Witcher 3 and ReShade: All you need to know about advanced post-processing.

Guide on how to get started using ReShade injector for Witcher 3

Introduction

Have you ever wanted to give your Witcher 3 an stunning look? If yes then this this guide shall provide you with full insight on ReShade injector(Witcher 3 with custom ReShade preset)

What's ReShade?

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.

Quick question: Ingame it only lets me select the "DefaultPreset.ini" not the "Reshade.ini".

Some help?

[Sensei]

A desaturation effect would be helpful. I think the game is waaaay too colourful. I'm using a monitor preset for that - looks way better and more "realistic".
