know my way around photo 7 reasonably well...... but how do a start a designing some artwork for a cd... not the cover but actually on the cd.... ie how do i set the shape/correct size....does photoshop have a template for a cd??? can anyone help??
new document -> measure cd size -> create document to said size -> use oval tool to create template -> use the vendor specific printing software to ensure exact printing location -or- ->export .psd file to bmp/jpg file ->create a word processing file with headers/footers/colums specific to labels...........
Here's a simple template I made a little while ago: http://www.charlesbarkley.net/cd.psd What I would do is make the transpearancy of the template's layer very low...create you disk design and not worry about going out of the template line b/c you just peel the label off anyways and then you'll have edge to edge printing. I only have PS v 5 LE (poor man's PS)...good luck.
