I wrote that they have better colours

Try being more specific in your notes, say something like:

"Colour blue too washed-out in original scans, re-scanned to get a more accurate blue colour."

Right! By the way, the Screeners don't own every DVD, so they won't know how the colors have been improved unless you explain what the difference is.

I've contributed a Profile Update and new Coverscans, but both were declined, I understand why the Coverscans were declined but not why the Profile data was declined

(Booklet added
subtitles corrected
audiotracks corrected)

?

And why was this declined ?

Yes 3 No 2

Only because 2 People said that they dont like it ?

The colors are much better and it look like the original (the copy protection logo for example)
,the text is better readable, and a profile with the same case type which I've contributed on the same day with the same colors has been accepted (5Yes 0 No)

The scan might've been declined because it's quite a bit darker than the existing one & you lose quite a bit the detail in the pictures.

Going on the scans Michael has provided I say it was because the replacement scan was way too dark, and if I was voting that would be my reason.

Which is exactly the reason I gave for denying a significant improvement, initially resulting in a (by now withdrawn or deleted) negative reputation vote by the contributor and further PMs telleing me he could read it fine.

BTW, this exact submission (and the accompanying scans for "Romancing the Stone") were already the subject of discussion in the Gemran forum, explaining in detail the subjective character of scan-votes, but alas, to no avail.

And while I agree, that the color of the metal case is a lot closer to the original, the text is not easier to read, the overall look is way too dark, and the pictures lost an awful lot of detail. This is no improvement, this is only showing that these cases are a b***h to scan and usually lead to bad results.

For displaying the content of the cover print, the existing scan is by far better, and as long as the existing scan is correct (UPC, release #, edition, etc) a new replacement scan has to be an improvement. The scan on the right is not.

What's your source?

THE DVD!!!!!!!!!!!

And the scan is not to dark, the existing scan is too bright, strange that the other cover has been accepted because it has the same quality 


@ Darxon:
Sadly that you still dont understand what I mean @ Romancing the Stone

Based on the images above, I would have voted no as well.

As far as your source being "THE DVD", your notes should include something like:

"Subtitles taken from DVD Menus" or "Subtitles verified with WinDVD".

I'd be interested to know how you determined the Audio Tracks directly from "THE DVD" without the use of some tool like WinDVD, DVDDeCrypter or an AVR?

I don't know about other covers as we're talking about this one but I personally would consider it to be too dark. While the other one is a bit light, it's much easier to read the overview & to see the pictures.

It's possible that the other one was accepted because -
a) Different people own that DVD & felt it was an improvement over the existing
b) The existing was quite a bit worse than the example given here.
