If it is too bright during day missions (especially city maps) turn off either Bloom and/or TrackingRays in the ReShade preset.
Uploaded new version with reduced excessively bright Bloom, tweaked colours, lowered Lumasharpen strength. Red colours look significantly better and more in line with the base game. Highly saturated lighting maps look more natural. Overall image quality is preserved.
