It has to be in the same folder as the exe file or it simply will not work.

I tried it on my Steam edition. Works fine! Very cool! I was really reluctant to modify the executable, so this is very handy now. Thanks a million to @Biology and @Drunq

It seems to also reduce the yellowish tint in daylight overcast scenarios also, just tried in realtime in PANC. Very very cool, love it!
