Usage

The new effect should be available for a post processing profile with different injection points:

• Add effect... > Unity Legacy > Edge Detection (Before Transparent) Will render the Edge Detect effect before transparent objects are rendered, recommended for Legacy renderer (doesn't work with Scriptable Render Pipelines at time of writing - september 2018)
• Add effect... > Unity Legacy > Edge Detection (Before Stack) Will render the Edge Detect effect before the built-in Post Processing Stack effects, recommended for Scriptable Render Pipelines
• Add effect... > Unity Legacy > Edge Detection (After Stack) Will render the Edge Detect effect after the built-in Post Processing Stack effects, if you want the edges to appear on top of everything
