Ok, so this is an area where i will pop up a few results of my recent endeavor. As we know, cedar posts godly quality dvd/isos but unfortunately the corresponding covers provided do not match the quality. They are occasionally as low res as 50kb which is tiny. What that means, is when they are printed out, they look like crap. Print those dvd covers and put em in a dvd case and they look like crap in a case! Mind that the front is usually ok, but the back of each dvd has small pictures that do not enlarge/print well at all. I'd pm cedar and see if he is able to provide better, but i doubt it. besides, we all know he's taciturn, so you' be lucky to get a reply i'm sure.
So i decided to do something about that, with my amazingly humble technical skills. By using mspaint and infranview and sometimes (if you're lucky and the idol is a popular one) high resolution pictures that relate to the dvd i made some dvd covers that actually look good. I also use photozoom to improve the quality somewhat and gimp for some colour shading when necessary.
That said, buy yourself a second hand inkjet printer (preferably a certain kind of Canon brand that takes the 3rd party cheap cartriges that cost a whopping dollar each), a paper cropper and go printing-happy. Make impressive, almost authentic looking dvds.
I am shopping around for strategies in using/learning photoshop for these purposes here so if you think you have any suggestions id love to hear them.
