Time to have a go at the inside now then Wreck
Nice work G:Box!
I finally got a few together to do so go abit of a production line going
Good topic, lots of perfectionists out there and I will know now what to do aswell. I dont really get why we have all the digital download discs or triple play sets, just the disc and the extras is fine. Although i guess you can't argue with value for money. lol
And here's what they look like installed.
Nice presentation! What kind of case are you using for the outside? Are those the plastic slip cases I've seen on other threads, that expose the top and bottom of the case? Something else??
Thanks for the insight.

Hey bro, there's a Group Buy for these in case your interested. I don't know if John has any more but I'm sure he can acquire some for you. I have them for my SteelBooks and they work awesome. They protect your SteelBook and at the same time allow for easy access to it as well.
Cheers.

My First Effort
Greetings, all - been catching up on everyone's terrific efforts to print backdrops for steelbooks. I completed the attached version for X-Men: FC, but when I printed it on test paper, I noticed it was slightly smaller. In addition, I noticed a black bar on the top and bottom, probably based on the original image I got here: (http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/49538-x-men-first-class/backdrops). I'm trying to place it in the UK version.
I haven't tried to print it at Kinkos yet, for fear I might not have the right dimensions.
Anyone here offering free advice on how I can make adjustments to this?
Thanks!
Matt

Have PhotoShop open
Drag or open your template into it (located HERE)
Open the photo or backdrop you want also into PhotoShop
Go back to your template and select Magic Wand and select each of the three black boxes
Go back to your backdrop and click Ctrl+A to select it and then Ctrl+C to copy it
Go back to your template and click on Edit and drill down until you see Paste Special and then select Paste Into
This will only use the selected regions to place the picture into
Next select the Move tool and then drag and form your picture just how you want it inside the black area filling it completely
Once you have it all set save it as a .PNG file.
It should come out looking like this.
I hope this helps.

Hey Acid - thanks for the directions in PhotoShop but I was using the free Gimp program that was mentioned on this board. If anyone tries to print the file I originally submitted, let me know if yours came out blurry or pixelated, as it did on my 600dpi laser printer. Granted it was only a test but I'm worried about going to the Kinkos counter and getting laughed out the door.
Hey mfc90125
from the looks of your attachment you maybe have resized that to small hence it looking pixelated
if you start with the original pic and follow these instructions using the double size template all should be good

Did this ages ago, thought id post it.
Didn't you post this on another forum? I think I've seen it before. Very nice. I'm a HUGE Drive fan.
Just finished this one.
The Red Cliff steelbook comes with one disc holder, is the edited down version and have no interior art.. I got the international version with is the uncut film. Good thing the Ghost Rider BB empty steel is only $5 and has 3 disc holders.
And so the I switched out the disc holders and put my own custom interior art in it.
This is everything before hand.
And this is everything after.
This hybrid has enough room for the original disc that came with the Red Cliff steel and space for the 2 international discs.
