Version 2.73 has been posted. It fixes a bug in the ImageBasedLighting settings that was causing grey hair and glowing dragons.
Version 2.73 is fully compatible with ENBSeries v0.200 through v0.212
Known Issues:
Problem: Extreme hazyness and fisheye effect. Solution: This is caused by using the incorrect version of ENBSeries with SkyRealism. Either use the correct versions with each other, or reduce the [BLOOM] and [CAMERAFX] intensity values to around 0.2.
Problem: Translucent hands/weapons when standing too close to walls or staring at ground. Solution: This is inherent in the way SSAO works (because hands are drawn without a depth-buffer test). Either disable SSAO or stop standing too close to walls.
Problem: SSAO shadows appearing on mountains and stuff through dense fog. Solution: Increasing the FadeFogRange variables in [SSAO_SSIL] section of enbseries.ini to their maximum of 10.0 can help, but doesn't solve it completely. I've asked Boris to add a variable that controls SSAO maximum range, but it doesn't look like he's gotten around to it yet.
Problem: Experiencing FPS losses when facing certain directions (particularly interiors) using ENBSeries v0.120+. Solution: In SkyrimPrefs.ini [Display] section, change iShadowMapResolution=4096 to iShadowMapResolution=2048. Settings [SHADOW] ShadowCastersFix=false in enbseries.ini will also fix the issue, though shadows will not look nearly as good.
Problem: Inexplicable Missing Textures in ENBSeries v0.200 or higher. This may be related to driver-forced anti-aliasing. Solution: In enbseries.ini under the [EFFECTS] section, set EnableAmbientOcclusion, EnableImageBasedLighting, EnableReflection, and EnableParticleLights to false. Alternatively, try using an earlier version of ENBSeries, or disable anti-aliasing both in your drivers and your SkyrimLauncher.exe.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Question: I like the Cinematic preset, but not the black bars. How do I remove them? Answer: Open enbeffect.fx with a text editor (e.g. Notepad++) and change line 34 from... #define ENABLE_LETTERBOX_BARS ...to... // #define ENABLE_LETTERBOX_BARS
Question: The camera won't focus on my character in third person! How do I fix this? Answer: Open enbeffectprepass.fx with a text editor (e.g. Notepad++) and change the focus system on lines 34 to 39 so that it's set to USE_FOCUS_NEAREST instead of USE_FOCUS_FIRST.
Question: I don't like the new rain. Where do I disable it? Answer: In the enbseries.ini file under the [RAIN] section.
I downloaded v0.221 ENBseries for Skyrim and I'm getting flickering in a dwemer ruin. There is no way for me to find and download v0.212 as there is no download link. Will you make a version compatible with it?
Like it, but the DOF got replaced by AIR ENB DOF settings because for somereason it won't focus well when i zoom in to NPC face or mine. Be it 1st or 3rd person
Now if there could be easy way to mix these darker colors to AIR's brighter to make it balanced and not too dark or too bright But too lazy, been almost 2 weeks since i started this Skyrim installation project
Using 0.279
ps. The game starts really really slowly when im using this ENB
I tried the most colorful option and (to me) it still looks really washed out, the colors are not as vivid as one can see in other enbs out there. Is there any way to sort that out expect for installing imaginator ? (only thing that came to my mind).
I rebuilt my skyrim using step and everything has worked fine apart from getting enb set up again. I used this one previously but any I try has issues with everything being in shadow. The only difference in lighting is near a flame so the sun just doesn't exist. I know I had this problem before but can't remember how to fix it. Any suggestions?

Using 0.279

After a LOT of trial and error, the best is 0.269.
Faster loading and less stuttering while playing.
Hope this helps.
Great Job overall !!
But...
I tried the most colorful option and (to me) it still looks really washed out, the colors are not as vivid as one can see in other enbs out there.
Is there any way to sort that out expect for installing imaginator ? (only thing that came to my mind).
Thanks
the latest or an older one?
But with the last 0.279 I'm getting some CTD and a long Skyrim start.
