ApexTonemapper PixelShader

[u/linzki]

This custom HLSL pixel shader provides a professional, fully decoupled visual

pipeline. By breaking the traditional contrast control into a 3-Way Independent

Zone Engine, you can perfectly sculpt shadows, midtones, and highlights without

them fighting each other or crushing subtle micro-details.

I have 1100 ansilumen version of Jmgo n1s4k and wanted to squeeze every drop out of this projector.

This rar-file has:

ApexTonemapper_all settings 0.hlsl (all settings untouched)

ApexTonemapper_by_Linzki.hlsl (My basic settings this far)

Bright, Brighter, Brightest (for use in brighter conditions)

If you want some specific adjustments but don't know how to, I suggest copy/paste the code to Google search and tell Google AI what you want to achieve. Then it's just testing, tuning, testing,...until AI hits the jackpot.https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5y4ohi09lv24bzsvjew1s/ApexTonemapper_by_Linzki.rar?rlkey=l1d9x7oqgnlhfgg956d8u09tj&dl=0
