I have admired and used quite a bit of your PC covers lately, and I really want to make some of my own. I have been trying to make them with paint.net and I am having so much trouble. Could you please help me with this. Give me a rundown on how you or anyone makes there covers with this program. I have so many i want to make its not even funny. I have hundreds of pc games and quite a bit of them are in original jewel cases. I want to scan the covers from the jewel cases and try and make stackpak cases. I bought a bunch of these cases months ago so I want to use them up. Anybodys help would be much appreciated. |

I don't think MisterCreazil uses Paint.NET. To my knowledge, I am the only poor sap who hasn't got around to pirating Photoshop yet. Paint.NET is newbie friendly, but once you learn to use it, you're stuck because you miss out on some features that Photoshop yet. I can help you though. What specifically do you have trouble with? |

There will be alot of questions I think. First I cant afford photoshop and I dont pirate stuff, I do have photoshop elements but Im not sure if this is better than paint.net or should I use gimp or what? 1. When I scan the front covers of the cd case how do i resize it to fit the front without it getting all stretched out? 2. How do I cut the front name of the game off to fit the spine? 3. Same with the back of the jewel case to the back of the case? I know its all basic shit but I have messed around with this for weeks and I am no closer to doing it now than I was weeks ago. |

Haha! I really don't think I'm the one to help you, I use Photoshop and all I know about it is what I learned in the one computer art class I took in High School. I only ever use Jewel cases when I absolutely can't find the original boxes though, some of my games I still had the original boxes for others I had to buy again or borrow from people I know. Since the boxes are already Rectangles like DVD cases they usually don't get distorted noticeably. As far as cutting the name of the game to fit the spine or other graphics I might need, I get a lot of use out of the magic wand tool, and magnetic lasso. So yeah, I'm really not that good at this stuff. You should ask Sheep2001 since he's the new CoverGuru and all, haha. *edit* Just read Doom's post, good guy that Doom. |
