russell Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Any recommendations for any free packages that will allow me to design/edit photo's for records? Not my bag really but wanna give it a go for a new project i've got happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I think this is the software I have on my laptop to make cd labels and stuff:http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/disc-cov ... 2467?mt=12not free though a lite version came included with toast titanium, tried a few others and think i found this one to be the best.not sure if it does record label sizes though, or only CDs. Might be worth checking their site.Another option is just using photoshop/pixelmator/acorn/gimp or any other decent photo editor program, and set your image size to the correct cm and dpi and it will make a blank canvas that is the correct size for you to work on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked in to that GIMP but the site wouldn't load when I tried last night. mentioned something about needing X11 to run properly. Not sure what that is.

Mitch Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Yer x11 is an old school console that some shitty written programs need to run in coz they are still designed for old macs and haven't been updated. Probably best going with a different program for Mac IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Just scanned a few reviews from last month or so after they released an update for GIMP. none of them mention this x11 anymore. Perhaps they've dealt with that. Will maybe try installing it and see how it goes as it does look pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
