Lightweight shaders for quick Adjustments of (web) video: brightness/contrast curves (tooDark, tooBright, bShadows, levels) and color adjustments (vibrance, dSat, Black&White, etc.).

Shader Adjustments to quickly improve the video being viewed.

Why Shaders ?
- Shaders run directly on the integrated graphics (or discrete video card) and can be very fast for processing video pictures.
- Player integration. Shaders can be toggled on/off from within the video player.

Why are the adjustments necessary ?
- Input video may not have great capture/processing. This is particularly true for home and web videos.
- Display and display settings. Monitor may not be calibrated for color accuracy.
- Lighting conditions. They typically change during the day/night cycle and significantly alter the viewing experience.
- Viewer preference, individual taste.

Simple to use Adjustments
- These shaders are not meant for permanent use. The adjustments should be applied selectively when a video requires it (via menu or keyboard shortcut).
- A key benefit of shaders is that they can easily be turned ON or OFF. Once turned OFF, there are no hidden settings that could degrade your normal viewing experience.
- Shaders are applied directly to the video picture in the player.
- Lightweight gpu pixel shaders with a focus on performance.
- To install, simply copy the shader files to your players shader folder. To uninstall, delete the shader files from your players shader folder.
- Simple code allows for easy modification if required (ex: change parameter values, combine multiple shaders into one). Just edit the shader file with a text editor.
- Tested on intel integrated graphics (intel hd graphics, intel uhd 730) on Win10.



Use cases:

- The contrast has been pushed too much
