Higher Res Vanilla Magazine Restoration

After way too many hours of eye strain, I've managed to recreate the New Vegas skill magazines with their original text intact (at 4x their old in game resolution)

Its been a very tedious process, but I believe I now have 98% of the text accurately recreated.  I know there are some retextures for them around but some are pretty big departures from their source, and even the more accurate ones in many cases have incorrect text.

Thankfully the versions of the magazines on the loading screens along with the higher-res  versions of the pipboy icons in the bsa were of help when restoring them (The pip boy icons are actually higher res than the vanilla in-game magazine covers)

A few of the magazines have completely different covers in game to those on the loading screens. Interestingly the repair and medical magazines in game stock photo covers match their low res pipboy icons, but the higher-res versions of their pipboy icons match the custom art on the loading screens. I can only assume those two covers had an older place holder version included in the shipped bsa by mistake but that is just speculation.

FAQ

Q. Why aren't these magazine cover textures bigger?

A. Making the covers even higher res would make them stand out against other textures to much, and as it is I don't have good enough quality sources to make good larger sized textures. As it as these are already 4x the size of the miniscule textures on the magazine covers in vanilla .

Q. Did you use AI upscaling and if not why?

A. I did not, I did some tests and the results were far from satisfactory, so all edits I made were made by hand.
