Hey everyone. I was going through my GBC boxes and i found a few that don't seem to be up on the site yet. i don't have any photoshop experience, so all i can do is upload the raws and hope someone will be kind enough to make the covers for me  ;D

I also don't have a home scanner, so i took them to work and used it there. But it didn't have all the options mentioned in the scanning guide, so i hope the quality is good enough. i can always try again if need be.

Anyway, here's the covers i have

1942



Paperboy



Simpsons: Night of the Living Treehouse of Horror



Yugioh Dark Duel Stories



Also here is a link to a Zip of all 8 pictures. i don't know if that would make things easier or not.

Thanks in advance to anyone that helps turn these raws into covers ;D

I'm kind of surprised no one has made these into covers yet. are the raw scans not of high enough quality? i can try scanning them again if that's the issue.

Bump.

It's been a while and no one has come around to make these covers.

If it's an issue with my scans not being good enough, can someone tell me. I'll try to scan them again if that's the case.

I can see a bunch of "Moire" effect, which usually comes when you don't add De-Screen to the scan.  That maybe one of the issues that no one has tackled this yet for you  :-\

i thought that may be the case, but that was the best i could do with the scanner at work.

i'll have to see what i can do about getting better scans i guess...

the scanner i have at work doesn't have a descreen option when i do the scans. is there some 3rd party scanning software i could use that would let me take better scans of these covers?

Are you using the can function on the scanner itself or software that the scanner came with?

If you are just trying to use the scan buttons on the scanner, you are not going to get many options.
