Long exposure relies on contrast. If your entire screen is moving, the final image will just look like a blurry mess.
This effect is computationally heavy. It requires the GPU to sample previous frames to build the exposure trail. If you experience low FPS, lower the Quality or Samples setting within the shader options.
Run the installer, select your game's executable file ( .exe ), and choose the correct rendering API (DirectX 11, DirectX 12, or Vulkan). reshade long exposure

ReShade’s long exposure techniques bridge the gap between virtual world-building and traditional fine-art photography. By mastering frame blending, controlling your frame rates, and choosing high-contrast environments, you can elevate standard video game screenshots into breathtaking, painterly masterpieces. Long exposure relies on contrast
Frame-blending relies on the frames your GPU outputs. If your game runs at 120 FPS, frames pass too quickly to create long trails without massive performance overhead. Consider capping your game to 30 FPS using RivaTuner or your GPU control panel while taking the shot. This stretches the time gap between frames, creating longer, smoother trails.
Long exposure requires movement to look effective. Find a scene with dynamic elements: A waterfall or rushing river. It requires the GPU to sample previous frames

While often grouped together, motion blur and long exposure are not the same thing. Motion blur creates a fast, single-frame "smear" that makes fast action look smooth in motion. Long exposure accumulates and averages information from many frames over a longer period. The results of a long exposure are often smoother and have a more painterly quality.
