CD layout / inserts

Sorry, this is not directly related to DJ'ing, but I make mixed CD's and I want to learn how to print professional-looking inserts.

First off, I have Photoshop @ Uni (NOT at home); the standard size is 342x340 pixels, correct? I'll try using Photoshop and I'll save the resulting images.

Then how do I print them from home, since the insert is double-paged? Is there a simple program for formatting and placing the front insert and the back insert?

thanks

i beleive Nero has a little software to help you with that, i also think that there are programs that do this for you, but i am not sure.

if you're using Photoshop be careful of the pixels/inch setting - if that's wrong your cover will come out at a size you don't expect

go to www.cdcovers.cc and download their software... it's called CoverXP. it's great!!! all you do is select the pics you want for each label, and print........

if you want to edit the covers as well, I recommend Acoustica CD Label Maker.....
it's a simple CD label editor... like Easy CD Creator, but a little more advanced.....

hope I helped

What do you mean by stickers for the cases? what do those look like?? I'm guessing just your DJ name? and the CD title??

Also....

What is the best way to put the labels onto the CD? stickers? adhesive & paper? I wonder b/c I know that if the label is off center by a bit, the CD will fukup in the decks. And what labels are the best to buy for this?
I'm interested b/c I hafta make lotsa labels soon too, for my "Fyrious" album <<-shameless p.r.
