+1 for having a guideline. Some other things to cover there are: - valid file formats - no watermarked images - resolution: min. 500x500 (with exceptions: downloads that only come with lower resolution cover art, rare physical releases where gogling only provides some low-rez scans, ...) - no image distortion or rotation, no artifacts (like a photo with reflection from camera flash) (similar exceptions as before) - images should be cropped to the cover edge - type assignment (e.g. back+spine) - content of the comment field (nothing like "my scan", "from google", pixel size etc.; "page X" for booklet pages; ...) - ordering (front, booklet, media, tray, back)
