need lighter version of imagery basemap

BarbaraDabney

ArcGIS Pro 3.1 - Beginner

I am looking for a lighter version of the Imagery or Hybrid Imagery basemap. I am trying to make a readable layout and the closest scale I can get is 1:743. After that, it goes dark, I assume for privacy? But we are doing a residential project to show to the residents and I need it lighter at 1:500 so they can see it better. There is a draft attached.

Can anyone help me either find a lighter version or make the existing basemap lighter in my Project?

Thanks, Barbara

Have you tried Google satellite imagery? I use it often because it can be zoomed in much closer. There's no control that I know of on the imagery dates, but I find it works well in many cases. I followed the instructions given here to put it in our portal (I saved it as a Favorite for easier access), then I open it in my current project and then copy the satellite layer into my active map. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-blog/add-google-maps-to-arcmap-and-pro/ba-p/1050830

Thank you. I did not know about this resource. However, it will not let me even get in that close on any of those. I'll keep looking.

Have you tried looking at the same area in the ESRI World Imagery Wayback App? You might be able to find a date that has better lighting at that scale (https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/wayback/). You can then add that date's imagery to your map in Pro. This post describes one way to add the imagery in Pro: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-living-atlas/imagery/wayback-server-connection-in-pro/ .
