Of course you can. Open the file, go to Image/Print Size and enter the size that you want (you might have to experiment a bit but usually for me 10.61in x 5.83in produces the best fit for a US-size case). Then go to File/Print and you're good to go. Don't forget to check paper type, colour settings, etc...

Probably a long shot, but has anyone come across any customs for a matching set of the Grey's Anatomy DVDs (or even Blu-Ray mock-ups)? The ones I've come across that I like are all unfinished past a certain point.

Downloaded this collection from the PS Store today but really want to display the art when I play these classic games. PM me if interested in these for yourself

I'm wondering if there are any free programs that have better functionality than paint.net.

Thanks!

I usually use Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. You can do way more with Photoshop, but it will use more RAM/CPU. If you use it a lot, you can get Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 per month. I just cancel my subscription if I know I'm not going to use it for a while.

Yup, but the retail version does not feature the art from the original games, which is why I created these covers.

I'd be willing to trade some Customaniacs.org credits/downloads to anyone who would kindly download a cover from HiResCovers for me....I don't have an account there and am looking to downsize some of my collection by printing out some trilogy covers. PM me if interested!

What size paper are you using? When I first started printing covers I was using standard Window's print that wants to scale to fit the paper size, and 8.5 x 11 isn't large enough so it shrinks the output.

Eventually, I found a program that prints actual size and started using legal size paper.

It helps to print your covers in PNG format. Also, don't print from your printer's software, GIMP, or Photoshop. Download the freeware called Undercover XP. Super simple program that ensures your covers print at the exact dimensions.

Recently upgraded my old DVD copy to the crappy Mill Creek combo pack paired with a direct to video Snipes movie I'll probably never watch, so a cover was needed.

Cool!

I made a custom set for the Star Wars prequels: disc one: 4K, disc two: Blu-ray from the first Fox “Complete Saga” box set, disc three: DVD, disc four: DVD disc two. All four discs in a 15mm case. The only trouble is I need some cover art!

I saw that eBay seller with the stolen artwork. I was willing to pay for the convenience of not having to print anything, but if it’s all ripped off I’ll avoid it. Anyone happen to have some prequel art lying around that would fit a 15mm case?

Has anyone ever made a "House 3" blu-ray cover for the "Horror Show" release?

I sent you a PM, but if it didn't go through, it'd be awesome to have covers for the Netflix/D+ shows in this style. Maybe some of the pre-MCU 2000s Marvel films as well (X-Men/Deadpool, Daredevil, Elektra, Fantastic Four, etc.), so everything Marvel-related matches.

Can someone create a John Wick 4k bluray cover with this artwork on the front (with original John Wick lettering) ??? That would be awsome!



and with a dark backartwork, this for example

The Epik Park that housed my The Twilight Zone complete series was broken on one of the hinges, so I found scans for the individual Blu-Ray releases. They're the Image Entertainment covers, but the disc content is the same so I can overlook it.

I decided to use my limited graphic design skills to add details to the interior of them (with each season being its own colour) before housing them in clear cases. It's a bit simple, but I quite dig the effect.
