Klopjero Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I'm really digging these double boxes... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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,.

Rincewind Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 @Robin55 It was the "Create Double Box" one for me but I've just tested it on my work PC which has an older version of photoshop (Cs5) its fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) That's weird I have tested my original action file with Photoshop 2018 without problems. I have also gone through all those cd action files without problems. I suggest you make sure your color settings are correct as I show in my video in the original post, its very important. These action files are only for the cd however, a music cd jewel case is not included just a DVD and Bluray case, if that's what you are looking for I suggest a bit of searching.

Robin55 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 also make sure your image mode is set to RGB, that's all I can suggest, I'm no Photoshop expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klopjero Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 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.

Klopjero Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I noticed the unexpected closing will not happen if the destination folder doesnt contain files it needs to overwrite.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, never had that problem myself. At least you were able to work it out. Might help someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredistehboss Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hi there! While running the actions file, I get a error for the save action in part 1 because it wants to save to "C:Users\robin\Desktop\Part 1\" and I'm not sure how to edit that...

fredistehboss Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 OH! I can't believe I missed that, I was going about it the wrong way. Thank you! Also, is there any way I could change the color of the "plastic" overlay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is there any way I could change the color of the "plastic" overlay? probably, but you'd have to find out when this happens in the action and then change that step. I haven't tried that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
