shaefurr 1337 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) An example cover (all 4 styles): Preview of how they look in Media browser theater. HOW TO MAKE ICONS USING THE DROPLETS INSTALLATION: 1. First download the zip from here: http://shaefurr.wix.com/fanart#!boxsets/c9jc 2. In the zip is a folder named “Photoshop Temp”, extract it to the root of your C drive, ie C:\Photoshop Temp CREATING COVERS: 1. Go to the C:\Photoshop Temp folder 2. Drag a Backdrop onto the Drop a Backdrop droplet (it will make the boxset folders from the backdrop) 3. Drag a logo onto the Drop a Logo droplet (it will add the logo to the boxset folders) Thats it, once it runs you will see the 4 different boxsets in the C:\Photoshop Temp folder Edited February 19, 2016 by shaefurr 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CashMoney 94 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Epic. They look so modern and fresh :-) I'm using the PSD to make my own so I will upload what I've done later tonight.

AsparagusTrevor 1 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 These are a very unique approach, nice one! They look very neat and crisp and fit in especially well with a Diamond cover art treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick's MCE 59 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Hi Yep, these are awesome but as some-one said above "I now need to change my standard folders" which is a huge tasks, even the box sets is huge as I have about 100 sets and then 800 movies. Do you know if any there is a batch program which will change the folder image option, this would speed things up. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easiest way probably is to use the batch or image processor in Photoshop. But the action wasn't really designed to run like that because of the way i did the open file commands Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if any there is a batch program which will change the folder image option, this would speed things up. Nick I've gone with Stark Covers ClearCaseWS. The "gloss" effect is very similar to shaefurr's boxsets. The only issue for me (first time using StarkCovers, the last version) was that over the years I've accrued a bunch of different size posters, which StarkCovers apparently doesn't account for, using scaling based on the original folder.jpg size rather than a fixed resize, probably to allow for different aspect ratios. It wasn't a huge issue since MB3 Web interface allows for manual image selection, so I just chose images of 1000x1500 for all my images that didn't already have them, then applied StarkCovers. I then had to resize the boxset covers to match, but that was a simple photoshop action. Now I just need to keep it up when I add to my media which is little effort at all. I think the overall look is great, thanks again shaefurr for the boxsets and PS action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the overall look is great, thanks again shaefurr for the boxsets and PS action. Thanks for the info, I will have a look at stark covers and see how they could work. I am actually waiting for Shaefurr's to finish the action for the portrait with the curve and the landscape at the top of this thread. I would like to use the landscape action for my TV Series, TV Documentaries and Home Movies. I would use the portrait with the curve for movies, and boxsets. Whatever I do it is a huge task to change everything. What would be awesome is if Shaefurr's finished the collection to work with Coverart, then it would just pick up the covers from the folder which is where the bulk of the work would be. The images wouldn't be as clean but to change over 1000 movies and 140 boxsets with about 350 movies inside and then 32 TV series is a task I just can't start. The wife would want to kill me. I really love Shaeffurr's work though it is really sharp and clean. I tried a few boxsets to see how they look on screen, and they look great.

sasaba 5 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) This is very nice stuff, thanks to those who have contributed. One thing, the Harry Potter icon actually turns out to be a Pirates of the Caribbean icon. Also is there any way to make these the same size as the Coverart pluggin icons, they seem to be a bit smaller? If anyone is still taking requests please consider the following: Apple Dumpling Gang Avengers Dirty Dozen Jack Ryan/Hunt for Red October Magnificent Seven Men in Black Night at the Museum Percy Jackson Princess Diaries RED Scorpion King Shanghai Noon Thanks Edited January 6, 2014 by sasaba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Thanks for your work. There is just one small little error in the download of 111 Boxset images. The Harry Potter folder contains Pirates of the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
