[QUOTE="PinballPerson, post: 178473, member: 4881"] Hi all, did you know The Pinball Arcade can be combined with various wrapper programs to change the postprocessing (and possibly more)? At least the ENB Series and SweetFX wrapper programs seem to work. I've especially tried SweetFX, it can change the lightness of the colors in many ways and also add a stronger bloom to lights. While it's not the same as a fully different lighting engine, to me it is more pleasing to look at than the original postprocessing. To use SweetFX, all you need to do is download it and uncompress the archive into the directory where The Pinball Arcade files are (for example c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\PinballArcade). You should then turn off The Pinball Arcade's own postprocessing since it will be replaced. You can download SweetFx from [url="http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=381912"]this forum thread on NeoGAF forums[/url]. However, the version I used instead is a "package with Boulotaur's injector that uses CeeJay's latest SweetFX shaders", which is [url="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9739867/Boulotaur_Injector_CeeJay_1.5.1_Shaders_CA.rar"]available for download here[/url]. I created my own preset settings which darken the colors in tables (essentially a strong Gamma correction downwards) and then add a strong bloom effect - to me the result looks like playing pinball in a darker room with strongly shining lights. I'll post the contents of the preset in the next post. I've created a gallery of comparison screenshots between the original preprocessing and the one from SweetFX, I'll post them after the preset.
