| Posted: | | | | Take note that your first scan shows here is greater than 500 pixels wide which means it would have been resized. That would affect the end quality. |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting Dr. Killpatient: Quote: If the banner must be left, at least crop off the side and bottom or even better, use a custom banner such as found here. the scans with the case are not from me i used it just to compare it with mine. i know its a little bigger, the pictures are from my "source material" but it actually looks just like that when i finish my contribution online and the site shows me the scans. |

| Posted: | | | | A possibility that doesn't seem to have been mentioned - what are you putting in your contribution notes? Make sure you're putting something like - covers scanned by myself - or something similar. Insufficient notes have been the cause of declines in the past regardless of scan quality, so that may be the problem.
To be on the safe side, I would leave the banners on for now. At least until Ken releases the internal banner option. | | | Last edited: by northbloke |

If you contribute your source, which is larger than the allowed limit, then the images will be further compressed resulting in an even less than desireable image . | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

Doc has provided us with excellent banners and ken has something in the works as well. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!! CBE, MBE, MoA and proud of it. Outta here

| Posted: | | | | This banner thing is totally crap. As Looper said before, the HD/BD logo is part of the case, not part of the cover. It's the same thing like the DVD scans > cover only. I see no point that we should scan the case or ad custom banners to the scans! Other HD/BD scans are without this banner too, and no one complained about that.
Looper2's scans are very good und much better than the existing ones. Furthermore, as you can see the votes are all positive! So please Invelos, say something! |

| Posted: | | | | Version 3.1.1 will be out in beta as early as tomorrow, and it includes optional dynamic HD banner display. Once it goes live to public release, we will update the rules to specify that HD titles in standard HD cases be submitted without banners. However, until that time please refrain from replacing the existing bannered scans. | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative | | | Last edited: by Ken Cole |
