| | Posted: | | | | Hi, I have a problem achieving what I want for the display of Blu ray disk covers locally. I like the ability to switch the banners on or off using the global option but in contrast to the rules (hence local only) for disks in a slip cover I would like to see the actual keep case cover scan. It makes them have a common look. However the manually added scans do not add the banner when the option is checked. Anybody know of a way to get this to work without having to rescan everything for my local view ? |

| | Posted: | | | | The only way I can think of would be to use a seperate art package to do your scans with, once your have scanned the outter slip cover Add a previously saved seperate scan of just the banner (stitch together) then save the new image as one to use locally.

| | Posted: | | | | If you have an image editor, the best is to add a banner on the covers (I choose to do that also for back cover). You have also to uncheck the option. For each blu-ray I scan the cover, give them always the same dimensions and add always the same banner, so all my covers have locally the same look.  Edit : quite the same solution as snarbo. He was faster than me, but it took time for the illustration...  | | | | Images from movies | | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

| | Posted: | | | | Hi guys,
Thanks for the info - I thought that might be the case. I was hoping to only have to rescan the ones in slip cases rather than them all. I am still curious as to what triggers the program to add the banner.
Back to the scanner ! |

| | Posted: | | | | Either of HD Cases will trigger the built-in banner, adding slip cover turns it off. This was done because many of the actual banners yield inconsistent and rather nastylooking results. Most of us for Contribution purposes, from what I have see, do not scan the banner for the back since there is no information there, I think most feel as i do that we are more intrerested in the data that is on the back cover than the pretty plain blue banner.

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for the info Skip - that is exactly what I needed. To get the display to be what I want locally I have unchecked the slip case checkbox (not really impotant for me) and replaced the original slip case scans with the HD keep case inserts. The global option to display the banner or not now works for all my profiles. I only need to rescan the keep case for any new slip case disks I get rather than all blu-ray.
Once again thanks for all responses. |

Once again thanks for all responses. I didn't choose this option since it doesn't show banner on back cover. I find much more aesthetic to have both cover with the same look, and , when browsing my collection, blu-ray's are more in evidense. But those considerations are personal, and anyone can do as he wants. | | | | Images from movies |

| | Posted: | | | | One thing you can do is, if you have banners turned on, do a right-click and copy of the cover image. This copies both the cover and the banner. Then paste. Then turn off the automatic banners. | | | ...James
