HDR vs Bloom

Roll over the image to load the comparison image.

Didn't your mom ever tell you not to look at the sun? The difference between HDR and bloom is quite noticeable. The massive sunspot turns into a murky white cloud with bloom enabled. The game doesn't allow you to enable both settings at the same time, so you have to pick one or the other. We prefer HDR, and the performance hit is acceptable.

Bloom vs Nothing

Roll over the image to load the comparison image.

Bloom looks considerably better than nothing though. The non-bloom sun looks more like a daytime moon.

HDR vs Nothing

Roll over the image to load the comparison image.

Do we really have to say anything at all? HDR. Note how the tower loses its sun-drenched color without HDR.
