Can Bing Maps satellite imagery appear lighter

[Steven1]

Hi,

Some of our users are complaining that the satellite imagery in Bing maps is too dark. Is there a property on the BingMapsLayer to do this?

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

I think for aerial imagery, the color cannot get changed, it don’t support this parameter.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/imagery/get-imagery-metadata

Our map API “ColorMappings” can dynamic render target color to the other specified color, so it can make the image looks light, but I test it and found it don’t works for your scenario, because there are too many different colors in an aerial imagery, it works well in road map.

Changing map brightness during night shift

Hi Piotr, The code as below shows how to replace a color to black just like the screen shot shows: [image] private void DisplayMap_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { winformsMap1.MapUnit = GeographyUnit.Meter; winformsMap1.BackgroundOverlay.BackgroundBrush = new GeoSolidBrush(GeoColor.GeographicColors.ShallowOcean); OpenStreetMapLayer layer = new OpenStreetMapLayer(); // This code change the color layer.ColorMappings.Clear(); layer.Col…

And finally I found if you set this the property “Transparency”, it will looks like a little light.
bingMapsLayer.Transparency = 200;

Wish that’s helpful.

Regards,

Ethan
