HQ PICS DOWNLOADS and Status List (MTG)

[extreme]

Only Onslaught and 7th Edition need to be redone?
I'll download all again when you finished, hope you make releases of cards atleast twice bigger in a future.

We will probably redo most of the sets actually. About the other thing, maybe, who knows. But there is no reason to go above 300dpi, i e around 672x966 pixels without borders. If we go there, that's the limit.

I am late to the party. I am following the instructions on the first post. The torrent is 3gb. Wow! You guys have done a lot of work! But, as this thing is downloading, I am completely confused if I am getting the latest versions of all the sets. This post has 197 replies. Do I need to go through each one and determine if there is an individual update. Or is the torrent linked on the initial post the most current?

Thanks for the help and the awesome pics!!

The torrent does not have the latest, but it's pretty darn good. We're working on a new torrent, be patient because it's a WHOLE lot of work. MWSPA is more current, so are the direct download links in the first post. For the least pain I'd just use the torrent until the new one comes out, but of course it's up to you.

Alternatively, you may want to just keep to the MediaFire links posted at the beginning of the post. Those are closest to the latest with only a few differences. A new torrent is on its way although it may take another month to finalize all the latest sets.

Have you all considered creating a torrent that contained all card scans from Alpha to Shards Of Alara? I would be willing to help seed.

[halfheart]

They are working on it

I was reading here for the last months. Now I finally registered an account and d'like to say thank you! Fantastic project!

[vesuvanduquesne]

I agree, thank you for all your work. Even though I sold my cards 10 years ago, I can still relive my nostalgic days of MTG via this torrent.

[Huggybaby]

Thanks fellas, and welcome to the forum. I'm waiting for Nyth to get back to me so we can proceed.

[grendel]

Alright. I got the bohemiath of a file downloaded. 3.0G is huge. The quality is outstanding for the cards I've inspected. But I am not sure I can host 3gs on the system for long, which brings me to my question. Knowing this is the best format for displaying cards, do you "scanner gods" such a more nimble setting for a smaller footprint. I have Photoshop and I was trying to determine the best format & size & setting to yield the optimal file size (< 60kb) with the least suffering to visible quality.

I am eagerly awaiting the Small images you guys are creating, but in the meantime, any suggestions?

[Nyth]

My apologies for dropping off the radar. I have not been well and have had very little time these past few days to focus on the torrent. As of now though, I am back on it. Sorry for the delay everyone.

[Huggybaby]

grendel, start by halving the pic sizes, if they're 480x680,make them 240x340.

Alara released! I just noticed the other Thread. --> viewtopic.php?f=15&t=487&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=75#p6808

Perhaps it doesn't mind posting the news here again:

(I posted in the wrong place dangit, so here it is, thanks f0x)

Konichiwa bitches, now you can be the first on your block to sport HQ Shards of Alara pics.
Bust 'em out at your next MWS fest and gloat as your worthless and weak friends drool with envy.

For contributions this time we owe thanks to some old and some new folks:
Thanks to extreme and The Scientist as usual. And, thanks to Smileylich, minghua and scottchiefbaker, we didn't have to wait a month for those last few scans to come in!

What can I say!

Another outstanding job guys! I'm constantly amazed at the quality and now, even more then ever, the speed at which each new set is completed and ready for our great community to play with.

I just want you all to know how much I, and I'm sure everyone else, is grateful for the awesome job you all do.

Thank you!
