Given that I plan to keep looking for deals on NES, Genesis, N64, and SNES games- I probably should either decide to stick to a more common vertical style for all my covers or decide to do whatever I wish and not worry about keeping it so organized/uniform. Constantly making requests wouldn't work so well I think. My collection is never going to be completely static.

how much would adobe Photoshop cost? Or is there a free Photoshop download that would also do the job for me (just creating or fixing covers for myself)?

If you stick to Vertical style you should be covered quite easily as I actively collect and store them, and if good raws pop up do them if I have time.

I think you can download Photoshop CS2 free. Or use Paint.net or Gimp.

Thanks Arseen.

I'm torn. I really love these beautiful custom covers. At the same time I love thinking about how all my games would look- all organized and neat on a shelf

I'm surprised no one has posted a guide or a "how-to" for using templates and making what covers you need using some of these photoshop programs.

Photoshop can be expensive, a couple hundred, depending on the version, I use CS3. Got it in a collection with a student discount.
Gimp is similar, but not as good, but free and should do the job.

I use retail covers with easy to make custom spines.



Here is a shitty picture of white, printer friendly place holder spine cards of them.

I guess it's too much (money and time) to invest in the idea of getting photoshop and doing some myself. Hmm....

Will have to think about it I guess. Maybe total uniformity wouldn't be as pleasing as the freedom to have great, unique covers for many of the games.
