Title: Compilation Titles with Multiple Manuals (scanning question)
Post by: bombatomba on May 14, 2014, 05:01:55 PM
How do you guys suggest submitting the manual scans?  They are all just "throw in" manuals from the publisher (manuals from the original games) and do not carry any of the language from the compilation name.  Pick one as the manual and the rest as extras?  For the record, there are three games in the compilation I am speaking about.

I usually scan them all and then add them all in to the same image and submit as the manual. Like this (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-061-S-00640-A&type=ms).

As Flee stated I just try to include all manuals into one scan.

If you cannot get them all into a single scan the only alternative at this time would to be to submit one or more (as shown above) and then submit the rest in a "collage" or one each in the extra media section.

i'd go with the single scan option, or even better scan them all separately and edit them together using paint if you can't fit them all in one scan.

example that i submitted quite a while ago for some extra media, it works pretty well

Sounds like bombatomba is submitting for Gates of Thunder

I am assuming part of the issue is the manuals may be varying sizes or there are too many/they are too large to even fit in a single scan.

Also with the size limitations scanning 3+ manuals is less than ideal from a visibility stand point.(IMO)

Actually the three manuals are symmetrical and not all that big, just two big to fit on my scanner (maybe by an inch or two), so I might go for just stitching them all together with paint (as several of you have suggested).  Also considering that the manuals aren't great on detail anyway, so losing a bit of definition won't be a horrible loss.  Now if this would have happened with the Boku No Natsuyasumi scans I would have been in a pickle.

Thanks everyone!
