Screenshot Quality Guideline: Lighting

Possible Assessments

Approvable	Title	Description
	Too dark	Some or all of the required screenshots are too dark for us to see this creation properly.
	Too bright	Some or all of the required screenshots are too bright for us to see this creation properly.
	Good lighting	The required screenshots are lit well enough for us to see the quality of this creation.

General Guidelines

For all items, we need to be able to see them well to assess them. So we need screenshots that aren't too dark and aren't too bright!

Some general guidelines:

Screenshots should be taken either indoors in a well-lit room, or outdoors on a sunny day.
However, for indoor lighting, avoid going too bright. If the pictured item "glows", or the colours look very washed out, try removing some lights or moving the lights further away from the item.
Avoid taking any screenshots at night or during sunrise/twilight.
Remember not to artificially lighten or darken screenshots in an image editor ("photoshopping"). If the screenshots look too dark or bright, make sure to go back in-game and get pics with better lighting.

Examples

Great lighting!

The painting in this example is very well lit! We can see all the colours, shapes, and textures quite clearly. Yay! Ceiling lights were used to achieve this amount of light, and you can use as many lights as necessary when taking indoor screenshots. :)

Not enough light

Can you even see the painting? This one lone floor lamp just isn't doing the painting any good, making it impossible to assess the painting's quality.

Bright sunny day!

This Sim is highly visible in the lovely sunshine!

Too dark at night

This screenshot taken at night and outdoors does not provide enough light to see this Sim by. We can't clearly tell any colours of her clothing, skin, or hair.
