    How to make 3D PC/Windows DVD Game Cases - Tutorial

    in my case Photoshop just closes, as if the process was stopped. no error message. I'm using cs6 and I have used these actions a couple of times without a problem. I suspect it might have something to do with file size..the JPGS are 26MB which is quite insane to be honest. the output is under an 1mb so I will start by resizing the images.

    Yep, @Undertherainbow 's Action file is awesome. The only thing I would say is that as nice as the boxes that show a front and back cover are, in my opinion they are not too practical. What I mean is there are very few views in few themes that the boxes look really good in. In fact the only theme I can think of which these boxes really work well with is the "Unified" theme. Correct me if I'm wrong here but that's just my 2 cents.

    You are right, but I need to make these covers first, plus a spine...and mobygames usualy have a box front and cover .. and the process of actually making the covers is automated it's a small effort of running those actions twice,.

    @Klopjero I assume you have a set of images that are for the Spine and a set of images that are for the front cover. I'm afraid the only way I know of to combine the two is to use a program called ImageMagick, as far as I know Photoshop can't do it. ImageMagick uses the command line however but I can give you some pointers but you might be better of doing each one individually to be honest if this is going to be a one off thing? There's not THAT many games.

    +- 255 including the the might and magic games currently in beta.... it's enough to invest in automation.

    Do you have any experience with inserting existing images into an action? say I have a folder with clear logo's and I want to insert one onto my canvas, if I record that action, will it pickup the next one? or will it grab the same one ? is there a logic that I could make use of ? for instance find image that matches current file name..or something like that. @Robin55

    I'll start scrounging up good box art first, most work will be going into the spines. After I get the spines done I'll record action that will place box art and spines in the right place. I'd like to automate this process as much as possible.

    Maybe I can generate spines by taking a percentage of the back cover and have that content aware filled smoothed, place logo in center, scale it and rotate it counter clockwise... hmmmmm

    the views did not contain RotationAmount="4" tag... now it seems proper.. I also copied in that awesome disc spinup animation...
