just a small question: Would it not be better if every user can upload a picture ? At some rare LDs I would like to see it, even if the quality is bad ! I have send you over 100 covers longer than a year ago but no one is listened until todax

The problem is that I keep getting really, really bad quality covers that I must filter out so keep the current cover consistently OK in quality. I reject about half the covers sent to me. I try to work in batches but I was away from home for a while and then moved to a new apartment. Moving is finished, will resume cover uploads soon! Julien

LD Cover are a big passion to me, but also a big problem. As I collect LD movies I also try to collect covers, with scanning them into my PC. But with normal A4 scanners you really have a big problem, as this is not the right format for LDs, of course. But an A3 scanner is out of my range - for costs and the size. I can also only scan parts of the Covers and working them together again afterwards. This is of course not perfekt, as the crossings simply do not match in colors and sharpness - well, the brinks of my scanner are not flat and so this can not work... And though of all those problems, I do the best what is possible to collect those covers. And I wonder, with all the movies out there, why are such a lot of movies in this data base without covers? The pictures are not really very big, and wouldn't it be better to have not so perfect pictures than none at all? If pictures at least have no logos, copyright, sticker, etc. - why not using them? Only as an example, the classic movie "Bhowani Junction". No cover for that movie since a long time watching. I really would like to give one then, but with all the limitations here I can't. And so it stays without picture. Of course only my personal opinion, but at least I want to ask. Couldn't it be possible to think about to lower the sights here for getting all movies with Covers and a complete data base? And by the way, what about not only front side covers, but also rear side? This would be perfect to me.

Sorry Admin..... Just sent an email with a CSV of 620+ Front and back covers (1196 jpgs) with a URL where you can download a ZIP containing the images as it was too big to email. Hope its not too much of a headache in this format. I have already done all of the filenames as #####.jpg and #####_back.jpg where ##### is the LDDB reference so should make life a bit easier!
