Sony PlayStation - 2D Box Front - Image Pack 1.0

Thanks for sharing this.  I prefer the quality & consistency too.

Hello Faeran,

In the past I've asked a lot for your help with images templates, so I think it's time to give back.

If you have an Nvidia 1X, 2X or 3X series video card I recommend using the program called Waifu2x-caffe. It's free and will do exactly what you need. It scales the image using the Waifu2X algorithm and then you can use Photoshop and use its Action mode to apply color and brightness correction.

I've been doing this for a long time on my covers and I can't find any pack with an image as good as mine.

In case you have AMD or Intel, I suggest using Topaz Gigapixel AI. It can use both Intel, AMD, Nvidia and any new CPU.

Thanks @Cauptain. Those are looking good. What kind of actions are you using in photoshop to clean up the images?

Also, where are your image packs? 😜

 

You are in for a treat for PS1 then, in due time

Hello Faeran,

These packs are available in a FB group called Projeto Launchbox.

Only CD/DVD/BD systems do not provide all covers, as they are restricted to the number of games per pack (20 only).

All others systems are fully complete.

Thanks, nice! Why wouldn't they just post the image packs on the forum download section? Then even more could benefit.

Eagerly waiting for the PS2/PSP collection. A nicely cleaned simple 2D pack is refreshing.

Thank you very much for sharing these with us.

This must have taken you a very long time.

I am a big fan of your Youtube videos where you show how to make the themes and skins.

I was making a theme but due to hdd failure it was lost.

I use a program called Vector Magic to make quick vectors. I use AI Gigapixel. Just recent a Program called

AI Photo & Art Enhancer. It crazy enhances colour and can make very nice vector shapes. It does not however support png transparency so your bg would be filled with black unless you make say a solid green colour and then remove it from your final pic.

 

Here is your 4 example covers run through it. Upscaled to 4k then downscaled to cd size 1475x1475 pixels.
