wily, take a look at the videos on this thread: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=14505.0 I learned a lot of this on my own but it showed me the different ways to get the same result. The biggest thing I learned was the auto contrast/brightness tip from one of the videos. In Photoshop CS6 I just go to Image, Adjustments, Levels. Once the popup comes up take the arrows under the graph looking thing and pull the one on the left to the first big point you see and the same for the one on the right. It helps your cover not look so washed out. Also, Mel is a girl so you should probably stop calling her man  ;)

LMAO at your comment

Also, It helps if the cover are you scanning is completely flat so there is no glare on your scan from the scanner.

not sure if breaking rules, and if so, staffs destroy this response at their discretion.
...
okay, i've scanned way over two hundred xbox retail covers from my games and uploaded them to the 'emuxtras.net' ftp repository.
it was an ultra pain in the arse, and NOT something i'm repeating anytime soon.
1, i'm NO graphics editor, admin (wimpy) was 10000% fine with that and edited them himself.
2, as i understand it, the modified (clean/tidy) scans are on the synopsis area of the site. again, i have ZERO interest in that sort of thing.
3, i just supply and f*ckoff at my leisure, no place i'm loyal to, just the users. (assuming i'm that way inclined as time progresses?!)
4, to get the plain raw scans from the extras repository, you'll require credentials (ftp account-user directory/password) and to expedite that, showing provable 'can do/contributions' helps LOTS!  ;D
...
so, if interested in a small stack of scans, wimpy at emuxtras.net is the man to call.
should you choose this, i'll say it here, as i do everywhere i share stuffs.
i want NO credit, or even acknowledgement, please keep me out if it, silent merit works best, and undermines the tools.
...
so, that's it.
not a professional at all, others are.
if they prove satisfactory, wooly for the cover project.
if not, there's no losses, for anybody.  ;D

Made my first XBox cover today. Uploaded it and we'll see if it makes it onto the site. In the meantime you can download it from my server if you need it.
