Duologue for Cyberpunk 2077 (ReShade)

Duologue is a single lightweight ReShade shader designed to work with Cyberpunk 2077's native ray tracing rather than replacing it.
It combines adaptive exposure, filmic tonemapping, micro-contrast shaping, and shadow/highlight control into one pass, leaving other shaders for final polish.

📦 Features

• Adaptive exposure targeting mid-gray
• ACES or Hable filmic curve option
• Micro-contrast for added depth without over-sharpening
• Shadow lift and highlight roll-off to preserve detail in RT reflections
• Designed to slot between RTGI and finishing filters

🎛 Controls

• DUO_Strength – Overall effect strength
• DUO_TargetGray – Target mid-gray luminance
• DUO_MinEV / DUO_MaxEV – Exposure range limits
• DUO_Contrast – Micro-contrast amount
• DUO_ShadowLift – Lifts shadow detail
• DUO_HighlightRoll – Rolls off highlight clipping
• DUO_UseACES – Toggle ACES or Hable filmic curve

---

📌 Tips

• Keep RTGI strength moderate to avoid double-lighting (game already has RTGI).
• Use Lightroom for fine tint/temperature adjustments after Duologue.
• Keep sharpening subtle; Duologue already boosts local contrast.
