RustyCardores Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I was updating the sister machine to mine yesterday and noticed that some of the new table images in the PBX menu are washed out. These are images that have come from my machine and display fine there.The game tables themselves look fine, so I grabbed new screen shots and replaced them in the PBX menu.... but these too look dull and washed out in the PBX menu.Any ideas?Cheers Rusty.Note: Latest PBX on Win7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the .png screen grabs and I've never seen it happen on either of my two machines before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carny_Priest Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Ok, the machine is set for 32bit color? If you suspect that output contrast is off (clipped whites or blacks), you can look at the graphics adapter settings and see if you can tweak the dynamic range output (either full or limited or similar pair of terms). Or change the color palette. I use RGB but there may be other choices. Might take some experimentation.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The machine has been running fine for ages and I've just updated it with some new tables. Not all images are washed out though... just the newer ones. They have come direct from my other machine which was a sister build. It's my standard practice to update one machine and then just dupe the changes to the second. This form of updating has never been a problem before.I'm a photographer by profession and if this was a calibration issue in my workflow, I would think it was due to images saved in CMYK or AdobeRGB being forced to display in sRGB. Perhaps I should just drop all these images in photoshop where I can see if there are any profile conflicts going on? (Might even load Photoshop into the pinball cabinet, as it would come in handy from time to time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtxjoe Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Maybe it is this - Newer versions of pinballx support running the DirectB2S backglass on the backglass monitor when browsing tables. See in the pinballx settings, display settings, if "Use DirectB2S in Front End" is set to Yes, change it to No and see if the backglass images are no longer washed out. If this is set to Yes then you are not seeing the backglass image in the Media folder but rather the DirectB2S animated backglass started up but not running. Since the pinball table is not really running, the directb2s backglass "lights" are not turned on or animated and you end up with backglass in its off/dark/washed out state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
