UPDATE 10/7/24: Slight tweaking of MXAO and other shaders. Please redownload if need be
UPDATE 29/7/24: Fixed colours being too saturated on other skintones. please redownload if need be
These are really basic presets I made primarily for studio and outdoors use (i made them in old sharlayan).
These have been made in Gshade with both free and paid IMMERSE shaders. If you are having any problems with them in Reshade, please let me know and I will do my best to pinpoint the issue. Original shaders such as MXAO etc have been kept intact as an option for non IMMERSE users.
Please turn off the ingame DOF and adjust the manual brightness as needed! I heavily encourage adjusting and playing around with the different shader toggles included depending on the mood for your photo. Tested on a variety of skintones and weather conditions which will alter how the presets appear.
These come with unique textures too, please ensure they are installed in the: C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\game\gshade-shaders\Textures folder to use.
If using the latest GSHADE, the path is different to prevent loss with the update; gshade custom shaders > shaders. Same with custom textures; gshade custom shaders > textures. this has been added to the guide for new gshade users.
There are also some tips in my MEGA folder on using StageDepth shaders and installing immerse. If you are on the altest GSHADE, the base, free Immerse and METEOR by Mart McFly is now installed with the program.
Please note you must have immerse installed for Immerse functions, original shader toggles have been kept intact as another option! You can find Immerse here:
https://github.com/martymcmodding/iMMERSETo use the Film Grain you will need to download Marty McFly's METEOR extra effects shaders (Free):

https://github.com/LordOfLunacy/Insane-ShadersI have added some keybinds to my presets to easily toggle on and off. All frame texures drawn by myself in Photoshop.
Thank you once again! Please enjoy and if there is something amiss or you have a question, do not hesitate to reach out and I'll do my best to help.
If you are that way inclined to use hashtags when posting pictures, #Elvashade or #Elvashaders will suffice! It brings me joy seeing people enjoy what I make!
