Hey gang, been gone a while with work, but been working on latest project, just hate what the studio is putting out. Still have a lot of work detailing the back so its just a WIP right now.

I don't need to do anything. I'm happy with them just the way they are.

Oh I understand, but you can't be an artist and NOT expect comments like that. That's all I'm saying.

See above. Artists will get them no matter what, there's nothing you can do or say that will stop it... so you either shrug it off and move on or make the changes. But getting butt hurt over it won't make it go away.

Then take the layer and go select > color range and select the black with 100-150 "fuzziness" and delete it. That way he fades into the black you've chosen as the background.

Note: if he has a layer mask, then you could just adjust the layer mask with the clean edge tool.

thanks for the tip. i planned on just redoing to entire layer from scratch.

Awesome gatefold packaging, civiclx! (Is there a Photoshop action for that sort of thing?)

Anyway, I submit this, based on the infamous Variety ad. (If/when Criterion gets to this, the tech specs may change.)

nichart · 07-25-2012, 03:41 AM

They finally announced the special features for this today, so I was able to finish it... Here it is...

Not quite done.

Snow White and the Huntsman was theatrically in Dolby Surround 7.1 so the Blu-ray should be the same. Not 5.1

Bravo! Good to see you around dv8!

It's interesting, I asked which version of "Never Say Never Again" people preferred and there was no response, tagline or no tagline. Judging by the downloads on Customaniacs, the with tagline version seems the more popular:

BTW, I also am using the with tagline copy for my shelves.

Oh, I am not hurt by comments...I am pretty thick skinned I just was like "Well if you don't like it...tough!" I made the covers for myself, nobody else.

Those are pretty sweet! would there be a way to combine them into one?

Heck, I would go for one with just the 'A' logo on the front!

I love this one. But it does remind of the annoyance that Halloween 2 is getting re-released again this year with more extras.

Riddler The Slag · 07-25-2012, 04:22 PM

So has anyone toyed with the notion of a custom Jaws Blu-Ray cover?
