# Disable Depth Of Field using ReShade for Mass Effect: Legendary Edition

</br>

by [munchyfly](https://munchyfly.carrd.co/)

</br>

## Introduction

</br>

INI files to be used with the Shader Toggler Addon so that you can turn off DOF without sacrificing anything else.

It's an alternative to the Disable DOF mod and/or the `GamerSettings.ini` tweak.

</br>

:::danger
* This also affects the DOF in Photomode. There is no way around this. Since I use DOF shaders in ReShade itself, It doesn't bother me. If you want to use the DOF from Photomode, simply press the keys and the DOF is turned on again.
* I have not tried this in any other mode other than Borderless Fullscreen

:::danger
* Currently, Lens Flare removal via ReShade is being difficult because the interaction hud is tied to it. I will keep trying but I make no promises.

</br>

## Why?

- Using the `GamerSettings.ini` workaround also disabled AA and made the game brighter and washed up in my case.

</br>

Please let me know if there are any instances where the DOF are still active.
