Sorry 3 things
- Mega tries to give adds/viruses. Don't use it.
- Mega has dropped your DPI to 72. Don't use it.
- Scans were not flat. Do use hard cover book on it when you scan.

I know the feeling. ::)
I've many times scanned bunch of covers and uploaded them.
Then afterwards either I or someone else notices something wrong with the scans or tells me better way of scanning.
Then I have had to restart.

But your scans unfortunately have fuzzy spots where the cover has not been tightly against the glass.
Those spots are nearly impossible to fix, probably needing redrawing by hand.

So please re-scan, or we are sadder. :'( :'( :'(

Thank you.

i"m still waiting  :(

Just looked at the PS2 MX vs ATV.  Unfortunately there are still some fuzzy/blurred areas.  Did you scan with a heavy book on top or the cover (not the lid of the scanner, on the actual cover).  It could be smudges on the scanner bed, but looks more likely to be the cover not laying completely flat.

The mariokart wii cover however looks much better.  No fuzzy spots.  It does have quite a bad moire effect though.  Does your scanning software have descreen or derasterize option?

I just looked at http://www.mediafire.com/view/dc2iuwxjgcwuz0x/3ds_augmentedrealitycards_custom_fr.jpg and the main logo on the front is really choppy (looks like it was selected with the autoselect tool and then never smoothed) along with being really fuzzy.  The characters on the back are also lacking any quality consistency (Mario is in much better quality than Link right next to him).

Our older covers (mind you, covers that are now over 12 years old) on this site were scanned on subpar scanners (decent scanners for 2005, but terrible in todays age) and before we had quality restrictions.  It's no longer quantity over quality.  Quality now comes first.

It's all good bud.  I'm not a mod, but I can show you where I would feel your quality is severely lacking



The yellow boxes are not full boxes, you cut the 3D box into something terrible.

Realite augmentee - has some really weird RED pixelation on the outside of the black letters

JEUX EN RA is SUPER fuzzy.  Like... SUPER fuzzy.

The blocky cropped 3D Mario next to a very pixelated (and very straight lined cropped) 2D Link next to a poorly cropped 3D Kirby next to a fuzzy model of Samus next to whatever you want to call that Pikman image (JPG artifacts + black border present) looks really.. really.. really.. really bad.

The wording for the segment below is way too close to the edge of the cover
Vous avez besoin des cartes RA
(Realite Augmente) pour jouer a
l'application integre
Jeux en RA : Realite Augmentee

Also, you changed the AR GAMES on the front... but you didnt change it on the back left corner

The Legal information is super blurry

On the front of the page, you have a yellow oval with a grey pattern inside.  I can tell you took the selection tool and deleted parts of the image.  I can tell this because 2/3s of the grey oval is white, and you have black text remnants everywhere in that oval.

There may be more reasons why it was rejected, but hopefully this helps understand why we cannot host this cover.  Sorry
