Anyone have an idea when DVDCOVERART.COM will be back up. Just got some glossy paper I wanted to print the x-files septuplet cover on.

Should have downloaded it earlier.

OUTSTANDING cover Disc-Flipper!

Keep up the good work!

No idea. I hope Matt's able to get it back online. Too many downloads are causing him to exceed his allowed bandwidth.

The biggest problem I run into with snapper scans is resizing the spine to fit the spine size of the particular keepcase. If the spine has a solid color background it is not a problem to reposition the title & any other items on the spine. But , I tend to run into problems with spines that don't have a solid color background. I use PSP 7 & what I have been doing with the non-solid color background is to simply resize the spine after selecting it out & pasting it into the template. This practice unfortunately leads to some distortions at times. If I try to select out the various elements & then paste them back into a resized spine then the background of the selected out element & the spine don't usually match. Is there a better way to get the spines of snappers that don't have a solid color background resized without distortion of some sort, especially if the size of the keepcase is two DVDs or larger? Did I make any sense with this explanation & question? Any help or suggestions are very welcomed.

It depends on the spine. I usually make the canvas size the dimensions of the keepcase spine and use the rubber stamp / clone tool (I'm not sure what it is called in PSP) to extend the patern to the edges. It gets tricky for me when there is picture on the spine (I'm not talking about the little square picture of the actor) or a complex pattern.

It is the clone tool in PSP. I'll give that I try & see if I'm satisfied with the results. Any other suggestions are still welcomed.

I hope this isn't out of line, but would someone be willing to email me the X-Files Season 5 that is on DVD Cover Art? I'd appreciate it...please email me at this address:

[email protected]

But I would then need it sent to a different address. Alternatively, are there any other servers with this same file? I thought I already had this file and when my set arrived realized I didn't.

Very nice! Great job. You should be the one designing covers for Paramount!

Noooooooo! What would we have to complain about then?

Oh wait...

We'd still have Paramount's idea of "Special Features"...

I am looking for cover art for the total movie 40 pack. Has anyone made any for this yet? The way they were packaged was disgraceful.

Has anyone scanned Superman 3 and 4?

Disc-Flipper,
Where are you getting such clear scans of the original poster art?
Chris

I'm just scanning my old covers from my VHS collection.

For a few dollars, you can buy an old VHS tape off ebay, scan the cover, and resell it. I've done that a couple of times just to get the desired artwork. But just make sure the cover you're buying has as few scuffs and scratches as possible.

Wow, another great job. Thanks again.

Btw, does anyone know where I can find a tutorial on printing out the covers in the proper size? I used the one on dvdcoverart.com before, but that was a couple months ago and I have forgotten how, and now the website is down.

C.H.U.D., what program are you printing it with?
I could tell you how to print it with Paint Shop Pro. As long as the covers are 3240 x 2175 pixels and 300dpi, you should be able to print at 100% on legal-sized paper landscape mode. Do a print preview to see how it will come out. And don't bother with glossy paper, because the clear plastic of the keepcase will make it look shiney anyways. I use Ultra or Super Bright White 8.5" x 14" legal paper and the colours come out strongly if I set my Ink Jet printer to Photo Quality Ink Jet. Those without legal sized paper can tape a thin strip of paper onto a letter-sized sheet to extend the reach of the printer.

Damn I didn't even think of that! Great idea. BTW I ordered the set of Halloween Customs I did at dv-depot. I got them today and they look great! Those guys do a great job at printing. Of course I could too with a thousand dollar laserjet! But I'll order from them again. Great job!

Just in case anyone is interested I just discovered that the 8 movies in the 'Stanley Kubrick' 9 disc boxed set fit the master box perfectly when scanned to keepcases. I knew those white Amaray cases would come in handy one day. Originally there was a documentary (the ninth disc in the set) but the box didn't match anyway. I even got rid of that annoying Columbia TriStar logo on the Dr. Strangelove case.

I need a scan of the US cover for "Don't Look Now" all-English version, because I got stuck with the Canadian bilingual cover.

I have the proper paper, the same as I used before, so that is no problem.

I am using Paint Shop Pro, so I just need to know the measurements needed to resize it so it prints at the proper size. I can't remember the numbers, something like 7 1/2 by 5 or so.

Thanks!

Covers should be 10.8" x 7.25" and 300dpi (3240 x 2175).
Under the Image menu is a Resize command where you should make adjustments to the actual print size.

I've started a fresh thread http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=236915
Mods please archive this one.

Matt just replied back to my email. He's having problems with his web-host and is moving the site to a new one as soon as he finds one that meets his needs. He said Definetly the site will return it just may take awhile.
He also said he's going to implement a limit to the amount of downloads so the site doesn't use up all the bandwidth quickly.
So basically we just have to be patient.
Chris
