I have been learning to use Unity's Post-Processing Effects but I cannot work out how to apply these effects to any UI Elements. I would like to try and add a bloom effect and some colour correction to improve my game's sci-fi look. If anybody knows how to do this a reply would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Tommy

If you are using Canvas then you can change Render Mode from Screen Space-Overlay to Screen Space-Camera and dragging your Camera with the Post-Processing Effects to Render Camera and then all effect should be visible on the UI too.
