      If you have time, send me a photo with a uniform background and I'll see what I can do. But I'm not sure I'll do it quickly.

        I have to dig them up first that will take some time too.
        No rush, in time, I will see if I can send some photo's.
        That would be great if we could improve this way ;-)

        ps, have to go now, later !!!

          I have made some pictures, but it's quite difficult to get a good result.
          The biggest problem is that the screen reflects images as a mirror and I have to have good light with good white background.

          I am hoping to get some better results !

          This is my best image up till now (reduced quality and size for upload) :

            Today I made a great picture and used gimp to get it even better.
            Still have to do the zoom version.

            This is how it looks like ?
            I already edited the artwork layout for this one :

              Very nice!
              You should add a small drop Shadow effect (#5). You will have a deepness effect for the screen (more realistic). Where can I get it!!!

                Here is the file :
                https://www66.zippyshare.com/v/w9W7OLDW/file.html

                Don't know how to add the small drop shadow effect.
                Can you add it ?

                          Very nice!!! Do you like the drop shadow effect? I think it gives a realistic touch

                            Yes I do ! , it gives just that touch ;-)

                            Shall we replace it on google drive ?

                                  Perfect.

                                  We should test if the old file is going to be updated.
                                  I think it has to be removed first.

                                  That could be an issue.

                                  Edit :
                                  I tested it and the file wasn't updated.

                                  I added the issue on github :

                                    I would like you to add the artwork for videopin for mame .
                                    It's described here :
                                    https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/31255/atari-video-pinball-backdrop

                                    Artwork :
                                    https://www92.zippyshare.com/v/9Gp7lzW5/file.html

                                    It comes from "mame202artworkall".
                                    Perhaps there is more, in there, that can be added.

                                    Though, for lr-mess there isn't a solution yet.

                                        Thanks,

                                        Looked at the links but could not find a videopin backdrop overlay.

                                          For Google Drive issues, would it be easier if I put everything on GitHub?

                                            Let's wait for Matt first, perhaps he can improve his script.

                                            But indeed github could be a better way in the long run.

                                            There are some advantages like :

                                            • forking
                                            • easy collaborating
                                            • perhaps skipping files when cloning for an update

                                            But there could also be some downsides :

                                            • how much data will we have in the future and what is the data-limit of github ?
                                            • I think cloning doesn't work when we add files manual locally because it wants to sync with the repository. So testing files on the harddrive becomes more difficult.
                                            • Perhaps we also face some ownership issues

                                            We can do some tests with a few files and see how it works.
