Greetings!

I am new to this site. I have been dabbling in dvd covers for several years now. I may not have the skill-set like others I have seen, but I enjoy doing them whenever I have time. I have some that I have posted elsewhere and hope to share them here soon.

Welcome to the site. Looking forward to see some of your work
PS: Posting in the W.I.P. section can give you lots of tips if you get stuck on a cover

Thanks!

I have thought about the W.I.P. area. But need to know the best way downsize file for site. I downloaded the files Bazzah posted in WIP rules. But, since I do not use Photoshop, doesn't work for me. I use Paint Shop Pro (version 9 to be exact). I could just resize file to 150 dpi, would that be ok to do and post in WIP?

I sometimes feel like an idiot when it comes to computers! Not very savvy! I usually just wing it!

Cover design is an occasional thing. Once I start, I will spend hours working on different covers. Then it gets to a point where I get burned out and stop. Sometimes it is months or year(s) before getting back into it again. i have some covers I started many years ago and haven't finished yet. I just started back up again after getting a few 4K titles.

Not sure about Paint Shop Pro, but the images you post in the W.I.P. section should be 300dpi, as that's the standard we're using here. You are now allowed to post full size images in the W.I.P. section so it's easier to see small details and so on. I'm not sure if that goes for all members tho, but I'm sure ct or baz could clear that up.
PS: you can check out the different sizes for covers here:

You do not need to downsize your files for WIP. You can upload full sized images, as WIP images are now watermarked. Also, you only need to make sure images uploaded to the gallery are 300 dpi

I am sure most of us have covers that we are still to complete, or may never complete. It is a pretty normal thing buddy!

Thanks! Most of my finished covers are uploaded. Some I doubt I ever will, as they are sets that I downloaded and changed the spines. It's not fair to submit something that is not mine. Thought just popped in my head: I could post them in WIP and try to find out who the original creator is for them. I am those designers are on this site as well. Most of my downloaded covers are from R1DB over the years.

Most of my unfinished work is standard DVD. So just need to copy them over to the BluRay templates and get going on them.
