• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Probably been posted before, sorry if it has. I'm wanting summer imagery in my area, but all of the different server tiles are in the autumn. Is there an easy fix for this?
 
Hello:

To correct both image content and color, use a plugin for PhotoShop (or another graphics application that uses plugins).

One of the most notable 32-Bit graphics application plugins in the "8BF" file format for image matching is Metrix: ;)

Seasonal Adaptation of Vegetation Color in Satellite Images for Flight Simulations (using image analogies methods):

32-Bit PhotoShop - graphics application (older version reportedly 'free to download / use'):

Other 32-Bit graphics applications that use the Metrix 32-Bit plugin:

PS: While at first glance the following linked topic may seem unrelated, the concept of using color in Blend Masks may merit exploration for aerial imagery color correction / matching as well as blending / feathering via the layers / 'lens' transparency functions of more advanced graphics applications: :idea:

Hope this helps ! :)

Hi Gary, I use GIMP. Is there a video to show how it's done? Not sure how you change the trees with no leaves to ones with.
