Yeah on closer look it was good, adding bit of brightness restored the "missing" detail and made the black shirt guy look bit less like plastic.

Good work.

PrimeGoat:
Thanks. The colors in the image you posted are MUCH better. I'm stuck with the colors of the scan that I worked with. However, I'm gonna see if I can use the image you showed to remap the colors in my scan :)

Also, a really cool filter in Photoshop is called Curves. You sample the part of the image that's supposed to be white, and the one that's supposed to be black. And it redoes the entire image, giving it crisp blacks and bright whites. You can see the effect in my work.

Arseen:
I use Paint.net, but it might have similar function.

Welcome to The Cover Project, PrimeGoat!

I have been helping this site since 2013. It's so nice to see another contributor. Want to make some NES, Super Nintendo, and Nintendo 64 covers for Shadowfox's Custom Game Cases? I have a template for that. The template has Moviefan2k4's full size dimensions. I have other templates too. I also have 200+ covers. Follow the link to my Box account and download anything you'd like. This site is all about sharing, after all.

PrimeGoat:
Thanks, rockabilly. What exactly is Shadowfox? I keep seeing it, but I don't know what it is. At first I thought it was a game, but I'm beginning to realize that it's not a game, but rather something else. Care to explain?

Let me know if there's any specific cover you'd like me to do. Also, please explain the difference between templates and scans. I'm guessing the template is a perfect photoshopped replica of the generic portions of a scan? Ie. the content that I see in these templates, it's common across multiple games.

I have noticed that someone else's template that I looked at has some issues with their barcode. First of all, it has anti-aliasing, so the barcode isn't crisp. Second, the barcode is for a specific game. In the spirit of making authentic repros, wouldn't it be a good idea to have the correct barcode too? What are your thoughts on this? Is this a common thing to do? If not, I can change that. I've done some automated barcode generation in the past when I did Fake IDs. I could probably code something that would look up the UPC of a specific game and then generate the image and place it into the template in Photoshop. What do you think? Good idea?
