Hello, only see custom covers for the gamecube version and would really like the retail version of the US NTSC.  Tried searching the forum too in case of double posting.  Thanks!

Here is a raw:

Hey thank you so much for doing that.  I know i'm probably just being really dumb, but what is a raw and why doesn't it look like some of the other uploaded covers?  I really don't mean to sound ungrateful I am thrilled I got a response to my request and am purely just trying to figure things out.  I'm guessing I can still print this one and it would look fine.  Is there another step I need to know once I have a raw?  I can't find a detailed description on these in the forums.  Let me know if there is something else I need to do or if raws are the same and i'm just being dumb.

Thanks so much again

A "raw" is generally an untouched-up scan of the source material. For example, in this case, you can see light reflecting off of the bends in the cover. When people make covers out of the source material, they put it in Photoshop or some other image manipulating program to remove those sorts of imperfections, adjust the color levels if needed, remove moire, etc. Once it's been cleaned up and adjusted to the point where it's all but indistinguishable to the original source material, that's what we consider to be "finished".

Unfortunately, since there's a ton of games that we don't have good raws of, we don't have good covers for every game out there yet. But we're working on them all slowly but surely.

Also, welcome. Although I wasn't able to buy anything from it, I still knew of your shop and was sorry to hear that it closed before I had the chance. Cheers.

Thanks for the info Axel.  I now understand everything at least on a basic level.  Also thanks for the store nod.  It was sad to close, but due to financial and life stuff going on it was the right thing to do.  I might come back sometime and for now I am just doing some on the side and doing personal projects like here with Baldur's, but anyways I don't want to go off topic in the requests thread.
