Dear all, I am new to the forum, I've searched for an answer to this question but I can't find it - I apologise if it is out there. Any help will be much appreciated.

Whenever I import a 2D graphic (as a jpg) into a model, the colours of this graphic always appear to change (they become much darker) when I am viewing it in sketchup. However, when I then export the whole model as a 2D graphic (with shadows on), the colours brighten up as if it were back to normal - I would like to be able to view it like it will appear - I realise I am doing something stupid, can anyone help?

Many thanks, Ken
