The biggest problem I have is finding decent images to use when I build my tables, I'm pretty sure we all have that problem. It's not that there aren't a lot of pictures, it's just seems that 95% of all the people out there don't know how to use a camera. :)
One of the biggest problems is the lighting conditions, a lot of pictures are glared, or way too dark to be useable. It's been something that annoyed the crap out of me for years, and I finally decided to do something about it. Using a couple of filters and some other stuff, I believe I have a decent way to restore the images, and make dark images more life like, brighter, and restore the lost detail from a dark area.
I attached a sample, and it came out very good. A before and after of the same image. If people have a full playfield/backglass/plastics etc that are too dark or have very dark areas, maybe Jon can set something up, upload them, and I will see if I can correct them to have the same lightness across the entire image.
