These got rejected for whatever reason
Which would have been a decent compromise if you really need to have a hologram on there
all hologram lables on pal games are identical they just have 2 different pictures depending on how you reflect them in the light it is all identical. you can't even notice it was edited on especially with the picture size that is on the site.
Even the best case scenario's such as this one don't look to hot and offcenter. plus you see the plastic hinges at the bottom
Those replacement images look good to me and would be a better quality. Now of course an old rule in the Style Guide is to not photoshop images, but this is a general case rule as many people using "photoshop" usually results in:
- bad quality images
- images for things that do not match reality
It would be a lie to say that there aren't images that aren't edited to make them look right. But at the image sizes we're talking about, you can't tell that they are edited. I'm not going to go into any further detail than that.
Another thing to point out, that we are not like other sites that just focus on what the manual or case insert art is. The entry is for the overall item, not for the artwork, not for a game. We wen't past simply tracking games when whoever decided to make different entries for 3 and 5 screw NES carts. So in reality, every game in the PlayStation cats should be showing the jewel case. Like every game using a keep case should be showing the case and not just the cover. There are details missed when that is omitted, such as the case having a certain color, or in the case of PS1 where the jewel case has a transparent inlay or not.
So in my opinion, the images with the hologram are good, but not good because it has a reflection (or we can see the cameraman which is always bad). The edited images that basically put the hologram onto the art insert are better in comparison to the reflection and would be preferred. However the ideal image would be a full
scan of the front of the jewel case.
For example, the images for this entry were created using a scanner and not a camera:
