Video Game Database Discussion / Questions on scans
« on: May 10, 2024, 09:38:19 pm »
I bought a scanner so I could upload as many images as I can. I trialed a few images as around half of mine keep being rejected even after corrections are made in the comments of the rejection.
1. If there is a low quality image already existing (front image for example) and I upload a scan of that image (which is higher quality) does that count or do you guys just want images that don't exist?
2. I uploaded a front box scan of Dark Seed II https://vgcollect.com/item/264437 for Apple and the rejection notes said the image already exists. However, that image is a low quality photo with a large glare. Mine was a higher quality scan.
3. If something has a sticker or blemish do you guys not want the scan? I uploaded a scan of the front cover for the Juggernaut Prime guide and it had a small amount of sticker residue in the corner. However, this can is much higher quality than the one currently available one. Do the scans need to be 100% perfect?
4. Do you guys need rear art spines or inlays or is that not currently being uploaded on the site anywhere?
5. Where are the larger scans? When I right click and open the image they are always 200x248. Clicking the images does nothing. I feel like I'm missing something here and it's always been a mystery since I joined years back. If there is a higher quality scan already uploaded I can't tell. I feel like I'll just be submitting everything I can and whatever gets rejected for dupes gets rejected, but I don't want to piss the admins off.
I want to help contribute as much as I can, but I know I need to fine tune things within the guidelines.
