When hearing about the upcoming REX Atmos, I started to tune the filters a bit further. It's been mentioned that there's too much of a yellow tint in the sim, which I agree with. I used the colour filter and applied a tint colour of 30% and a tint intensity of 20%. I think the result is a bit better. 

Default (HDR):

Nvidia filters (HDR):

The settings that I currently use:

Colour

• Tint colour 30%
• Tint intensity 20%

Brightness/contrast

• Contrast 15%
• Highlights -50%
• Shadows -10%

Details

• HDR toning 14%

I'd be interesting to hear how other people use Nvidia filters.

Brightness Contrast

Gamma -10

Highlight -30

Contrast +15

Colour

Temperature -6

Vibrance -10

Details

Clarity +30

Been running these settings for a while. Gets rid of the word not allowed filter and also tones down over saturated gamey colors. Gamma corrections gets rid of washed out colors during day time.

I tried this but feel that the overall image gets a little bit too dark.

This looks like you're looking at it through a blue lens. 

I'm not sure why people think the slight yellow tint is a problem, considering that's what natural sunlight looks like according to physics. 

As someone who dabbles rather heavily in photography, this position honestly baffles me. 

Here's a picture taken with a high quality camera and lens in natural sunlight at 1 PM in June. This is straight JPG conversion from the RAW without any editing whatsoever. The yellow tint is clearly visible because that's how natural sunlight looks filtered by this planet's atmosphere.  

By all means, if you like to watch stuff through a blue filter, more power to you, but REX Atmos and all these manual efforts to remove the "yellow tint" are making the visuals less realistic.

this subject is so subjective , every screen , every set of eyes , every setup is soo different , last time i asked this question i got hundred's of different answers lol ! , aim fiddling with the NVIDIA app right now also my tv's settings and will probably do so for ever trying to get the  "perfect" picture . its fun though 😊

Should never get dark as it only controls color saturation.

It's not that I necessarily like that. It's more that I dislike the slight yellow tint.

I don't disagree. I guess the issue with these filters is that it can turn into a rabbit hole rather quickly. For a long time I didn't bother with the filters.

It's taken through a window though, which would change things a bit. Btw I've done quite a bit of landscape photography, and I've never converted a RAW file to JPG without editing in Lightroom.

But I also use modified color settings in NVCP and in the menu of the 4K tv’s

All of this is so very subjective that it's difficult to say what's "best." Also that image of that 747 looks pretty washed out and from my experience in photography, I would have never allowed my camera to convert to jpeg as it usually cannot do the picture justice. RAW should be edited appropriately in a software like lightroom etc. Again, also subjective.

There a few YT creators out there that have good guides on this.

Not really. Most of us (from I have read on this forum) use some of filters to begin with. We don't know much about the REX product yet so its too soon. CptPiett is only trying to start a discussion, not an argument. MSFS default looks washed out in some areas and some areas it looks too vibrant etc.

A window won't magically turn the light to yellow. Here, two more from an observation deck, no window in the way. I'd have thousands to show, all with the same results. The "yellow tint" is what reality looks like because of the way the planet's atosphere filters sunlight. 

Of course, pictures can be edited in lightroom, but if you do so to remove the yellow tint, you're misrepresenting reality. More power to you if you think it looks better, but that's simply not how physics works. I normally aim for the most natural possible white balance in camera, so the RAWs will be very close to reality already.

I highly doubt that most people use filters.

What part of showing that the much maligned (by some) "yellow tint" is what reality looks like is an "argument" and not part of the discussion? If you like your sim to look something different from reality, more power to you, but it's high time that the urban legend about the "yellow tint" being an issue is identified as what it is, just a misrepresentation. 

There's a reason why most games that attempt to represent realistic visuals have that yellow tint, and that's because that's what reality looks like.

Again, with your yellow tint. We get it. We heard you. You are heard. Still, this is subjective.

Don't like that I keep saying subjective? Its as bad your constant "yellow tint" you keep bringing up. We get it but it's still subjective.

Why? Photography is a little different for your argument. Might not be the best approach with these filters but here we go anyway... You have to edit RAW images the overwhelming majority of the time. Again, you're arguing with something fairly subjective here. Photography is an art. Its not an End-All-Be-All because you said so. Arguing your opinion doesn't discount my opinions as everyone here has different settings, different monitors, monitor settings etc etc. Plus, taking these pictures must of been taken with a zoom lens otherwise....or you work(ed) at Haneda and were given access somehow to take these shots? Either way, I do like you ANA picture and the three Japan airliners in a row. That is a cool picture. I would have likely edit some of the highlights and shadows but that's me....

The mere fact that my office space has a window with the sun peaking out changes a a bit how my monitor looks, for example. My monitor is likely very different from yours. And yes, using the NVIDIA filters does make a great deal of changes. Heck, my monitor settings are different and sometimes I make some changes.

All of us dont have access to jump in a plane and take pictures from above where we live at various times of the day. The best we can do is make it look halfway decent.

The yellow tint removal/addition is not an urban legend at all. Your yellow tint argument itself is already becoming an urban legend  haha

Nvidia filters made my sim look wwwaaaaayyy better than before.

I posted an image like this a couple of years ago. The only replies I got were about a reddish tint.  So, the whites in your image look redish or purplish to me 🙂, even though on your screen it looks ok

It is a FACT MSFS 2020 has too much green/yellow.  In many cases the roads can have a green tint.  Green fields are often cartoonist and nothing like reality.

The latest UK WU proves correct colours can be produced by default, just look at the area around EGNM (Leeds) which is spectacular
