Can you tell us what graphics card and monitor you have ?
The graphic quality of your images is always very good
It's most likely either ReShade or post processing in PS + some config file modding
Cheers No reshades or config mods-- i'm using Photoshop Lightroom in a workflow adapted from one i used for Skyrim--basically some digital darkroom work
GPU isn't really a factor, but i am working with 1080p images which requires a bit of consideration.
(would you like to know more?)Starting with a default Steam .PNG in Photoshop Lightroom the first pass begins with smudging the fine detail of the image. Especially at 1080p this masks pixellation and lends a slightly "painted" look i generally like for screenshots, and detail can be selectively recovered to add emphasis, draw focus, etc. (The photo quality i would expect IRL is out of reach at 1080p so i would rather lean into the lower res than fight it.)
Global color and contrast adjustments are applied, then some handwork (dodging, burning, etc...) to tighten it up (deepened foreground shadows, for example, or local color adjustments). It's digital darkroom work, and pretty much boils down to messing with light Time required varies--some images take 5 minutes, some take 30. fwiw, the "film stock" i generally use is Kodak Portra 400, modified for higher contrast and saturation.
Here's an example, starting with the default image adjusted for exposure:
Then the first pass:
Finally, after white balancing and handwork:
