I found out that they were crooked.  I'm in the process of rescanning everything straight again.  So I say I have roughly half of all the PC games rescanned as raws.  Anyone else want to take a wack at them?

scan them straight?  You can straighten them in photoshop

Don't have photoshop.  I do my stuff on Paint.net

It would be a lot easier to have the original cardboard boxes as those scale so much better then the cd case designs which need to be resized.

The controversial and (imo) underrated Manhunt. This was released in a VHS-style cardboard box over here, with a great manual/catalogue with other "video nasties". I scanned the box and pieced together this DVD cover. The white scratches on the front are supposed to be there, btw. :)

There are a lot of my covers that still haven't been posted, like my Warcraft 3 covers which I thought I did a really good job on :\  Did they just get lost or what?

They are still in the upload queue....

Problem is as most people here are console collectors PC covers get not much love....

I'll take a look at them today guys....

EDIT:

It has begun... ;) Please be patient allthough this amount of covers(I'm doing some NES labels too at the moment) will take some time....

@Mister Creazil:

I did all your covers today.... You know that is what I "love" about people.... Always complaining but not doing their work 100%.... I had to finish up 2/3 of your covers because either they were unclean with many spots which looke ugly, or they were wrongly sized(600dpi?????), some of them had grey borders on the left and right side....

You want to know how long it took me to make all your covers ready to be posted? 3 hours!!!!!!!

Please in the future if you plan on doing more covers triple check some points!

1. Is the cover clean or does it have spots where there are greyish lines or dust or dirt!
2. Is the cover correctly sized(DVD cover 3225x2156, STACKPack 3360x2146)
3. Is the cover sharp and everything is readable!

Thanks anyways for your time and effort and please be a little bit more of a perfectionist in the future...

For comparison maybe take a look at the hexxxers covers, his are near perfection....

Regards Sebastian

I know I'm not really one to judge, but the spines on those are pretty scrunched and there are a lot of blemishes left on them.  Do you still have the raw files?

Yeah I still do.  I rescanned em so they were straighter.
