Mod Information.
This is a combination of several different setting files and programs I found I could use with one another (after some adjustments) for Left 4 Dead. It adds detail, shading and lighting, while enhancing colors but not altering the base colors of the game. Settings image can be found on my profile.
To make adjustments to ENB, alter the enbseries.ini configuration settings file, found in the L4D folder.
To make adjustments to Sweetfx, go to \SweetFX\Presets and alter the Left 4 Dead.txt file.
The default settings file is located in the SweetFX folder, SweetFX_settings.txt, however it is not used for the settings as the SweetFX_preset.txt file is directing it to the presets folder (alter to match, if you make change to location or name of settings file).
Using the Printscreen, will generate ingame screenshots.
They can be found placed in the Left 4 Dead folder.
Use FastStone Image Viewer, to convert them to jpg or other formats.
Alter ENB and SweetFX settings as you like.

Replace the d3d9.dll with one of the alternates provided.
Updated version contains altd3d9 folder with alternate ENB launchers included.
Nvidia users can use this mod (Thanks to khalilsm) to allow the game to run if you have any issues.
Rename the d3d9.dll that came with this mod to d3d9orig.dll and place the d3d9.dll from that mod with it.

do i drag the contents of the mod or just put the entire mod in my l4d main file?

Ah, sorry I missed your comment. Glad you got it all sorted. I'm updating the info and links on these. If you use a newer Nvidia, check out my profile for the DSR setup notes.
ENB and SweetFX files can result in VAC bans if the DLL or EXE files are edited.
they aren't injected and running game repairs don't effect the files, pressing F12 for Steam Screenshots won't show the effects either, Steam doesn't see it. Printscreen shows the effects. As well I've been playing the L4D2 version and this one never got booted out of an online game yet.
