   Oh these are fantastic! I love the close-cropped nothing-but-subject framing. That sort of structural consistency across a set makes it real hard to pick just two out for the final set- they all hang together so well. I also really appreciate your metacompositional flow of focal points and color palettes from image to image down the scroll. Beautifully done all around!

      Thanks, DV! I do like to have some kind of structure to my sets when I can help it, so thank you for noticing!

      Yeah, they should be pretty well covered here. Especially the last one.

   Throwing ENBs and ReShades together can get pretty messy, but damn if it isn't a blast, and it sounds like this was exactly what you were looking for. I think the old film stocks, frames, and effects are a perfect toolkit for a game series that's essentially about dealing with the past.
   
   Your photos here are very intimate. They have a "shot from the hip," documentary feel, like Piper snapped them while on assignment. It goes perfectly with (or maybe was inspired by) the Memories frames. And I agree with Wastelanddoctor: that shot of Pickman is fantastic, the lighting and details are just perfect.

      Well, I started out looking for an ENB for the New Vegas set I'm planning. PRC's gritty, realistic way of handling textures seemed like a good fit to recreate some NV in FO4, but I didn't like it without the VCR effect, and most of the skin tones were extremely orange. (Although in retrospect I think that might have been a side effect from Dustbowl, partially?) Long story short, I'm glad I'm tracking you for FO4 Theme stuff because I saw your Memories set, and I never would have thought to use reshades from another game myself.
      
      A blue filter to balance out the orange and some cool frames/effects later I was set. Honestly, though - I love taking close-ups. So this was just an excuse to be a little self-indulgent this time since I've been trying to not be over-reliant on close shots recently. Plus, it felt appropriate to have the subjects as the focus for this theme. Even if these almost feel a little too busy; there's the VCR effect, two layers of grain, and the frames + scratches contending with each other. But then I took the cover picture and everything clicked. Thanks for the lovely comment, and the inspiration, dude!

      Thanks! Putting together all those "art" installations has got to be messy work though...

      Thank you! It's a fantastic ENB, I'm just super picky, unfortunately. There are so many combinations that anyone can find something they like - even me! I'll keep my eyes peeled to see what you might do with it.

   That's a fine looking st,.. PRC combines well with all kinds of setups, it is very flexible in it's look also,...
   You've captured some great angles and this setup does, indeed, work very well.
   Love that suit and tie one,..

      PRC is a great ENB on its own, but it just wasn't scratching that aesthetic itch I was looking for until I added the frames from Memories. I think once the next version drops I'll be much more into it. All the shots people have shared from the new update look super primo.
      Thank you, though!
