Ok will do, thanks!

Thanks for the tip guys! I just added it to my ENB and AA is better than the FXAA I was using!

Excellent roundup of all the different injectors! SweetFX looks, well, pretty sweet.

I mostly have been using injectSMAA up til now to get AA while still keeping FPS over 60 in games that get bogged down with traditional AA methods. Those Clear Sky shots look excellent. I'm looking forward to trying it out on that since the xRay engine was never very kind to AA performance in the first two games.

One caveat you might want to add to the OP is that Steam screenshots will not show the injected FXAA/SMAA. Something about the AA being an overlay and not directly in the framebuffer or some mumbo jumbo of that sort. Best to use the screenshot option built into the injector.

Batman AC definitely works with shader mods. I played through the entire game with LumaSharpen on (the sharpening shader now included in SweetFX), and it looks soo much better with sharpening than without.
I'm not at home right now, but if I recall correctly you need to place the files in the bin folder - and the same goes for most other UE3 games.

It's not a bug .. it's a feature

The screenshot function in most games and overlays will capture the screen before it was modified by a shadermod.
This can actually be useful if you want to capture both a before and an after shot of the screen.

The best way I've found to do this is to make sure both the screenshot function in the game/overlay and in the shader mod are mapped to the same key.
That way when you press it, you take two screenshots of nearly the same frame, even if the game has no pause function - which is great for comparisons.
If it does have a pause function then I suggest pausing so you are sure to capture the exact same frame.
