I just took notice (and you should too) that the wine-0.9.58 now supports DX9 (Direct3D) Post-Process effects. Thank you Wine (or Google's $$) Simply open the options (F11) -> Grphics -> ENABLE Post-Process Effects (no restart required). "This option will improve the quality and realism of a scene, as well as achieve some specific effects, such as scene-wide blurring. In Direct3D, image processing is usually performed as a postprocess after the rendering is completed. An application first renders its scene onto a texture, then processes the texture with a pixel shader to produce a different image with the enhancement or alteration. The use of pixel shaders makes this operation very efficient, so it can be performed in real time." [more on C++\Direct3D\PostProcess]
