I've had a decent amount of experience with these '90s-era, over-exposed, red-drenched images, but this one is particularly harsh. With a couple more hours, I might be able to figure out the formula, but here's the best of my attempts without investing a huge amount of time:



It's probably no better before, but here's a larger version in case it may be helpful:

Kernie, been following this, and at first I hated the frame on the front, but as always you've created a true masterpiece, God I envy your talent. But thats just more for the rest of us to strive for.. thanks for this and all your work....just WOW!

Thanks, BunnyDojo, for taking a stab at the Master/Buffy pic, I've replaced it on my S1 cover, and I think it's an improvement. Thanks again for taking the time to mess around with it for me.

And thank you very much, chefjoe. I really appreciate the kind words. :D :D :D Do you still hate the front border?

Also... should I upload these as I finish each cover, or wait and do a mass-upload of all 7 seasons? On a related note, is there any interest in matching labels? And, since I'd like to do "thick spine" versions, what size spine would folks prefer?

Anyway, here's Season 1 and the (hopefully finished?) Season 2...

Thoughts? :D

on S01, back picture collage, I think you need to up the contrast/fix the levels - to match the pic of the boy and gal (2nd from top) with the topmost pic. If you look at the shadow/how deep black around Buffy's eye on the top most pic, you'll know what I mean. Hopefully you understand my meaning?

I think so... you're talking about Buffy and Angel (the shirtless guy). Is this better? I think so, thanks for the suggestion! :D

IMO they both look excellent. I love the collage on season 2 I think it fits really well and yes i would love matching labels, ;) lol

Also as for uploading i guess it's your call but maybe upload as they finish so they're is less to upload later, just my opinion.

Looking great Kernie, only thing I can say from the previews is that the new font replacing the Univers looks a bit harder to read, but I trust the full size version will be OK. Can't wait to see this set finished!
