I am very new to SketchUp, and I come to it with a GIS/Image processing background. So, some of my workflow expectations reflect that background. I am using SketchUp for a model that incorporates a shadow study. To improve the look of my model, I imported Google Earth imagery through the SketchUp tool when I specified the location of the model for accurate shadow rendering. However. The brightness/contrast of the Google Earth terrain imagery really diminishes the shadow casting I'm trying to illustrate in this model. If only, says the image processing part of my brain, I could freely adjust the color/brightness/contrast/transparency settings of the imagery - then I could tweak things to look great, and accentuate the shadows. But I have no clue how to do this in SketchUp. Is there a way? I did a Google search, but I haven't found anything to help me with this. I appreciate any pointers, advice, suggestions - or the knowledge that it can't be done! Thanks.
