Brightening a clipped bitmap

[Bwana Kahawa]

Hi,

I'm playing around with populating a Maxwell scene with clipped photos of people mapped on to planes. It seems to work okay, except they come out a little dark.

 

Anyone know a way of 'brightening' a texture map? Don't really want to edit the original JPGs of the people - surely there's a method in Maxwell Material Editor for pumping the lightness up a little?

 

Cheers,

 

Derek

hmmm isn't it that simple:

open the material

click on the reflectance 0 texture

then the texture popup opens

then use the brightness slider...
