This could use more work getting the double-edges properly aligned (fisheye alert), but other than, this is about the best I could do with the source image (link below).
Note: just because the accidental color variation looked nice, I smoothed out the reddish-purple tones along the bottom &...
The docs that we see for this table depict an extraordinarily bland color scheme, fairly rare for the industry. This here represents a better guess on my part as to what the real colors looked like.
Seems there's only one photo ever of this backglass (at the IPDB), which may not even exist any more, so I figured I'd do a hi-def (2000x1752) rebuild. All the main issues have now been fixed, altho I cheated slightly and left some edge-shadowing intact across a couple small areas that didn't...
From IPDB:
There are two versions of backglass pictured in this listing. The differences are in the colors of the large rings and the color of the Ball In Play sign. The two versions are arbitrarily numbered here:
Version #1: The rings, starting with the outermost one, are colored...
Pretty terrible source image, but the best available at the time. Probably a very good candidate for a vector redrew, considering how many similar areas there are.
WIP issues are shadowy reflections, including some funny ones that almost look like ghosts with eyes, and even a ghost bunny in the middle of the image(!)
This is turning out nicely (thanks to Mark Schneider's ref pic), but there's a problem, in that despite all the cleanup, small amounts of detail are missing here and there due to the original photo quality. This can easily be seen when comparing against Wildman's version (look at the torso)...
Rare pinball. The source photo was skewed but good, and the source BG's in nice shape, mostly.
Main issues here are the reflection along the top border as well as figuring out how to repair the lettering without losing the nice lamp glow.
Fairly usable as-is, altho there's plenty of small issues that could be improved here and there, including more blending / anti-aliasing of the ski-lift chair.
There's very few good pics of this game to compare by, but one thing I'm kind of baffled / bemused by is the darker blue upper sky. If...
Why am I uploading this WIP? Mainly because there are simply no good shots of this backglass across the entire 'Net, and at least this one is clean & usable, even though it still needs lots more work. Compare to the previous upload here to see how far it's come already.
Sourced from a nice big, clear reference photo, but still needs more work. Mainly anti-glare cleanups and better pixel reconstruction where the flash once reflected (to the right of "Bally").
