Way to reduce the oversaturated lighting blom and glow?

[intok]

What is the bes way to clean that up and make the game have less blown out lighting?

Do you have an ENB enabled? If not, turn off bloom :D I've never found it over saturated in default without bloom.

I turned of bloom and HDR, everything still has too much added glow compared to other games, like everyone is radioactive and emiting light.

Check out mods, like All Natural

Do you have any options forced in your video card control panel? Those have proven to be problematic in the past, specially if using OR or ENB... AFAIK, both OR and ENB recommend to have everything in the control panel set up as 'Let Application chose' or w/e the term is for your particular card.

If you're using ENB, be sure to run the launcher at least once and let it detect your vid card settings again once you have ENB active.

If anything else fails, rename Oblivion.ini in your My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\ and see if letting the game create a new one (run the launcher first) makes any difference? If it doesn't make any difference, you can delete the newly created one and restore your old original.

EDIT: Also, be sure to check carefully in teh control panel, as there are sometimes TWO entries for the same game (at least, as an AMD user, that happens to me): one that points to the actual executable using the pathname, and other that points to the Steam launcher (using the Steam's appid.) -> Be sure to disable one of them and make the tweaks to the other one that remains active.
