My Pinball Playfield Swap - Stargate - All Electronics Done!
Witchboard:
Did you just scan it by using a flatbed scanner and laying it on the playfield and piecing all the scans together? I have an old playfield that will need extensive touch-up work and I'm much better in Photoshop than I am with paint and a brush. Picking your brain to maybe see what my options are. ;D
ChadTower:
Scanning and vectorizing would be good, though I would imagine true color matching in the final print would be a hella ---smurfette---.
Witchboard:
The playfield is so aged, I doubt I would be able to get an exact color match anyway. I could always do vector paths in Photoshop and split the colors up by layer. At least that way all the colors would match themselves. ;D
ChadTower:
Well, there would be two paths for this:
1) Make a full playfield decal and not worry about 100% colormatches, but then you're losing 95% original and undamaged playfield.
2) Make playfield "patch decals" and retain as much original playfield as possible, but then you have colormatch issues.
Witchboard:
This is an old EM machine that I'm looking at. Saying I could keep 95% original may be awful generous considering it looks like at some time there may have been water on the playfield. I'm only basing this on the bottom portion that's covered by the metal guards where the wood is starting to separate and seems discolored. To be honest, it may not even be economically feasible to create a full playfield decal for this pin.
I'm not meaning to threadjack, just was interested in the process that Budda used to scan his playfield.
