Could someone please take a look at these covers (not mine, downloaded from the site) and clean them up as needed? I noticed some of the colors seem a little washed out and aren't a good, rich shade, and the red on the spine, and I guess subsequently front and back do not match most others, A Bug's Life for example. I am no expert and cannot do this myself as I know nothing about making/altering covers. I do have a few hundred SNES boxes I can scan to sorta help out if needed. Anyways, thanks you guys.

Edit: BTW about those SNES boxes, if there is a specific title anyone needs scans of please list it here and I'll see if I have it since naming them all would take me forever. Or if there is a cleaner version you need I may have it

Can you list or take a picture of all your SNES boxes?

And for altering covers contrast and hue, get gimp and fool around with the image settings, that stuff is the simplest thing to edit. I'm not to familiar with gimp, but most basic image tools should be under the same toolbar.

Mel, do you ever think you'll tackle cleaning up nes and snes retail? I was only going to case my N64 but if covers are looking this good i may need to reconsider. You, Wiggy,  Larry and so many others are doing fantastic work
