Nice job buddy.
Updated the OP with a bunch of new info that may help members get things going including a pair of templates. Hope this helps.

Hi All,

and now it looks like this:

some people may be disappointed i havent done anything in the spine area but didnt have the quipment yet for doing that so maybe in the future.

Not sure if anyone's already said this but the converting jumbos to slimlines link in the top post of this thread is broken
I thought I'd have a go at modifying a few of the steelbooks I have that dont have interior artwork. So here are a couple of drafts of the interior of The Incredibles(DE) Steelbook. I thought I'd put them up on here to see which ones people thought were best. I haven't done the spines because they're just drafts but you can guess what they'd look like.

Also, I thought I should say, for those of you who don't have Photoshop, GIMP can do the job, and, more importantly, is free. You just do the exact same thing, copy your backdrop, highlight the black rectangles with the colour select(magic wand) tool and right click and choose paste into.
It's not exactly the best image editor out there but it's free and it does the job!
Edit: printing info mac
I'm using GIMP on a mac and found printing straight from GIMP a pain. What I do is to export the file as a .png, open in Preview and make sure scaling is set to 100%, then it prints out fine(at least for me).
PS Sorry if someone's already been over this but I didn't really want to read all 35 pages

Still cracking away at my steelbooks that have no interior art. Here are some inital draft versions for Toy Story(top) and Toy Story 2(bottom), the last one is a Toy Story 2 one. I really can't decide which of these I like the best
P.S. Sorry about the image quality, I had to use my phone

Nice artwork choices. I'm actually doing a completely custom steel this week. Stripped down a crap steel and doing outside and inside art. Hope it turns out..
Wow, that sounds difficult. I've not even progressed onto doing the interior on the spines yet!
Yeah I'm not expecting great results, but we'll see.. I haven't done inner spine art yet either, but I've seen it on youtube and they make it seem pretty straight forward.
Still cracking away at my steels with no interior art work. Here's my Toy Story 3 modified interior. Pretty pleased with this, the first time I've done the spine and it went pretty well
