V1:

- Custom LUT palette and settings, carefully balanced.
- Custom edited REINHARD filter, the filter was heavily focused on and based on this filter, every other value was actually accustomized to it.
- 2 custom lens flares/dirt masks designed by me, to use the 2nd one just rename it. 2nd mask gives more blue tones and BF3 feeling.
- Custom bloom settings made to simulate ambient occlusion on ground objects.
- Custom sharpener filter measured for the game.
- Custom vignette in sand yellow color with measured parameters to help simulate masking for helmet/goggles but also help create "aura" over HUD for better reading and immersion.

V2:

- Completely redesigned LUT color palette.
- Redesigned dirtmask to include spectrum and light 3D effects.
- Toned down bloom and adjusted HDR.
- Added optional filter adjustments (off by default) for Gamma and Vibrance.
- Other minor parameter adjustments.

V3:

- Enabled Technicolor chemistry and tuned values to make overall colors more natural.
- Fixed color palette bug.
- Added use of Boris Vorontsov's 3D lens flare with custom designed texture and values. This helps make explosions and bright objects draw attention as well as add optical emulation of hi-tech hardware and goggles.
- Enhanced Sharpener, it's stronger now, did this to make it work better with new effects.
- Added shadow noise (off by default) with custom texture and values. Helps add detail to very dark objects.
- Added 3D ChromaKey/Aberration filter with custom values. Makes the whole picture look optical, sharper, more immersive and cinematic, blurs edges with blending colors, smears texture to achieve footage emulation. Very popular with games today.
- Enabled SMAA antialiasing (off by default) and balanced values. Helps smoothen edges on high resolution screens. Not mandatory thus off by default, may increase FPS if used instead of MSAA in-game antialiasing.
- Added heat distortion with custom designed texture and values. Experimental feature simulates heat, off by default.

V4:

- Added 2 new color formulas to improve color balance.
- Minor updates to settings.
- Toned down HDR bloom and lens masking.
- Adapted RealDust for higher resolutions (1920x1080 is RD native)

V5:

- Moved lens dirt mask to alternate source.
- Added fisheye effect to fix game FOV and emulate optics in vehicle HUDs and emulate slight helmetcam feel.
- Improved 3D Lens for bright objects.
- Added Anamorphic glare which reflects environment in real time to simulate offlection on glass and high tech optical surface such as protective goggles.
- Added gaussian glare leak to emulate light rays and reflections from bright objects.

V6:

- Added Luma Abs Curves to balance shadows.
- Added Gamma and Tone limitter to balance brightness and color intensity further.
- Toned down aural vignette.
- Improved lightmap lens texture to include omni rays.
- Adjusted REINHARD filter.
- Introduced BUNDLE.

v7:

- Adjusted various filter parameters for better balance.
- Added Chapman rays.

v8:

- Adjusted LUT.
- Abberation fix.
- Adjusted bloom.
- REINHARD recalibrated.
- Multiple color formulas changed.

v9:

- Added a leveler to make shadows darker and bright spots contrasted.
- Added tonemapper setting to achieve semi HDR feel.
- Moved HDR level from 16bit to 32bit for a larger array of colors.
- New method of LUT palette design.
- Added HBAO and Bokeh DOF in some games.
