The Very Best ME:A Screenshot Thread (with tips)

No kidding! I can't get enough of how great this game looks, even without Reshade. 

Amoebae, that could have been written by me We seem to be "playing" at exactly the same pace at the moment. I want to advance the story a bit but everything is so pretty.

I never used the Mediator when I was using ReShade 1.1.0 because the shaders seemed to be laid out more intuitively. But with 2.0, they began being organized by author, rather than by group...which boggled my gourd. So now I use the Assistant and it's not so bad. I've created a few different profiles and it's pretty neat to be able to switch things up on the fly without having to open up separate settings files...and it looks like with the Assistant, I can just keep it on my desktop and keep multiple profiles from multiple games, without having to switch them out manually. The only thing I can't stand about the Assistant is that the shaders are not alphabetical, so I have to hunt and peck for them until I get to be familiar with where they are in the list.

what program do you all use to actually take the screenshot? from what i gather, ReShade's screengrab function applies your monitor's resolution. as does good old PrtScrn.

i game in my living room, and my rig is set up to use my TV as the monitor. while i love my TV, and its 70" screen, it's still only 1080, and not a proper PC gaming monitor. so, which program (other than Ansel) will grab the shots i want at the resolution i designate?

Wait...I've seen a couple of you mention using Ansel, yet I can't get mine to work with Mass Effect. Any pointers on how to get it working?

Nvidia Ansel only works for GTX cards. It worked for me in Andromeda with a GTX 1060. However, the best way to take screenshots is to refer yourself to the very first post of this topic where every tool is explained.

PS: I'm struggling with SRWE so hard, either I'm doing things right but for some reason when I apply a profile I can't move the camera around anymore, or I'm still clueless af.

That's strange. You should still be able to move just fine (although obviously if you're hotsampling at high resolutions you won't be able to see all the scene, and your fps will make it look like a slideshow).

I'll sort out a quick tutorial on using it just in case.

MelissaGT - some of your shots don't show up for me in this thread. I see them usually when you first post them, like the Liam portraits, but then they're replaced with the standard flickr "image no longer available" white square.

I wonder is anyone else seeing this? Is it a problem with permissions, or reuploading a version so the file name changes?
