SkyGFX - Presets

1. Filter Off (skygfx4.ini)
This mode displays the game with a neutral and flat appearance. By removing any color correction or post-processing, the colors appear more natural but less atmospheric. The sky is a solid, clean blue, and the shadows are less deep. It's the game's technical base without the visual "personality" that Rockstar Games originally designed for each city.

2. Mobile Filter (skygfx3.ini)
This setting recreates the aesthetic of the remastered mobile version and "The Definitive Edition." It's characterized by much brighter and more saturated lighting. The sky tends toward a cyan or light turquoise hue, and the overall contrast is higher, aiming to make details more visible on small screens, although it loses much of the fog and "dirty" atmosphere of the original.

3. PC Filter (skygfx2.ini)
This filter emulates the original Windows version. It's similar to the off mode but with more consistent lighting management for desktop monitors of the era. It features a bright color palette, with a clear blue sky and well-defined white clouds. It doesn't include the aggressive color cycles of consoles, offering a sharper image but one often criticized for being less immersive than the PS2's.

4. PS2 Filter (skygfx1.ini)
This is the most iconic and sought-after setting by SkyGfx users. It faithfully recreates the PlayStation 2's rendering, using the famous "Radiosity" filter. It's distinguished by a pronounced orange/yellowish tint (especially in San Fierro and rural areas) and a blur effect that softens the edges. This filter creates a warm, nostalgic, and cinematic atmosphere that masks the technical limitations of the time.
