- **ALWAYS** use ALL CAPS when adding text to the poster (unless you're 100% sure of what you're doing, cuz there are exceptions but we'd rather have ALL CAPS then a wrong use of non capitalized text)
- Posters must always be saved with the default White Border. If you want to use a different border, use [userScripts](https://github.com/Drazzilb08/userScripts/wiki#installation) border-replacerr
- Make sure the poster background you're using is positioned at X = 0 Y = 0 and that it is 1000 px wide and 1500 px in height
??? Proper dimensions "Example - [Click to show/hide]"
- TV Shows should always have all season posters. However it is totally fine to use the same poster background for all seasons and only changing the relevant season number.
- Recommended to use AI Generative Fill features if you need to remove the text from a poster you find on the Internet.
- ALWAYS save final poster product as `.jpg` (that's `jpg` and NOT `JPG / JPEG`) with highest quality (7 on PS)
??? Proper dimensions "Example - [Click to show/hide]"
1) Find the media you want to add a poster to in Radarr / Sonarr (if it's not a Collection) and copy the filename (found by navigation to the media and checking the `path` which looks something like this: `/data/media/movies/Accident Man (2018) {imdb-tt6237612})` and in this case the filename is `Accident Man (2018)`
2) Go find the background media to base your Poster on. For example [The Movie DB](https://www.themoviedb.org/) where you would then search for: `Accident Man` and find **Media** -> **Posters** and download the one you want to use.
3) Open the newly downloaded background/poster media and remove ALL text using Photoshops AI tool by using the rectangular select tool and placing it above what you want removed and then pressing generate. Generate until you're satisfied with the result. Sometimes you need to reposition the image due to it not matching up. For example you have a lot going on at the bottom to mid level then I'd suggest you take out the crop tool, select ratio 2:3 and moev the image up so that the actual content is better aligned and then press generate to once again let the AI generate a fill for the empty area at the bottom.
4) Once you're happy with your background for the Poster you open up `poster.psd` and select the layer which says poster. Then you drag your newly created background onto Photoshop and it should now be added as a layer under posters.
5) Time to fill out the necessary text. Use the correct layer group based on the content you're creating. Then **ALWAYS** use the MAIN one and try to add the content as nicely as possible to fit around the main one.
6) After you're done with this you want to export this poster to your Google Drive folder where you stash all your posters, but before you do PLEASE read through the next part to get the naming right.

## Naming your Poster
Finally! You've done all that hard work, followed all the rules and guidelines, and you're now ready to create your very first poster. Which leads to how do you name that beautiful piece of art? Well it depends, like so many things in life ;)
| Category | Scheme | Example |
-------------------------------
| Collection | The exact same name of the collection + `Collection` if not already present | `101 Dalmatians (Animated) Collection.jpg` |
| Movie | Radarr's filename **minus** IMDB id | `101 Dalmatians (1996).jpg` |
