Notice how the sunlight bleeds over the chimney stack, giving a more photographic effect. Here’s a Dishonored screenshot without SweetFX enabled:Īnd here’s what happens when you add a little bloom: What exactly does bloom look like? I took a few pictures. Select bloom, for example, and you can enter a value from 0.0 to 50.00 to determine just how much bloom you need, anywhere between something very subtle to face-melting brightness. The centre panel lists each of the many options that you can tinker with and as well as turning these on and off, you can individually configure the values of each and every one. Click “Add SweetFX” on the left hand side and you’re ready. The Configurator will copy the relevant SweetFX drivers to the game’s directory and add it to your list of games.

The kind of effects you can play around with include bloom, HDR, image sharpening, anti-aliasing, gamma gain, image contrast and colour saturation, each of which you can alter from being very subtle indeed to being completely in your face. Let’s take a closer look.įirst things first, SweetFX is the work of CeeJay.dk of Guru3D and it’s absolutely packed with options. That said, it can produce some pretty ugly ones, too, but since I’m not the most tech-savvy of folk and I still achieved some success in just a few hours, I think that tells you something.
Dead easy to set up and it can produce some quite remarkable effects.
