I found out today I was already a member here, I planned to upload a couple of covers to see if they'd be accepted or not, Blu-rays in fact but noticed that all my BD covers are of a size that differ from the ones you require. At 3120 x 1748 with a spine of 140, mine are no good here. I could crop the overall size to match your accepted size of 3118 x 1748 but the spine would never match as you require an odd number at 143pixels. This cannot be placed centrally within the 3118 pixel width required here. In the cover size I use for other sites the 140 spine can be centered.

My question, would these three pixels make a difference on a printed cover and if so, how would I adapt mine for uploading here?

Otherwise I suppose I'd just have to upload the DVD versions.

Hi,

The 3 pixels is minimal, and should not affect print. We allow for a variation in sizes of several pixels, so your covers at these sizes will be fine

Thanks for checking! We don't publicize it, but our requirements allow for 5px leeway, plus or minus, and we don't check spine width. So your BD covers at 3120 x 1748 are very much welcomed here! :thumb:

Thanks very much for the replies. I shall get on with getting them ready then and attempt to prove myself, although I'm not sure if I will be able to do so, or to continue to upload regularly I will be happy just to be able to share some of my covers here. I usually design a cover when I need one so am not a prolific designer or as talented as those that do so.

A few more questions if I may indulge your patience - Do I create previews or do you? If I do them do I simply upload them with the covers in the zip file or separately?

The site automatically generates the previews.

I've upped some, will wait to see if they're rejected or accepted then run the risk of proving myself...
