Sorry to be a burden, but I downloaded the VHS Cover Template File, then I opened it with WordPad, and when I did that, I see nothing but gibberish. Like this for example.

What am I doing wrong?

It's a Photoshop file. You don't open it with a word processor, only in a photo editing application like Photoshop, GIMP, or Paint.NET.

Oh. Got it.

Thanks for the assist blue. Yeah, PAINT.net and Gimp are free, so use those.

There should be a search function so I could check if a movie is already
here before I post it. And alphabetized listings would make browsing
much better.

I've got a few tapes in the old "book" style cases, which are quite a bit bigger than the later standard sleeves. I presume I should scale these down to fit the template, yes? I also have a couple of clamshell style cases (Like what Disney used to use.)



EDIT: Going by the template, the flip case is not only a different size, but different shape. The thickness is about the same, but to get the full cover in the template at the correct dimensions, it...well, see for yourself.



Vaporman how would you like to handle oversized cases?

If the dimensions aren't exact, it's still okay. Some of LepricahnsGold's covers were slightly larger, but they were resized automatically to fit the preview area, then viewable at the original size once clicked on. So no biggie if the sizes are a bit off.

Cool, I will post some up now.

Thanks shakin. Nice covers!
