Title: I'd like to start uploading my collection here but I have a question about raws
Post by: rpgking4 on April 26, 2008, 12:21:37 PM
I Uploaded my first ps1 cover back in March and I checked it as a RAW, was that the right thing to do? It hasn't been touched yet and there are a lot of other images in that section that date back into February. Just wondering if I should leave that box unchecked from now on...

By the way, my collection numbers into the 200+ range, so I'm sure I can slowly help y'all out.

Raws are any image that does not consitute a full cover inofitself. It's hard to say without seeing the image if iits a raw or not, but generally speaking most of us want to put our old PS1 games in DVD cases, so the CD-case scans are not fitting, and thus are raws. However, if you wanted to reproduce the cover for another CD jewel case, then it'd be a complete cover. See what I'm saying?  :)

although - it could still be a raw if it is a CD cover, intended to end up as a CD cover if it needs cleaning, etc.

So since I scanned all these at once, should I list it as RAW or not? My intention was to put full CD case images up, not DVD Covers. (I can't stand how much size DVD covers take up)

Turn on descreen/derasterize... look in my scanning guide towards the end. Link in my signature.
If an image needs to be cleaned up, it is a raw scan. If it is in the proper dimensions (for example all DVD cases should be 3225x2156) and cleaned up, it is not a raw scan.
