| | Posted: | | | | I have a store exclusive, but I threw out the shrink wrap that had the UPC code on it long ago.
The case has the same UPC as the standard release. The store exclusive is already in the main database.
How to do the back cover? Scan the slip only without the case or scan both but with the UPC not showing completely? |

| | Posted: | | | | I would scan it with UPC and then photoshop the UPC out, basically turning it into a white square and explain in my notes why. |

Or you could look online to see if you can find a decent scan with the missing UPC sticker (assuming a sticker if on the shrinkwrap) and photoshop that part onto your scan of the back cover. Every once in while I'll find scans online good enough to contribute here. |

| | Posted: | | | | I tried to find a back cover, to no avail.
All I could find is the front and scans of the stores ad or the exclusive itself.
I don't have photoshop, all I have is Irfan View. |

--------------- He has the proper cover. The UPC was a sticker on the shrink wrap. |

--------------- Are you kidding? Stores here do this all the time and put a sticker with a different UPC on the shrink wrap. His cover is the proper cover. It's possibly that there is no cover produced that carries this UPC, only the ones with the UPC on the shrink wrap. Do you leave the shrink wrap on your DVDs/Blu-rays? |

How to do the back cover? Scan the slip only without the case or scan both but with the UPC not showing completely? What title is it and where did you buy it? Maybe someone here still has it. If worse comes to worse, one could possibly use a barcode generator and Photoshop it in, but that may violate some DVD Profiler cover image ethics if there are such things.  | | | My DVD/Blu-ray Collection
