Here's how I "fixed" The Witcher 3 Remastered lack of contrast This biggest complaint I've seen for this game and that's a fair criticism since some scenes can look too flat compared to the OG version. The reason for why this is happening is due to Global Illumination, when you add Ray Tracing effects to a game you get the effect that is also known as bounce lighting, the sun hits the ground and the light scatters across the scene making everything look slightly brighter. There's also a bloom effect that CDPR has added to the remastered version which does contribute to overall lighting of a scene. To change that, you can turn off Bloom effect in the settings and lower gamma until you reach your desired result. This comparison shows how different the game can look if you change the gamma settings
