About Our Texture Pack:
I'm creating this pack with my girlfriend, we are working very hard to bring you best game experience! S&K is the first letters of our names and nicknames, that’s why we called it S&K Photo Realism.

We are following these principles:

•  HD 
•  Quality 
•  Realistic 
•  Harmony 

Some textures are taken by our own camera, some are drawn from zero, some purchased and some from free stores (as raw material). The point is we are using (and will use) only best textures for this pack.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download S&K Photo Realism (HD x512/x256/x128/x64)
2. Press WinKey + R and type %appdata% (or go to X:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming)
3. Open ".minecraft" folder, then open "resourcepacks" folder
4. Place texturepack inside "resourcepacks" folder (it is not necessarily to unzip anything)
5. Lunch Mincraft
6. Go to Options -> Resource packs... and select S&K Photo Realism! 

For better gameplay experience, please use OptiFine  

(it is strongly recommended) 

With OptiFine installed you will get doubled FPS, and much, much more better texture look. Also you will get access to hidden video options, custom skies, and more! And it is very easy to use! 

We do not recommend to enable "Fancy Grass" option (use "OFF") 

To enjoy intended quality please use following settings (all variants are good):
For minecraft 1.8.8 and above:
You need OptiFine! (1.8.8+) (Minecraft + OptiFine Settings) If you don't have OptiFine, watch our video tutorial below

For minecraft 1.8 to 1.8.7:  
Variant # 1:
You need OptiFine!* (Minecraft + OptiFine Settings)  If you don't have OptiFine, watch our video tutorial below 

Mipmap levels: 4 (Options -> Video Options -> Quality) 
Anisotropic  Filtering: 4++ (Options -> Video Options -> Quality) 
Antialiasing: 4++ (Options -> Video Options -> Quality) 
Alternate blocks: ON (Options -> Video Options) 
Trees: Fancy (Options -> Video Settings -> Details) 
Better grass: OFF (Options -> Video Options -> Quality) 
Better snow: OFF (Options -> Video Options -> Quality) 
Fast Math: ON (Options -> Video Options -> Perfomance) 
Use VBOs: ON (Options -> Video Options -> Use VBOs) 

*in default version 1.8+ mojang removed antialiasing option and decreased render quality in general, so you forced to use bad settings and you can't change this. You just can not achieve fine graphics with Vanilla(unmoded, official) minecraft 1.8+

You need OptiFine and Shaders Mod (Minecraft + OptiFine + Shaders Mod Settings) or just Shaders Mod, but we suggest to use OptiFine aswell, to increase FPS

mod ITSELF will increase quality: (Options -> Shaders) 

NormapMap: ON

RenderResMul: 2,0000
ShadowResMul: 4,0000

In general: to get 100% of realism textures we suggest to combine S&K Photo Realism with old popular LB Photo realism,
you can download it here:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_pack/lb-photo-realism-pack-256x256/
Just put S&K above LB in the "selected resource packs" (options -> resource packs) - That will fill all gaps!
