If you need more guidance you can watch step-by-step video tutorials on how to install Reshade and set up the in-game overlay, Also how to install RTGI shader (For RT presets) and configure Depth Buffer properly here:

Reshade Installation and Setup Guide

. . .

Important: Presets were tweaked and tested in SDR (Non-HDR) game/monitor mode. It may not look decent in HDR mode. So make sure the HDR mode is deactivated in your in-game Display/Graphics settings. Also disable HDR for your Monitor, or set HDR levels to low. You can also try to tweak presets using extra shaders like: LevelsPlus, PD80_03_Levels or curves by yourself for HDR TV.

I plan to release HDR presets separately in the future if the project runs well with your support.

Note: Some shaders may give a very subtle effect in some areas. However, they have a significant impact on other environments. So don't turn off any shaders if you want the preset to work as it should. I'll always let you know if there are optional shaders in my presets. So you can turn them off.

The same image looks different on different screens. You might need some tweaking for your monitor's brightness/contrast/saturation if Reshade differs from the showcase.
