Installation: There are two main files. You need only one of them. Select the version you want to use and download it.
Remove any previous Reshade installation for the selected game. Extract all files to the folder where the Mass Effect binary is located. For example for ME1 extract the files into :
Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\Binaries\Win64\
If you don't like the default preset (HDR_DARK preset) press the HOME key and choose one of the following presets (enter Photo Mode before you do that otherwise the camera can spin around like a... ):
HDR_ALTERNATE_COLOR
HDR_BRIGHT
HDR_DARK
HDR_LESS_COLORED
HDR_ORIGINAL_COLOR
Press the END key to toggle the effect.
Was tested on Win10 x64 and Mass Effect 1 (Origin) but should work with the other two games and Steam.
If you have a HDR monitor and don't like the results then disable HDR from the in-game settings (options).
