P3D v4 Sattelite imagery [Photoreal] diffrences issue

[HADDAD]

Hi all
I'm about to start making a photomap scenery
im facing a probleme with imagery color diffrences and cloudy parts >>>

Is there any way to buy a clean sat imagery server or a good image editor to fix this ?? thanx

If this is commercial I would definately go for a paid image provider - you will probably get clean imagery at a much higher res as well.. I see your Google watermarks everywhere.

However, A bit of photoshop colour matching wouldn't hurt

For any scenery you distribute, commercial or freeware, you need to find or buy imagery that you are allowed to distribute. Using snapshots from Google Earth is not allowed.

In some regions cloud free imagery is hard to find, but it can help to compare different years of capture.

To minimize colour differences it's best to use images that have been captured at the same time.

Ha, this is typical and based on the content, I would guess it is in a part of the world that has nominal coverage, meaning outside the contiguous 48 United States. It is entirely likely that Google has licensed the only available imagery to run through their browser - trust me, much of Kuwait is this way and if that is Sinai Peninsula, maybe? You'll have similar coverage and in that case you are going to have to get used to matching the patchwork collage of provided images.
It might be better to enhance and extract the details as a layer and apply that layer over a hand drawn background. In this way to can retain the authentic characteristics of an area and more accurately represent it as you intended.

I have bought imagery from Harris Geospatial for the United States, but I am pretty sure they do other countries as well.

If you look in Google Earth you can typically see from which provider they got their imagery. So that's a good starting point.

You can look at the bottom of Google Earth (even in Google Map that you open via web browser). There is an "©" sign indicate who hold the copyright of this satellite photo. Then you just Google that name (in this case, search for Digital Globe) and contact them. In my country there is a sale representative that I need to contact them in my language (which is very convenient). If there is no sale rep. you can contact them directly.
I have been purchasing a number of satellite photos and I think it worth the money. They will correct those color miss match, contrast, brightness for you. I used to do those and I think it is not easy to correct the photos to be seamless.

Typically you will get geo-referenced Geotiff files. But they can be read like normal TIFF images in any graphical editor.
