MEGADETH - Tears in a Vial (HD Audio)

Wow...I was really touched by this song..brilliant Mr Mustaine

You did an awesome job with the cover there. Did you just do a photoshop job?

Just started with a 600 dpi scan (creating a 2800x2800 image), then resized it down to 750x750, then applying some "Auto Contrast" and "Auto Sharpness", and finally adding a little extra saturation and contrast manually to bring out the color. Takes all of 2 minutes from scan to finished product.

what program do you use?

Just Photoshop Elements 6.0.

Just scan the image into the program, do a little cropping (as I over scan on purpose,) then apply the edits as I outlines above. Like I said, it takes about as long to scan it at 600 dpi as it does to do the edits.

The reason why I do this is because I got tired of all the shitty pics all over the Net. Want something done right...do it yourself.

I also sumbit all my scans at that website in my profile. I earned "Auto Approval" about 6 months ago.

The secret, realy, is the initial 600 dpi scan. I used to scan at 150, then 300 while using a magazine pattern filter. Those were pretty good, but certain covers would leave hideous scan lines. When I found out that a raw 600 dpi scan with a size reduction would look great. There's still some scan lines in them, but in order to see them, you have to look down at the image on an LCD monitor where the backlight exposes them. But a straight on look, you can't see them.

thanks for posting this!!!!!

FUCKING AMAZING! EMOTIONALLY HEAVY
