GENTLEMEN!
If we can get a nice high res cover of the laserdisc, we'll have tiny Lando and tons of more to the side!
Though it does look like Jabba's tail is an early Photoshop job....
Video Collector said: Very good job, Sir. I have that Laserdisc pictured above, so I'll have a go at making a wide version with tiny Lando too.
Wow, that LD cover art may be wide enough to solve the aspect ratio issue that I mentioned in post 39. It would be awesome if that could be made presentable.
Video Collector, do you have or have access to a large enough scanner to scan the LD cover in all at once? Maybe you could do a test with scanning it in at a high DPI and then resampling it to 300 DPI (in an effort to make the halftone dots more or less disappear). If it looks good like that, it would save a lot of trouble; it would leave only the ROTJ text/logo to remove. Just by virtue of its physical size it has quite a bit more inherent resolution than VHS box art (and DVD sleeve art for that matter); it is like scanning in a small poster.
