Introduction


This will be a step-by-step guide on how to install ReShade 3, ENB and their presets.
Requirements


Before we start, there are some things you need to know and have:
  • TES V: Skyrim SE Folder location: The folder where your game is installed, usually located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition
  • ReShade 3: A generic post-processing injector made by crosire.
  • ENB: A modification made by Boris Vorontsov for PC games, that messes around with post proccesing and such.
How To Install ReShade 3.0


First things first you need to download ReShade 3.0 which can be found on the official website[reshade.me]

Once the download is complete launch "ReShade_Setup_X.X.X.exe" (where X.X.X is the version number) and then click the "Select Game" button.

As per the Requirements section, you need to know where the Skyrim SE executable is. Browse until you find it and select it (for instance, my executable is located inside E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\).

Now click on "Direct3D 10+" and download the presets files when prompted then confirm by clicking on "Yes".

You can close the program once it says the installation is complete.
How To Install ENB


The installation of the ENB is very simple. Just download the latest ENB version from the official website[enbdev.com]

Once the download is complete, open "enbseries_skyrimse_vXXXX.zip" (where XXXX is the ENB version). Copy "d3d11.dll" and "d3dcompiler_46e.dll" from the "WrapperVersion" folder to the Skyrim SE installation folder.
How To Install Presets


The installation of presets is easy as well. Once you downloaded a preset open the downloaded archive and copy the INI file that contains the settings of the preset and "dxgi.dll" inside the Skyrim SE installation folder (overwrite when asked). Copying the folder "reshade-shaders" is not necessary.

Notice:
If "dxgi.ini" is inside the preset you downloaded, DO NOT copy it inside the installation folder because the settings may be incorrect so it may not work.

bleurei, ENB and ReShade can do all sort of things (including reduce saturation, not just increase it).

so this enb just increases the saturation? my eyes bleed a little from looking at the screenshot.

if no textures are present but a recolor is. then no, but a typical graphics mod of ANY texture resize, then yes.

No it doesn't, this is an injector not a mod.
