I PMed you your title layers BC

I had a chance to check out some of your covers and they may need some tweaking first the sizing on the back screen shots you need to read my "how to" post in the second post of this thread they should be 5x4 etc also are you using the V3 version of the template because some of the rear layouts seem off. Also check out some of my covers to see how they are set up http://www.ektophase.com/TG16/TurboGrafx16Covers_Ektophase.zip
last but not least some of the covers I looked at seemed to be vary poor quality cover scans and some don't seem to be scans but look like pictures from a camera. which of these covers do you actually have access to? follow instructions in my second post start with a 600 dpi scan..

then let me know if you want me to make you some title layers for the orange version
---
I'll try and update the how to post, I thought of a few things to add like saving the files properly also I may update the template to take the step out of matching the stroke and just build that into the color section..

Also perhaps we should just have renders of the covers from now on and make them a hair smaller, this thread gets annoying with all the big pics loading.

I have these manuals:

Tricky Kick
TV Sports Hockey
Psychosis
Turrican
Monster Lair
Ys Book I & II

[Ektophase]

Nice, well start with one of those, follow the 'how to' post then post a link and I'll check it out and see if i can find any problems or give any feedback.
I'll get some orange version title layers made up for those games soon.

wow Psychosis has an epic description Shoot Shoot!!

Hi, there!!First of all, great template Ektophase!!!
I followed your 2nd-post-guide with two decent 300 dpi manual covers, that I luckily found in a random t*rrent, and here's the result:
(I cleaned the covers in photoshop first of course, I used your version 3 template, but only made the colour-coded version as that's the one I'm interested and had time for...)

EDIT: The links have been corrected!

I Believe I remained faithful to the classic-original back cover of both games:



Please check them for quality and make any corrections if needed! I can send you the .psd files if you need

[Ektophase]

They look pretty good, I  just checked them out..

on kick boxing there are a couple of specks on the cover you could clone stamp, a few dust speck near the top and one large one right above the mat
on battle royale there is a spelling error in the feature's ( levers)

Also they should then be saved as jpeg I have the settings in the guide

other wise they are real nice, backs are done well, the cover scans I'd rate about a B and could possibly be replaced down the road.
Upload the psds and I can take care of the orange versions if you like or if you want I can make the fixes as well.  And also I can keep them on file in case we get some really nice cover scans. (you will still get the credit for them if we alter your files. put your name or alias in the psd name)

[provato]

Sorry for the delay Ektophase, but weekends are "gf activities" time, hehe. I hope I'll be able to post the .psds by midnight GMT+2.
I don't care about credit, as long as the job is done. Just quality-correct them and give links in a post, so that I can update the links in my post too.

EDIT: I have pmed you the links of the .psd files, take a look please.

[Ektophase]

Here's an odd one Kick Boxing or Kickboxing notice in this shot there are both
http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv33/royvegas/Turbografx%20Games%20Reference/AndrePanzaKickBoxing.jpg
The correct way is kickboxing according to Google and wikipedia meanwhile firefox with spell check wants it like kick boxing or kick-boxing  Maybe we can ask Andre Panza I would also like to know if it really took 2 years to film and digitize all of his moves  

Well here are both
Kick Boxing

I'll make the PSDs available soon.

Also there was a slight problem I fixed with Air Zonk on the last page so if you have it, redownload.

[provato]

Ok, thanks a lot Ektophase, I have also corrected the links in my post to redirect to your corrected images.

I prefer "Kick Boxing" because it's on the front and the outer box and the game screen (most naming conventions use in-game screen titles). Also wikipedia has it listed as "andre panza kick boxing" here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TurboGrafx-16_games

[Ektophase]

Yes good points, I deleted the links to the second version.

Well I got a better scan of Battle Royale after picking it up yesterday with some other TG games from a local guy. The manual was in A shape. Didn't know he had it when I went over there so it was kind of a coincidence.
Updated the cover, the links two posts up are the updated ones. Theres a little less saturation and contrast but more detail and better quality.

(PMed you the psd provato)

[provato]

Ok, thanks Ektophase!
I don't really need the psd, just the image. As for the naming part, the box account that I pasted links for, is mostly for personal storage so I keep my own naming. You can go ahead and upload the covers here in the site if you like. I just paste in the forum for quality corrections and reference.
I updated the links of the images in my initial posts, so that people will always download the latest quality-updated version.

[Ektophase]

PMed you your orange cover titles lumberjoof

I did a better Parasol Stars I just got this game so was able to get a real manual scan and I think I got some better shots in 2 player mode as well, the last one I think is a low rez box scan that has some of the art cut off and a 2 player logo over the woman in the chariot. I also put my higher quality seal over the one on the cover.
