Good looking, performing and balanced preset, bloom can be overbearing at times on maps with HDR, thankfully that can be easily rectified, great work!

I can't get this to work, when I try to select the aperture.ini preset, the menu doesn't let me. What's happening?
edit: I got it to show up but no effect options or anything appears in the box.
This mod is masterpiece! Very awesome shader. I recommend to use with MMOD.
I'll totally use it!
Does this improve the quite bad shadows in half-life 2?
no
This is kinda just MMod but without the weapon or difficulty improvements...
What is the "Home button"?
It's a button on your keyboard that says "Home".
