what version of photoshop do you use?

If you need some material to learn with, here are some NES games needing covers:

Raws included thru the link on the message.

I'm considering starting to make covers again, I might take a look at the template and see what i can do.

Direct link me to the template we are using for UGC's and link me to a cover so I know what style you like them in.

Style is this:

As you can see there really isn't universal template for NES, altough I'd like there to be, atleast with matching spines so they look nice on shelf.
NES covers are done by cleaning the raws and fitting them to this format, usually needing only streching ang cropping the front.

So somewhat easy peasy to do.

Thank you in advance for the covers you are goingto make.

There of course are the:

Links are to the covers done in template, not to the templates themselves.

Since I don't have a scanner anymore (and no old box art, either), all my covers will be made from the ground up. I'm just waiting until I actually get some Universal cases, so I can measure them myself.

so ive downloaded CS2, replenished my ink stocks, and have a couple of days to get to work, covers coming soon!!!

CS5 on Mac here. The content-aware fill feature is really useful with my cover work.

CS5 64-Bit.

I use CS3 and I never had any trouble.

CS2 and CS5. I still use CS2 occasionally because of Image Ready (easily lets you edit and create animated GIFs).  I think acquisition a Flash caused Adobe to dump the feature :/

For the average user (I.e. someone who doesn't use it professionally), CS1/2 would be MORE than enough.

There's no difference between a CS1 and CS5 PSD or TIFF file unlike Illustrator or InDesign, so you should have no problem opening files as long as your computer has the resources to do so.
