Title: Raw - Conversion
Post by: SDODC13 on May 29, 2017, 02:54:06 PM
Trying to make custom cases for my Pokemon DVD's since they take up an unbelievable amount of space. I can scan them into my computer but I'm not very good at working raw. I was wondering if someone would be willing to work the raw images for me.

Photobucket (last I knew), compresses images into crap.  If you use something like Box or Mediafire, it should preserve the quality.

And unacceptable! Actually helping us by providing your own raws?  What kind of monster are you??  ::)  Pssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Someone will definitely be able to help you out =)

I'm assuming you are want the artwork to fit DVD style cases. The scans you provided are pretty low resolution. Can you re-scan at 300 dpi? There should be a setting in your scanner software to do this. Covers made with the currently uploaded scans will be pretty pixelated and hard to read.

That is at 300 dpi I can see if it will do 600.

Ok try this. I only did one part to test. It was too big to put on photobucket.

PS if my responses are late, it's cause I'm doing this at work in between calls.

The scan you linked to in dropbox looks great. Maybe try reuploading the scans in your first post to dropbox as well. It might have just been photobucket shrinking the images, or maybe I missed the proper download link in the mess of ads and pop-ups I had to wade through in photobucket to get to your images.

Well shit, I wish you'd mentioned that first. I was putting together a DVD cover with the standard 14mm dimensions. I'll try and start again with a bigger spine later this week.

I finished up that cover for you. It's not perfect, but should look pretty good once you get it printed and cased.

Any word on the other one? no rush as I still need the proper paper to print these on but was just wondering as it's been a while.

I've been busy with work, and am taking a break from making covers this week. Also, they're kind of a pain in the butt to make, and it's a little harder to get motivated to work on them since I doubt anybody will ever use these covers besides yourself. I'll try and get to it before the the end of the month, but if someone else wants to make it before then, please do!

I had a little extra time this evening, and wanted to take a break from playing Everyone's Gone to the Rapture, so I tackled your second cover. The spine is 27mm as requested. Enjoy!
