So I just bought a copy of Dragon Force (complete!) at a great price, but the manual is missing the cover.  I found some nice, high quality scans, but I was wondering if someone here would be willing to touch them up for me and make them look "Printable" as it were.  these covers had that nice shiny lettering on them that didn't translate very well when it was scanned.   all i need is the front cover, the back cover, and the insides of each of those (pages 1, 2, 43, and 44 on that link above)

many, many, many thanks if someone is able to do this for me.  compensation (games, paypal, whatever) is a possibility if that's what it takes!

Funny, they got their scan from ratigator, a regular member of the cover project.

i would scan it for you buy i am pretty sure it will be unprintable because of the shiny text. I can still attempt to do so if you'd like. and if you can work with it, thats great. if not, its whatever  :D

there's a scan available in the links above; i'm looking for someone to take those existing scans and create a "printable" cover for me using the pages i outlined above.  i don't need another scan.  thanks, though.

The Foil makes this a difficult project. It might be easier to use the JP or EU artwork. I'm willing to do this for you but I need to acquire a good scan. I'm sure someone at the Cover Project has Dragon Force. Could someone please provide a proper scan?

the scans on ratigators are 300dpi, 2840x2385.  is that not good enough?  i might have a friend with this game and could scan one myself; what specifications do you need?

thanks so much for the response, btw

I need a better scan. It's not good enough. This is just a small piece from that scan. It's better to just obtain a better scan? I need 600 dpi with filtered moire.

I think I have a clean up front of the manual, I made a DVD cover a while back.

I restore Saturn Manual covers. I haven't provided the cover project with those because there's zero demand. I have my own template. And I have an idea for Dragon Force which includes removing the foil and replacing the text. For me, I need a beautiful, perfect scan at 600 dpi. I'll try and borrow the cover from a friend this weekend and scan it. Be patient. Here's an example of  one  of my Saturn Manual restoration projects.

I found my cover, turns out I never completed it, the front is not done. The back was re-typed.

I'll wait to do any more work until I hear what happens with Segamer. New scans would be nice.
I can send you my PFD for the back, if you want it, when you get better scans.
If not, I should able to clean up the front a bit, I smoothed out the moire.
