Quick Usage Instructions

  1. Anime4K has 3 major modes: A, B, and C. Each mode is optimized for a different class of anime degradations.

  2. To enable each mode manually:

    • Press CTRL+1 to enable Mode A (Optimized for 1080p Anime).
    • Press CTRL+2 to enable Mode B (Optimized for 720p Anime).
    • Press CTRL+3 to enable Mode C (Optimized for 480p Anime).
    • Press CTRL+0 to clear all shaders (Disable Anime4K).
