Hi STRETTONBULL what program do you use to make your cd covers

This is what I use. I also use it for my work, so I like using it. There are plenty of other programs out there though. You could even use a free one like Gimp if you can get your head round its complicated interface.

Xara Designer Pro is a cross between Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, so it handles both vectors and bitmaps. It is about a quarter of the price of the Adobe programs..

I haven't used this, but it looks quite good (Nero stuff usually is) and is designed specifically for creating covers, hence the name

It's free but apparently you do have to install the Nero Control Center as well (included I think).

Nero Cover Designer
Look towards the bottom of the page under 'Nero Free Applications'

Hi ,this one is free "undercover xp"simple and it works

And this one...Coverxp......... [fileforum.betanews.com] ...........basic but efficient if you just want CD and DVD covers to size...........

Click on the word PICK and then use the search function for coverxp, you'll be given a choice between Pro and Free

There's loads out there - it depends whether you want a fully fledged graphics program or not really.
