Description:
If you want to produce professional-quality CD labels, then look no further than Surething CD Labeler. It's a complete software kit that comes with a starter pack of CD labels and free applicator, plus a huge range of pre-designed backgrounds and over 5,000 clip-art images. One of its main strengths, though, is it doesn't tie you to a single brand of labels as it will work happily with virtually all known brands. Not only that, but CD Labeler can design CD jewel-case inserts and labels for audio/video cassettes, floppy disks, DAT tapes, and even JAZ and ZIP disks. It won't take long to produce your first design, as CD Labeler offers plenty of Wizard-based help--just select the product type and brand of label, browse through the supplied background designs, and use the SmartDesign tool which uses a range of templates to position a group of text and graphics objects ready for use. If you don't like those supplied, you can easily add your own pictures or scan in images directly from CDs and jewel cases. Text can be easily manipulated into angles, curves, balloons, and arches and then given that special touch with shading, dropped shadows, and color-blend effects. If you're not happy with the background, effects, or font, a variation bar underneath lets you cycle through the entire range on the fly until you find the right one. You can even change the label stock in the middle of a project, and CD Labeler will resize it for you. --Dave Mitchell
