Way to reduce the halo around things?

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Is there a way to reduce the halo around things (like the white of Ammys coat or the glow of the fire in the screenshot)? The black ink outline is all fine (being part of the art style) but the glow around everything is really distracting. Especially compare to the crisp nature of the game menus.

You could try the below mod which allows you to remove various effects amongst other things. I haven't used it myself. Refer to the opening post as to how to install and also uninstall it if you can't get it to work.

Thanks, shall have a look into it.

SpecialK is not working anymore for me (and for other people too). I tried everything to make it work to no avail.

Luckily, there are other ways to remove the ghosting effect:

- Download this zip archive from WSGF: http://www.wsgf.org/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=2197
- Extract it, go to the "Disable effects" folder
- Apply both Ghosting_in_motion.exe and Ghosting_in_static.exe to the main.dll file that you can find in the Okami folder (Steam\steamapps\common\Okami). You should backup your main.dll file before applying anything to it.
- Open the game, the ghosting effect should be gone

If you don't like the dynamic ink effect, you can also disable that.
You can do this with Helix mod: https://helixmod.blogspot.com/2018/05/okami-hd.html.
You can see a comparison here: https://www.giantbomb.com/okami/3030-20555/forums/okami-hd-xbox-one-issues-with-bluring-during-movem-1817386/ (post number #5)

It took me some time so gather all this information when I started to play Okami a couple of weeks ago, so I hope this will be useful to you too.

Enjoy this amazing game. =)

Oh thank you so much. That fixed it perfectly.

Ammy is looking nice and crisp now.

Might try it without the grain but its nowhere near as obnoxious as that ghosting was.

I know this is old but THANK YOU!

It has been difficult to find these links, even when I knew the WSGF had the fix. I was about to give up on this game, it just had too many problems to deal with. Your links and helpful post has made this game a lot more tolerable for me.

Edit: Since the game wasn't gross looking anymore I was able to get further in. Now I need a mod to fix how boring this game is.

So I just started playing this game and noticed the immense ghosting and blurryness. I assume that its because some of the effects dont scale well to 4k.

I just wanted to say a big thanks for posting these instructions. After doing this the game looks absolutely gorgeous.

Just applied this. Works like a charm. SOOOOO much better. Thank you!

Thanks so much for pointing out the WSGF links and the instructions. The game is so much more enjoyable now.

+1 man, I've been playing the game for around 15 hours now, and as much as I love this classic of the PS2 era, the bloom and motion blur were getting annoying, haha. I didn't even think to look up if there was any fix, and I'm glad I did. Thank you so much!

Using this works, but your antivirus may try to eat the programs because they function by injecting things into the game dll. If this happens, add an exception and restore them from quarantine, then use as instructed.

This looks amazing! I loved Okami but when playing it again the graphic design choices started distracting from the game for me. This also allows me to actually see and appreciate more of the artwork, so win win!

You are a lifesaver, thank you so much for sharing this!

This is the technique to use if anyone picked this up during the sale.
