High Quality scans of the Alien Module covers?

[plazman30]

I have not. I've used the repair tool in Pixelmator Pro to remove scratches and wear marks on the images. I'm not sure what AI tool I could use to "enhance" the images. In a perfect world, I would scan the original art. But that's obviously not an option.

So, I threw the Zhodani image into https://www.artguru.ai and I like the results. But you need to pay to remove the watermark, and I'm not willing to pay for this little hobby side project.

I got my first Alien Module POD back from Mixam. This was not a rescan. I redid the cover using the pictures I posted here, and took existing PDF and cleaned it up by centering the text on a US Letter size piece of paper and removing any scanning artifacts. Here is what I got back from the fine folks at Mixam:

Those are really amazing P-man.

Ok, I'm working on the Vargr cover now. My physical copy is in less than perfect shape. I scanned it in, did some cleanup and ran it through some machine learning algorithms to increase the resolution and clean up the color. It's better, but it's not perfect.

Does anyone have a clean copy of the Vargr book they may be able to scan in at 600 DPI?

The back image came out much better.

Ok, here is the Vargr front cover with the above posted image.

And the back cover…

I think those need work, I'm not seeing any misspellings.

I took my 600 DPI scan and cover recreation of Alien Module 1 - Aslan and had a POD made at Mixam.com. Here's how it looks:

A note about the inside front cover. I tried to make the background white for those three images, but when I did a color substitution to replace the light tan color with white, it washed out too much of the image, so I thought this was a good compromise.

Working on the Vargr book now.

Those are amazing P!

Once I get the first 4 Alien Modules scanned in, I want to see if I can get one hardcover POD book done. It would be cool to have an Alien Modules Volumes I and II.

If all goes well, maybe Mongoose could offer it as a POD option on DTRPG.

It looks like it says Asian instead of Aslan in five places on the back cover. Looks great otherwise.

So it does. Stupid auto-correct. Sigh…
