Step 6 of 7
Post-processing filters (PP filters)
A PP filter sets the final look of the image: colours, contrast, exposure and bloom. It's the difference between "game" and "photo".
The short version
- Filters must be installed by hand. Content Manager's drag-and-drop leaves files out, so the filter looks wrong.
- Most filters are made for Pure: install CSP and Pure first.
- Turn post-processing on, then choose the filter in Content Manager.
What a filter really is
The filter itself is one .ini file in the ppfilters folder. Modern filters also bring scripts and Pure settings for the config-ext folder, sometimes LUT files too. All parts together make the look.
