Just a thought... shouldn't the image always relate to the IPC/EAN number. My own images are made with as high resolution as possible for clarity sake. Downloaded images are only used temporary until I can scan my own.
Case in point - box sets for say Indiana Jones, Lethal Weapon or Back to the Fulture.
I like to have an image that relates to my region's (4) release of the product. From then I like to have an image of the keep case for each individual movie that makes up the set. As long as I have the images that match my barcode of the slip and the individual movies, then I am satisfied. This also covers my insurance needs should anything go missing.
I know it may sound pedantic, but if I am going to catalogue my collection,  I also like to add images of the original movie poster and the equivalent Reg 1 & 4 releases where possible.

Cheers, ciao & salute

Unicus,

I can see were  Gerri's post was going, and i can see why you apply your 'own' ruling because of it , I am just reading it as ....Not an inferior scan ( how much inferior ) .....but a blatent poor scan or one which is impossible to scan.

Cartmin

Let me try and explain.  The first part of the cover rule reads:

Before submitting new scans of cover art, make sure your new covers are of significantly higher quality than the existing online images, and meet the following criteria:

For me, that 'and' is important.  That means it must meet both standards.  It must be of 'significantly higher quality' and be of the slipcase.  If it fails the first then, in my opinion, the second standard is moot.

Replacing a good scan of the keep case with an inferior one, just because it is a scan of the slip, doesn't make any sense to me.

Fair enough then , obviously i was reading the rules incorrectly.

Quality of scan is paramount whether the images are the same or not , whether the slip case can be scanned or not ......got ya !

Slip case ruling waste of time then !

I thought the database primarily should be accuracy,  thats whu we still have crap scans in the system of original releases from god knows when , when most people have a newer case with newer artwork that would provide a far better scan and look far better when outsiders view your collection online, which we are stuck with and cannot change because of the rules, regardless of how much better they look.

You could apply your ' quality ruling ' to that too ?

Please dont think I am trying to be argumentitive guys I am merely trying to look for a definitive answer to my original question ( I like black and white ....not grey areas ...) this is just one area that I guess we will have to take one instance at a time and see what happens ?

Would it be possible to do a sort of 'pre - post' for opinions in the forums with attached images under a propsed change first ?
