<MatrixRed> -0.5, 0.5, 1 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 1, 0, 0 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1, 0, -1 </MatrixBlue>

hitting F3 doesnt seem to do anything to be honest, i am willing to stream this for you if you like.
is there anything in the window (F2) that will show if its on or not?
