The default look, duh

• [ProFilm_a.pp]^ - Default clean screen, little to no grain and no color correction.

These effects adds or reduces colors as its primary function

• [ProFilm_b.pp]^ - Adds a bit of a brown-orange tone to the picture, and mutes colors slightly.
• [film_sepia_ink.pp]^ - Turns everything into sepia colors, making it look like an old photograph

• [desat_blue.pp] - Puts a blue filter on the screen, with slight posterizing
• [film_blue_filter.pp]^ - Adds a blue, grainy camera filter over the screen
• [video_security.pp]^ - Adds a green, grainy camera filter over the screen

• [film_contrast_blue.pp]¤ - Brightens the screen, and gives it a blue and green tint.
• [film_contrast_green.pp]¤ - Brightens the screen, and gives it a green and purple tint.
• [film_contrast_red.pp]¤ - Brightens the screen, and gives it a red and orange tint.

These filters adds film grain

• [video_a.pp] - Adds a tiny bit of film grain
• [film_16mm.pp]^ - Adds noticeable film grain, making it look like a lo-fi recording from the 70's
• [shitty_tv.pp] - Adds tons of film grain and a red sheen, looking like a broken camera with a 3D-glasses-like effect

These filters remove all colors in different ways

• [film_silvertone.pp]^ - Clean black and white, looking like an old TV show
• [contrast_a.pp]^ - Dramatic black and white with high contrast between shadows and light, looking like a noir movie
• [film_b+w.pp]^ - Darker black and white
• [video_bw.pp] - Darker black and white with subtle film grain
• [photocopy.pp]^ - Darker black and white with a low frame rate and film grain, looks very menacing

These filters gives a trail effect to the image, making a visual echo appear on moving objects and characters

• [clean_trails.pp] - Gives characters visual echo trails on an otherwise clean image
• [video_trails.pp]^ - Adds visual echo, along with a green posterize effect
• [flicker_trails.pp] - Adds visual echo, while reducing color range and adding motion blur
• [desat_posterize_trails.pp] - Mixes visual echo with heavy, dark posterization

• [space_woosh.pp] - Adds heavy visual echo and heavy pink motion blur, filling the screen with a trippy effect. Best used while fading in or out of a different effect.

These effects do heavy alterations to the image

• [ProFilm_mirror_a.pp]¤^ - The left side of the screen mirrors the right side, and gives the screen a green tint.

• [photo_negative.pp]^ - Inverts all colors, making shadows white and lights black in the process.
• [ProFilm_psychedelic_blue_red.pp]¤ - Adds a posterize effect that turns everything red and blue.
• [horror_movie_special.pp] - Adds a posterize effect that turns everything red and black,

These effects brightens the image.

• [bright.pp]¤ - Turns the screen super bright and pink. Best used when faded between a different post-proc.

• [bloom.pp]^ - Makes the screen a bit brighter, adds a subtle pink tint and reduces the frame rate. Has no actual effect in RB2.
• [film_contrast.pp]¤ - Brightens up the screen.
• [posterize.pp]¤ - Adds a posterization effect to the picture, making brights brighter and darks look like cell-shaded ink.

Add Pictures

You can fade two post-proc events between each other, making a gradual transition between them. Here is how to do this:

1. Add in a copy of the currently active post-proc event where you want the fade to start
2. Place the post-proc event you want it to fade into where you want the fade to end

Its a simple trick but can be used to great effect to add lots of flair to your stage show. There is also a lot of hidden special effects when fading between certain post-procs; for example, shitty_tv fading into video_security creates a massive wall of film grain. Play around with them and see what sort of wild results you can get!
