I am notorious for not being able to have a single icon for the series "Supernatural" come out, and it frustrates me, perhaps because it's all so dark and my mind automatically wants to make things vibrant, and goodness I am not good enough that I can really make things vibrant from that series-- just one of those things I have to work at.

And yes, I've made icons for things I haven't seen however I always make a mental note to see them at a later date.. that was the case with Fire Emblem! Also people have requested stuff and I've been "Okay, time to investigate"

Maybe post a couple of caps that give you trouble and I - or anybody else as well - can post some steps to brighten/color it?

I wrote a "lighten dark caps" guide for Ask the Maker last year. It's here:

Maybe someone finds it useful?

Wait, is that still a problem or are you talking only about seasons 1 & 2. I'm pretty sure they went lighter, more colorful and less contrasty in S3. Or did they go back to dark and I failed to notice because I haven't iconned the show since S4?

So I have tried screen capping various From supernatural and of course it's ridiculous Li hard for me to lights in them and make them look good So maybe it's just like a curse an epic curse on supernatural
