Use the Map menu to switch to Combo maps. Combo maps default to a myTopo/Color Aerial blend, to choose the map types for the blend select Options->Blending / Shaded Relief from the main menu:
The dropdowns on either side of the Combo Value slider can be used to select the desired map type for blending. The slider then controls how much of each map type is blended in. Watch the maps morph into each other as you pull the slider from one side to another.
Brightness - Use this slider to adjust brightness for all maps. Handy for brightening up darker aerials and topos.
Contrast - This option enhances the contrast on all maps.. In the future this setting will be a slider bar to add contrast.
Keyboard shortcuts - The following keyboard commands can be used to adjust the image processing sliders with or without the window open:
'[' move combo value towards the left dropdown selection (default: topo)
']' move combo value towards the right dropdown selection (defulat: aerial)
'-' decrease brightness
'=' increase brightness
