Is there any way to disable or lower the bloom/HDR/brightness of the game? Especially desert worlds, the tiles are just so blindingly bright that I can't stand to look at them for very long. Living tiles are almost as bad. On either of these tilesets, I can barely make out any detail due to the saturation.
 
I actually have the latest graphics drivers (GeForce 470) and things are still pretty bright. I'm wondering if this is intentional? Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about (this is from a game this morning):

The grass is so brightly green that it hurts my eyes, especially zoomed out in the second image. The portal hex in particular is so saturated that I can't even see the portal details. Also those golden shafts of light are constantly twinkling all over the landscape, further oversaturating the terrain.
 
That is really bright. Not as bad as I've seen some people report however. But could you please post your dxdiag log so we can have a look?
