(DT) Sugar and Spice - Gshade / Reshade Preset Pack

UPDATE: 16/02/25 Apple Crumble and Carrot Cake presets have had the Autumn LUT shaders fixed and edited slightly to negate shadowing. Please update if need be.

A set of 8 presets with warm, autumnal colours, again made in my garden.

These have been made in Dawntrail following the graphical update, I have made and tested them in a variety of areas, weather conditions / time of day and skintones. See the previews included for an idea on how they look, some of the various effects and tips.

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. This set was made in my garden in the Empyreum housing ward and testing in a variety of places (Shirogane, Mist, Lavender Beds, studios)

Some presets have colour isolation enabled, you can turn this off for more colours. I heavily encourage playing with the different shader toggles to create different effect combos. See tips folder.

If a preset is using the LUT 'autumn' you may notice prominent dark shadows on black clothing, hair, skin etc particularly at night. Please turn this LUT off if you do not need it on or adjust the lighting to suit. There are photo tips on how to do this in the folder.

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 latest GSHADE, the base, free Immerse and METEOR by Marty McFly is now installed with the program.

There is also an RTGI option if you use the paid version (immerse Ultimate / Pro).

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/iMMERSE

To use the Film Grain you will need to download Marty McFly's METEOR extra effects shaders (Free): https://github.com/martymcmodding/METEOR

I have added some keybinds to my presets to easily toggle on and off. All frame textures drawn by myself in Photoshop. Other textures have been sourced from free stock image websites for public use.

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 will suffice! It brings me joy seeing people enjoy what I make!
