This is the closes thread to what I want to say I copied the cover picture of every comic i own and put them on a price list in word,and now they all disappeared(I have a big red x instead of a photo, and i have to cut that and just put the titles. If you did that on purpose to protect the copy rights of the comic books,i think that is retarded, now i have double the work.

First off, thank you for helping us make CPG the best comic resource on the web. Here are some guidelines to upload comic cover scans to the database. If you don't see your scan approved within a 2 week period it might have not been up to par, please review the items below and make sure the scan meets all requirements.
First off if you are new to scanning comics, take a moment to read a quick step by step to scanning I have here at my website. You can also see some examples of bad scans that will not make it into the database.
Covers must be:
- 1. Cropped properly. No background showing.
- 2. No digital camera pictures.
- 3. No covers with URL, company watermarks or logos.
- 4. No covers with scanline patterns will be accepted.
- 5. No covers scans with the comic still in the bag and board.
- 6. No grainy or blurry scans.
- 7. Adult covers with nudity must be edited with black boxes.
The only exception to the above rules are Golden Age covers.
We are a little more flexible with these, due to the rarity of getting a cover scan.
If you are scanning in your own covers to upload I recommend a 200 to 300 DPI setting and then resizing the covers to a 350 x 535-pixel size before saving. This is a standard I have used for a few years that makes a good clear scan without being a huge filesize.
Thank you for helping to make CPG the best comic site on the net.
