When you scan a SteelBook should you crop the image to keep the edges of the case to maintain the "SteelBook" look or should you clean up the edges and corners (like Keep Case inserts with rounded corners) 





There is no issue here just trying to find out peoples preference

I voted neutral as I stopped buing them.  Not really my cup of tea.

This issue (as far as I've seen it discussed here) seems to simply be a matter of personal opinion/preference. Some fill in the corners if possible, some leave it as it. I think the only thing that was ever agreed on was to NOT crop them off (thereby slightly cutting off the side, top and bottom edges of the cover). No one seems to be against it one way or another.

Personally, and only personally of course, not pretending to speak for anyone else, I'd fill them in if it's a possibilty. I've never had a cover image declined because of rounded corners filled in, and I've never had a single no vote to an image contribution because of rounded corners filled in.
The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play.

I prefer keeping the rounded corners myself, otherwise it doesn't look like a steelbook, and if we could have transparent colours, keeping the rounded corners would look much nicer against the background. I think this feature has been requested before.

While I understand the desire for the transparent colors, Kino, Ithink that would open up a new can of worms as users might well begin battling over what background color they think looks best.

I'm strictly against inventing or interpolating data.

JPEG doesn't allow transparency, does it? PNG does allow transparency, doesn't it?

Feel free to speak for me on this issue, too. But just this issue. NO OTHERS.

Correct, you can have transparency using PNG.
