Gallery illustrations

Post by Elaphe »

Do you know how can I extract the gallery illustrations from PS2 Cave games? Are they available in high res anywhere on the Internet? BTW, take a look at this for some artwork by Cave. These are the best scans you will find, at least in terms of resolution. Be patient. Some of the pics are quite big.

I actually have some stuff bigger, for some retarded reason.

EDIT: I've only looked at the tops of the first two, but they both filtered and/or color-corrected. :(

It's the result of scanning. You can reduce the size of the pictures a little and then use the filters (noise) in Photoshop to clean them.

If you have more and better pictures, what are you waiting to upload them?!

A lot of (well, the handful I've used) drivers have "color correction" on by default. Simply turn it off before scanning. The difference is big. If you like the more "vibrant" look then messing w/ the levels later is probably a smarter move in the long run. Easier to do than undo. Shitloads of my scans were with color correction on when I didn't really know better, so, they're redone any chance I got. I'm more into archival purposes, so try to acquire them as natural as possible.

I'm not. I just don't post the full res ones.

They all look really weird because someone slapped Auto Color in photoshop on them. Only the DOJ one is worthwhile.

And why the fuck is the first picture 105 mb?
