I added a non-cropped version of it last night.

Second poster removed.

I have just submitted new art for this title. Please watch the (W)KRP user that has submitted cover "corrections" for several of these foreign slipcover releases, as they keep incorrectly submitting the slip as the cover and the cover as the slip. It is clear that they would like to see the slips, but since the site has a function for that, he keeps messing up the site for everyone else by changing them incorrectly.

Here is another title we keep going back and forth on, in which they keep changing it back after I've corrected it so the sleeve art is on "front/back" and slip art is on the slip tabs.

The front cover for this has been incorrectly locked as the slip. Please unlock it, I will submit the case art, and then it can be re-locked so (W)KRP does not try to switch them again.

That slip is fine as the main image. Please do not upload scans as "front" covers. Feel free to add all the scans you want as packaging images. https://www.blu-ray.com/products/?p=...es&imagetype=3
But please don't add scans as the images everyone sees. Doesn't matter if it says front, back, slip, slipback. These words should be changed to numbers and have "display/main" image.

Very nice scans though. Nice work!

That...doesn't make sense. The site has a setting so you can display slips as the artwork when you look at your collection. If people are not consistently putting the slips on the slip tab and covers on the cover tab, then it screws the entire site up for anyone who wants to use that function.

Even if the numbering function comes with a replacement system that will allow you to choose which artwork you want to display, it creates chaos and will increase the likelihood that people will upload different things on the different tabs. The labels of cover vs. slip are a straightforward designation that will keep the site looking consistent. Much like the lack of rules asking for flat, non-3D art, which will almost always be presented at the same dimensions and will by default be aligned at the same angle, I don't understand why the site has cover art rules that do not help the site look consistent.

Did you miss the point about the scans?

"Please upload covers in as high quality as possible and with good colors, where the Blu-ray case is visible. Official covers/product images are primarily prefered, scans should be avoided unless there are no official covers/product images."

The site preferences setting for displaying slip covers does not work. That was the point I believe he was making. The only chaos I see is having cover battles with another member by continually uploading scans.

Also, I sent a DM about this:

This title is locked, but Amazon has a much higher-res version of the same cover.

This is fixed with your cover.

is there any way to switch around what artwork is display for these? the front cover and the slip are incorrectly labelled but they should be showing the years cover art instead as 5 of the other movies show that cover, there's a separate listing for the ones with slipcovers

thanks for that, do you need to be a certain level or tier on the site to do something like this? there's a bunch more things to change display cover wise but i'd rather do it myself and not be a bother

I didn´t really switch the covers. I just saved each cover and replaced them.

All you can do as a member is to upload the same covers, but current front as slip cover and current slip as front. And wait for your submissions to be approved.

If a Blu-Ray of the film hasn't been released seperatly, should a poster of the film be the cover? I'm asking because the U.S. release of Hellraiser: Inferno has an edited version of the Japanese Blu-Ray as the cover, but the U.S. release of Cursed has the poster.

It would be nice use the poster. But there is no rule. I personally don't like seeing a fake Blu-ray as the image for a title that has not been released.

Much higher-res image for this locked title:

Would it be possible to switch the art for Beautiful Stranger from this angled one



to this proper front-facing one?

This request is almost a year old...

Can someone please unlock the front cover artwork, which has an angled image, and allow upload so that this official flat front artwork can be uploaded?

When you do that. You really should re upload the original cover as the slipcover or as packaging.
