In case you want to make a true NTSC-U Vertical Retail, as promised (although a day late), here is the front of Legend all filtered up and clone stamped the hell out of it.

This is nice, can't wait to see the final product. :)

I have a question about DPI.
If an image was ORIGINALLY a certain DPI, meaning it was at a certain scale with dots/pixels/detail per inch, has been completely cleaned up and effectively its "dots per inch" have been changed drastically through that clean up (ie: smoothing, bolding/solidifying of colours, removal of imperfections and "sand" ;D).............then at that point, is the DPI of the image no longer relevant?
Sure, when we are talking about an original scan, totally uncleaned, the higher the resolution will mean the more detail and hopefully the less clean up...........but after it has been cleaned, then all the imperfections a lower than 300/600dpi scan would bring, have been removed and the image much much clearer..........and ultimately, a high resolution?
Also, this image is bigger than it needs to and will be once its imported onto a 300dpi cover template.......so there will be no issues of distortion because it needs to re-sized/stretched.
Im not arguing here, it just occurred to me that surely the relevance of DPI once an image has been cleaned pixel by pixel..........is irrelevant, and perhaps the proof in the pudding would be if I had imported this onto the 300dpi template and THEN saved and uploaded it, its DPI would be 300 and would anyone know or notice in any way that THAT part of the cover was ORIGINALLY 144dpi, as it no longer is an image that is of that quality due to the clean up done?
sheep2001:
The issue would be if you take a low dpi scan, let's say 96dpi, scale it up to 300, and start working on it. You can, effectively retrace, and smooth the hell out of it so it doesn't looked scaled up, BUT, the scaled up image will not have all the details present in a 300 or 600 dpi scan of the original image, because they were never there. Your finished image may look great, especially if it's a logo or something without much detail, but it it's something like a photo, your image may look flat.

I did quick check with planting the image to the template and it's good.
