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)? |

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. |
