Well scanning your game covers at resolution of 600DPI would really help the artists in cover making.

Let me know when you have them ready... I'll be happy to prioritize them in my "To Do List"
If you have nothing to do... Don't do it here!

From box.net, just click on the image you wish to share with us. On the top right corner, there should be the word Link followed by an incomplete site address. Click the word Link and copy the link from the window that pops up. Post that link here, and that image will be shared.

Alternatively, you can share the entire folder with us, so you won't have to link to each image. Just go to your box.net folder, and on the right side there should be a button that says Folder Options, and right under that button is the word Link followed by the incomplete address. Follow the same step as above and you're all set!

That worked perfectly. And because you posted the folder, you do not have to update the link every time you post something new. I would suggest that you put that link in your signature so that you don't have to repost it.

As for the scans themselves, they appear to be only at 200 dpi. Scans should be at minimum 300 dpi, though preferably at 600 dpi.

Here's the Scanning Guide for reference. Just make sure the scan is done in 300 dpi or higher, and that Descreen (or Derasterize) is selected, if you have that option.

And thanks again for taking the time to do these scans. Every contribution helps!
