MisterG Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I have to say I love this game, I'm not a huge fan of the organic style (I prefer more human shapes), but the game is sooooo good I'm happy to ignore. What I would like to see though is the colours working as they are intended. If I use the exalabur from the founders program, most colours look like they should. If I use Ash however, all the colours are very "muddy". This means that regardless of the colour I use (and I have a few palettes), he always kinda looks the same. Is there any chance you can remove the "base" colour, so we can use the colours we have (eg all purples look pink on ash, blues look blue/gray and greens look muddy). Are all the characters like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ced23Ric Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Protip: Options, Graphics, turn off colour correction. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulzscha Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The game does look soooo much better with color correction turned off. It's like haze got lifted over everything. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathyriel Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Turned it off to see what it did... never turned it back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akacorpse Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Still extremely curious how everyone but myself dislikes Color Correction... Maybe it's my monitor, but turning CC off gives me a slight pinkish haze, and that's where I see colors being muddied. Turning CC on makes it slightly darker, colors more vibrant, and the haze goes away, leaving the colors and blacker blacks. Strange. Can't stand CC being off.

ValhaHazred Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 That has to be your monitor or graphics card. CC just blue shifts everything for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatr Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Disable color corection and slighty increase contrast followed by a small brightness increase, this way the game won't look washed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covenant-R Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) I would love to hear any Dev's actually explain what the color-correction does. Because for me, Disabling color correction lowers the contrast quite a bit and also changed the white balance so everything looks like it has a pinkish hue. The big difference should be because I have a monitor that is calibrated with colorimeter, and also does both AdobeRGB and sRGB, and it's calibrated for a daylight white balance of 6500K. Normal within PC for a long time, is, especially from the CRT era, to have something along the lines of 9300K or thereabouts. Which compared to anything on paper in sunlight, is extremely bluish. So if I would hazard a guess to what color correction does, is that the game assumes a standard 9300K monitor(correction=off), and color compensates by pushing the color balance more to the blue end if you have a daylight balance monitor(correction=on), which is why, on a 6500 monitor with correction turned off it would put all whites down into the yellow/reddish end. Here's a couple of images that shows the difference, all set to a sRGB colour profile. CC=On has more contrasts and clearer colors, CC=Off has a reddish cast over the map and less contrasty look. CC Comparison CC On - System Map CC OFF - System Map ps.These might actually look very blue vs. alright if you have a monitor that are set to a bluer color balance like 9300K. In that case, CC=Off should look alright, and CC=On should look very blue.ds Edited May 5, 2013 by Covenant-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeseHasLeafs Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Given that I don't have a colour calibrated monitor(how many people do? Or need one, for that matter? [unless you're one of those graphic designers/in some field of work that requires it]) I just keep it on. I like it. I guess it's a matter of personal preference. The performance impact is nil anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
