City Journal Question

    As a Mac player, usually most of the custom content I download will not have working night lighting. I am aware that this is not unusual but actually normal. I am doing a city journal, and night shots seem to be pretty popular with city journals. I was wondering if there's a Photoshop-type of way or some other way to edit a picture to look like it's night.

    There are a small handful of files that have nightlights for mac.

    All of my buildings do, and there is also a pack of buildings that work, search mac pack on the stex, you will find it in there.

    One way you could do this, would be to go to either the creators BAT thread, or the download page and find any images of the building that they have posted of it at night. You could then photoshop the image you find over the image of you city, erasing any parts of the creators image that is obstructed by other buildings. That would be he easiest way in my mind.

    You could also find pictures of office windows at night, transform their perspective so that they would line up with the SimCity perspective, and then create windows from that image to place over your original image, but this would require much more work than the first method.

    Also, if you have a city journal, or when you do make one, if you make it all on a mac, post it in the stickied thread mac made city journals, it should get you some great coverage from our mac users on the site.
