Custom Cover Art Thread - Page 861 - Blu-ray Forum

Does anyone have the conversion cover for the Clark Gable Mutiny on the Bounty? I see one at Customaniacs, but I don't want to join for one cover. I can Paypal someone for the trouble.

Artist says they are for 12mm spines, if I'm not mistaken, but having trouble finding 12mm 4 disc cases. Any ideas?

I believe the designer actually meant 22mm. The photo of the printed cover looks to be on a 22mm 4 disc case.

Does anybody have any tips for actually printing covers out? When I print them they always end up the wrong size but I have no idea why.

Is there certain 'tricks' or anything to get them to print correctly to fit 11mm/14mm/25mm cases etc.?

Thanks.

I downloaded the Omen covers and checked the size and they are 3166 x 1746 so, yeah, these would be considered sized for 12mm. Actually a little small for 12mm. I size my covers at 3164 x 1748 for 11mm Vortex cases and the fit is very good.

I'm going to resize this Omen cover for a 15mm Viva Elite as that is what I have. If anyone needs a resized cover, drop me a PM with an email and which version you want ("Raven" or "Wolf").

They have tips in another thread, here's what they say:

4. Now, all computers have a problem printing JPG covers, because they want to re-size the image to fit the page, and never really allow you to choose the size. So, unless you have Adobe Creative Suite, you will need a program like UndercoverXP. This program sizes them properly and other users seem to think it is the best one to use (I don't use it myself tho, because I don't need to!).

5. For those of you that do have Adobe's programs (specifically Photoshop), you can use them to print covers at their actual size.

Thanks. I have been using UndercoverXP but my templates didn't seem to work. After about 20 trial runs I now have templates for 11mm, 14mm and 25mm covers.

Has anyone made custom covers for the Batman 1966 tv series?
I hate fooling with the cardboard cases, I'd like the same covers that came with the set in regular Blu-ray cases... Anyone done that yet?

Is there a special way to scan SteelBooks? I keep trying to scan one and I can still see the scanlines regardless of quality. Starting to annoy me.

Any Gone Girl covers?

Can't see the customaniacs without buying something, even if registered (the link is to a search, which is apparently not available to registered/non-premium members). Can't have the hirescovers without paying.

These are reasons I rarely even go over there. I don't have a problem paying (I donate to many sites/forums just to support them, and they don't even have a product to sell) but when they disable basic functions to even see what you may want, I lose interest.

Wanted to see if anyone still has the FRIENDS Individual Season Covers or Mortal Kombat Covers as posted by madridista8700 and could send them to me.

I PM'd the author but never received a response. Then I stumbled upon the following taken from THIS post of his

For the covers I've done in the past, please ask each other in this thread for them or find them on other cover websites.

I know we typically don't give out another artists work, but given the circumstances I hope it's ok.

I fixed both links in my previous post per the above. Both work now whether you have the ability to log in to the websites or not. That was my bad as I was logged in to those websites at the time when grabbing the URL's. And for the record, Customaniacs does allow you to perform searches while not logged in to the website, so I don't know what you are going on about, at least with respects to that website. As for the two "Gone Girl" customs posted there, would cost all of 18 cents (3 credits) to download one per the 100 credit package which costs only $6. To each his own naturally. Personally I find the cost of admission to be well worth it.

Any paper recommendations for a beginner on a budget? I'm looking at amazon and some of the prices...

I too am wondering this. I was going to give http://www.amazon.co.uk/128gsm-Matte-Coated-Quality-Professional/dp/B00BFWUPZ2 paper a try but would like some opinions before doing so.
