@ -6,22 +6,22 @@ So you want to create Posters for your media library in the one and only MusikMa
To be able to count yourself among the very stars who actually make Posters for this lovely community you need to follow these guidelines and rules so that we do not start introducing sub par quality posters into the repository which today contains over **50 000** posters.
1. First off, you need to make sure that you're actually using Trash-Guides recommended naming scheme before going any further. This is to make sure that all your posters have the correct file name. So first off, check out [Sonarr naming scheme](https://trash-guides.info/Sonarr/Sonarr-recommended-naming-scheme/) and [Radarr naming scheme](https://trash-guides.info/Radarr/Radarr-recommended-naming-scheme/) and make sure you use the one associated with **Plex** and **standard**.
2. Run userScripts Renameinatorr by installing [userScripts](https://github.com/Drazzilb08/userScripts/wiki#installation) and then running the the script on your **whole** library. This will make sure that your Radarr and Sonarr has the correct filenames which we will use when creating posters later. This may take a very long time depending on your naming scheme being done the right way or not. Whatever you do, do not create a poster before you're sure you have the correct filename or you'll have to redo it when noone can enjoy your hard work due to poster not matching their library.
3. Download the latest .
4. Install Photoshop as it's the best software for the job.

## Guidelines and Rules
- Do not change **ANY** settings or move **ANYTHING** around. Everything is positioned perfectly to keep a cohesive style everyone needs to adhere to. If you start changing the position or size please do **NOT** share these with anyone else as we only want MM2K Style posters. (Oh but I only moved that text 1 px that way? Well it hurts my eyes when I see that poster so PLEASE keep it to yourself)
- Do not move layers around (every layer is where it is supposed to be, if you think you've found a way to do something better please suggest a change to the `poster.psd` instead so that everyone can verify it before you actually use it)
- Remove **ALL** text from the poster you're using as a background before adding it to your `poster layer` inside `poster.psd`
-**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
- 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)
