I read that you use a cover correcting tool to correct lots of covers or add missing covers. I am also investing some time to get the right covers in my collection. Currently mainly focusing on replacing the ones where you fixed them.
I see a lot of corrections so I can update a lot of them in my collection. I also see where it went into the wrong direction:
- There was a correct cover, but now it is replaced with the wrong cover (wrong release)
- There was a higher quality cover in the past, now a lower quality
- First there was a nice quality cover, now a poor scan.
- First there was no cover, now the wrong cover is set (wrong release)
- Nice cover where an even better cover is available.
How does your process work? How is it possible the quality goes up on 1 part, but goes down for other covers? What are the rules you apply?
I have some examples, but I can find a lot of them in my database:
- 9789461878526 Queenpins: Has the German cover instead of the correct Dutch one. Right on is available on blu-ray.com: Queenpins Blu-ray (Netherlands) How come?
- 8717418147341 Pixar Short Films: It had this one:
now it has:
wrong version and lower quality - 4013549054621 Police Story Lockdown It had this one:
ok, low quality, but it was the right on. Now it has this one:
this is the wrong one. There is a higher quality available online which is the correct one. - 5053083154561 Mission Impossible 5 why choose this one:
instead of this one:
(submitted this one to you).
- 5050582582536 Miami Vice it had this one:
now it has a lower quality scan:
Just 5 examples. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the effort. Multiple choices are debatable if I compare your new cover with the one I had in my database (never updated them from Core). But my main point is wrong covers.
Can you elaborate a litte bit about the choices and process? Looks like you prefer covers where the blu-ray or 4k blu-ray case is part of the cover. But other than that I don’t know how you decide.
How to I know you choose the right cover? Is there anything I can do? For example upload the correct one if it is the wrong one?
Great job so far !
