If you still need to disable the more FPS-intensive effects or want to disable one for other reasons this is easily done by editing "''ENBSeries.ini''". The most FPS-intensive effects are SSAO, DOF, and Detailed Shadows, in that order. I recommend disabling SSAO only if necessary for playable frame rates since this will make the most noticeable difference in quality.

=== Disabling Bloom === | |||
Many ENBs have bloom turned on by default. Bloom is a computer graphics effect used to reproduce the imaging of real-world cameras. When a bright light shines on an object or when there is a light source behind an object, the object's edges become feathered and the object itself can sometimes appear hazing from the light. This is bloom and what many refer to as the hazy effect in many ENBs. This is not always desired by gamers and can be disable safely. Disabling bloom will provide a clearer, crisper image and a FPS gain of anywhere between 1-5FPS. To disable the bloom effect set the "''EnableBloom=true''" parameter to "''false''" under the ''[EFFECT]'' section of the "''enbseries.ini''" file. | |||
