I play it by ear with each cover. Sometimes you have to chop off developer logos in order to center the artwork or logo and other times you don't. Just do it however you think looks best.

I think the cover is bright enough as I lightened it up already.

Oh cool. Thanks. I guess I'll just start with whatever is in the rest of my collection unless someone wants a specific one from my earlier list.

Do you know of a faster way to scan images? In PS I go file>import> EpsonTwain it works fine but always prescans and closes after every scan. Should I just try to use the Scanner independent of PS? Any suggestions?

That is how I do it in PS, but it doesn't close PS in between scans.

It doesn't close PS but it closes the scanning utility. I've used a scanner before a long long time ago where if you were doing a bunch of scanning you could have an area selected and all your settings set up and just put your item in the area and hit scan. This was forever ago on an old work PC without PS. Any ideas?

These are teriffic guys. Very nice work. Any chance of getting covers for the following:

Boktai
Boktai 2
Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars
Game & Watch Gallery 4
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror


I'd scan 'em for ya if I had a scanner. :(

Ho wlong did it take you guys to get your cases? I ordered mine first thing Monday and they're still putting my order together. Just slap them in a box and get them out!!

Well I realized that the first logo was the wrong size and blurry so here is a new logo. It's very sharp and clean and should look nice when printed.


or if thats not visible here's a link to another hosted image link

Mij, this one really looks much better. Hopefully everyone starts using these. If I find the time, I might even start putting this in the old covers. It shouldn't take too long.

I know this isn't much of a difference but in my opinion, the white border is too thick. Could we use something like this. Once again, I realize there is a very little difference.

Sure I was just offering a sharper image. I dont care how thick the border is.

Hey guys -
I'm really glad you guys (esp. snowcone) have really run with this! I don't really have the time these days to fuss with this, so I hereby pass the OP torch to Snowcone.

Snowcone - I would suggest that we either kill this thread and have you start a new one (so you can update the running tally in the OP), or have you put these on a webpage somewhere and just keep this thread alive as a place to discuss the covers and set up scan trades, etc. Or, we can keep this thread like it is, and you can just PM me new BBcode whenever you want and I'll post it in the OP.
Whaddya think??

PS - I'm really glad you guys have come up with a better res scan of the GBA logo; mine looked like ass.

I can build a Photoshop action to do that automatically, no need for you to do so.
