Right........phew, I must say, this was A LOT more work than I realised!
Before I go on, please know that I PM'd Spiden as soon as I said I would take this cover on as a clean up project, to both make sure he was Ok with that but also to say that I was quite shocked over the issues a cover from him had (so you know I am not saying shit here that I havent said to him myself.
).
Anywho, just so the admin's can see what I have done here to improve Spiden's version that was ultimately decided as not being up to scratch, here is a list of what I did to it =
1 - Re-coloured, triple filtered and clone stamped every square inch of the front cover.
2 - Filled in un-blackened areas of the spine logo (basically any letter that an enclosed inner part like O's, A's and P's) - as well as filling in a few uncoloured pixels at 400% zoom.
3 - Replaced all Ocean logo's with a sharper version.
4 - Completely re-worked/re-typed all the back text........all legals, info and main game description........mostly because again, every single letter with an enclosed area had not been coloured in to "0,0,0" black but more because a lot of the letter was not great and I would have wanted to completely re-draw over it all to make the colours better/sharper and have less breakage in the lettering.
5 - Filled in missing pure black areas of the back game logo's, as well as a lot of uncoloured pixels at 400% zoom.
6 - Re-coloured, triple filtered and clone stamped all four back game captures (smoothing as much as possible whilst preserving as much detail as possible).
Thats about it I suppose..........yeah, sorry, just wanted to list that so the cover admins could potentially check off (whilst still checking again to make sure of course) things they had issues with on the previous version. Hopefully now it is up to the required standard (it certainly is now at the level of my previously approved covers), so one more off the list perhaps! =
The Addams Family - Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt - NTSC-U - Horizontal Retail
