Here's something a bit more advanced and tedious.

This is the signage up in RF for Petco park. The first image you can see how dark it is.

So the first step is to find where this is in the Stand_LM_night.webp file. To do this I create a layer overtop of the base image and then add numbers or paintbrush strokes in black or white*. Export this file over the default and reload the stadium... look around and see where the lighting is changed. You can see the upside down "11" circled in red. So now I know what part of the file affects that signage. (* Another tip is to find the general area of something by dividing the image in to quadrants or sections and filling completely with black)

In the third image you can see I've selected the box area that corresponds with the "11". In the next image you can see that I used the gradient tool in GIMP to fill from white to black. Note that the bottom of this box is actually the top in game.

You can see the result in the last image where the top of the sign is brighter and it gets darker as you move down.
