Overview
Hey guys!, I wanted to help out people who want to add a little ‘pop’ to their graphics ingame by using the open source post processing program ReShade! So lets get started.
Wait… What is ReShade?
Good Question!, as I’ve stated above ReShade is basically an Open source program used to add Post Processing Effects (Fog, Sharpen, Ambient Light, Adjusting Curves etc.), Basically, you can make the game look more vibrant and less blurry, or the opposite if that’s what you wish.
For those looking for a more specific explanation, here’s a piece of information taken from their website:
“ReShade is an advanced, fully generic post-processing injector for games and video software developed by crosire. Imagine your favorite game with ambient occlusion, real depth of field effects, color correction and more … ReShade exposes an automated and generic way to access both frame color and depth information (latter is automatically disabled during multiplayer to prevent exploitation) and all the tools to make it happen.
The possibilities are endless! Add advanced depth-edge-detection-driven SMAA antialiasing, screen space ambient occlusion, depth of field effects, chromatic aberration, dynamic film grain, automatic saturation and color correction, cross processing, multi-pass blurring … you name it.”
