I started working on adding some PSP games into my collection, and when I got to "disc" art, I ran into the issue of wanting transparent PNG UMD images with non-square borders.

I found a post over here about this: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/11592-sony-psp-umd-carts/

The post includes a nice PNG which could probably be used as an overlay / frame / template for Photoshop, making the process of building transparent PNG UMD images easier & faster.

I had some crazy pop-ups when downloading the image  from that site so I'm attaching it here.

This image could probably serve as the basis for a Photoshop template file. I'm not super up on stuff like creating transparent masks, and I know some other people on this board are crazy good with graphics, so I figured I'd post it to get the ball rolling.

Also, just to explain what I mean better, here's a UMD image I made using that mask for Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles.

I also just added a screenshot of what this stuff looks like when in use inside LB :)

@Vlansix, I know you're a lot better at vector graphics than I am. Think you could make a scaled-up version of that PNG mask? A lot of the UMD images I'm seeing from Moby Games and others seem to be significantly larger, like 700x700+

I reeeeally don't know how to use Illustrator, and this is definitely a job for vector graphics :D
