And also if you do the tutorial we also at the same time get to know excatly what is expected quality wise from the covers.
That can never be achieved because different cover admins have different feelings of what everything should look like quality wise which brings me to my point again => People will complain and say that they did everything like the guide said!
What I'd like from the tutorials is that they would teach even total newbies like me who have never even opened Photoshop to make covers.
and it would also be positive extra if you would use programs that are free to download.
It is a quite long process to get a feeling for ps and cover creation. I dunno if a guide even if as good as possible can teach anyone how to make a really good looking cover (if the person ahs no experience at all in usinmg ps or other graphics editing apps)
Good luck, long nerves and thank you! :D

Yeah I've noticed that! But it should get people started. And in the end you only have to please one ;) but that is not our goal, right

Yeah but to get the spesific pointers to get started is probably only needed by me. I say spesific because Youtube is filled with know-your-Paintshop videos, but what we / I need is cover spesific enough to know what is usually needed to get started to getting good covers done.
ShoothimNow:
There are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many people that never listen about the yellowscale for N64 backs. Even after reading it, that same person STILL doesn't follow the instructions properly.
I personally think that in the long run:
Train people now = better covers in the future with more contributors
