ReShade Guide: Transparent Screenshots
Want a nice cut-out picture? transparent chromakey shots are here to save the day!
You can achieve this with a combination of two features in ReShshade: ChromaKey.fx, a technique that generates a greenscreen effect, and Clear Alpha Channel, a toggle located under the Settings tab.
1 - Setup
Make sure PNG is selected as the target format since JPG doesn't preserve transparency! Also, don't forget to re-enable Clear Alpha Channel after taking your shots - otherwise, you may capture completely black shots!
2 - Enabling the Shader
Place Chromakey.fx right after FFRestoreUI.fx- otherwise, your UI may be hidden by the shader.
3 - Take your screenshot!
You should now be able to capture shots with transparency properly preserved!
Chromakeyed, transparent images can be used in several different situations! For example, I often use it to create tutorial slides.
What about reference cards for art commissions?
Or maybe stickers with your friends. Or Discord emotes. Or whatever strikes your fancy. The sky's the limit!
This is my first guide adapted to ReShade. If you have any questions about this feature or other aspects of ReShade or GPose, feel free to ask!
