      Im looking at Satellite images for Tropical cyclone Jasper in Northern Australia and it washes out totally white on the visible spectrum. Other sources are showing very good detail so this must be a rendering issue.

        You find the Satellite images do not show enough contrast? Which setting do you use? Blue, visible or infra+ ?
        Here is a screenshot with Blue setting:

        I don’t find the contrast so bad.

            Try to select “Blue”. This layer shows enhanced contrast.

              @downunderdive said in Satellite Images not enough contrast:

              ... it washes out totally white on the visible spectrum. Other sources are showing very good...

              So i know that "blue" is showing very good contrast, he knows that "blue" is showing very good contrast and now we all know that you know it too.
              But the question was: what is wrong with the "visible" layer.

                OK, I hadn't completely read the post of @downunderdive. Sorry … my apologies.
                Why does the Visible layer have a washed out appearance? Probably because it comes from raw satellite data, without post-processing. Post processing in Windy is carried out on the Blue layer. Other sources with a better rendering in the visible spectrum are probably doing some post processing on this type of satellite views.
