darkness of showroom pics

[leg0man]

hey.. at first when i was just looking at other people's showroom cars, i thought they just couldn't take good screenshots because of how dark they were. but i just uploaded my first one yesterrday, and the pic shown on the site is darker than what i uploaded, and it really detracts from the look of the car... what's up with this?

Our scripts do not alter the image, except resize/recompress it to the right size.

must be the recompress, lessens the image quality - mine was 800x600

On those dark pics if you put them in paint or something and then invert the colours you can see EVERYTHING. Try it. It also looks cool. Later.

methinks its Enhanced Contrast your taking about. Turn it off and it should improve.
P.S-> i could be wrong as everybody dosnt use Enhanced Contrast. But lookin at ur pic i'm pretty sure you do.

It leaves the picture intact if it's 800x600 and less than 150kB.

I for one have banned Enhanced Contrast. Ok the game looks better but we lose the interest of the cars as we can't see them clearly ! I also disable ... Huh well now what is that in english? "Surbrillance", something like that bloom effect fom Sands of time, Everquest 2, and so much games nowdays, which make every bright colors glow.... Anyway, I remove that thing when I do a bright car, that's white, silver, yellow. It really improves the realistic look of the car as well as making the picture clear to understand

Now, I can say my pics always shows as they should, no difference between the shworoom and my .jpg opened with acdsee or whatever is your picture showing program...
