Disable Depth of Field and HDR
- Significantly improves image quality and avoids several graphical issues caused by the Depth of Field
- Depth of Field is buggy and several game events can cause it to temporarily enable or disable itself. Changing areas seems to usually correct the issue.
- Disabling Depth of Field may cause a "ghosting" effect to occur during Spring Harvest, either showing a still image of the last point the game was ALT+Tabbed or simply fading to black at random intervals, rather than the extreme Depth of Field effect as intended
