Key Features. Interface: for the creation of a label, an intuitive and graphical interface is compulsory. Fortunately Mac CD/DVD Label Maker's editor endowed it with a well-designed one including all tools in a single window. The aim is to allow users to create personalized and beautiful covers. Predefined templates: inspiration is essential during the designing. However, it happens that you are just running out of it.
In this case, the application still offers predesigned templates to create label, clipart or background image. Just pick one. Preview: Mac CD/DVD Label Maker is featured with a WYSIWYG editor.
This gives the user the ability to see changes in real time. Thus, it can reverse some changes if necessary. Pros. It is free. Cons.
It is heavy.
Cd Cover Software For Mac Freeware
Thanks, Im crap with computers! Can i download photoshop or is it already on my macbook?? If not which version do I download from here.
I just want to create a basic CD cover to fold in half to insert into a jewel case. ThanksGood news and bad news. The bad news: Photoshop is an $800 program, you can't 'download' it. Also, it's FAR too complex for such a simple job as this. Even the $99 'Photoshop Elements' isn't designed for this at all really. The good news: 'Well, why didn't ya say!'
If that's what you want to do, there's a free program built right into your Mac that will do that! It's called iTunes. All you have to do is select a playlist of songs you want to burn to CD (I presume you've already done this part) and choose 'Print' from the file menu, then choose your options, which range from really basic blue-cover-with-track-listing-on-back to cool 'cover collage' of the albums from which the tunes in your playlist are drawn. More about this here. If that's what you want to do, there's a free program built right into your Mac that will do that!

More about this here: I never knew about this print option. You would not believe the hassle I've gone through to create the odd CD cover. I ought to have known that Apple had it sorted. Gee, I love my mac!
This thread is definitely going into the Sunday video chat. I might even do a short demo. I've never used that iTunes feature.Hey Sly - this was a 7 y/o thread until today's response - saw it earlier and thought that the thread should be closed, but just my thoughts. NOW, if you want to discussed printing to CD-Rs/DVD-Rs (I guess now even BD-Rs), then a discussion on the discs that can be printed directly to should be discussed - for years I made 'paper CD/DVD labels' and pressed them onto discs - the edges always came up and likely would jam? When I switched to Apple computers in 2013 w/ a slot-loading SuperDrive, I decided to not use paper labels on my recordable discs (was doing both CD-R and DVD-R, the latter from the TCM channel) - SO, I bought the Canon printer below which has a special carrier for an optical disc that prints directly to the surface (of course, you need to buy the 'special' disc but pretty cheap these days) - the discs look beautiful and a nice solution - now the Canon software is really 'glunky' but I don't make many of these any more. Sly don't print labels for slopt loaders. Bad news when heat and use causes the label to lift slightly, jam and then all sorts of troubles.
Great for tray loaders on Mac Pros however. Never tried one of these CD/DVD printed directly to discs. Guys - I used 'paper labels' for years when I was on PCs - these were either for DVD-Rs (burned from the TCM channel, i.e. Old movies) or CD-Rs (typically ripped CDs I owned or MP3 albums that I purchased and wanted on a disc) - never a problem because all of my players were 'tray-loaders'.
However, making paper labels and then applying them to the discs was a pain, so when I switched to Apple computers, I also bought several new printers, including a Canon inkjet which had the 'print directly to disc' feature - an example below of a Vivaldi MP3 album that I purchased from Amazon - the colors are beautiful, the print extremely sharp, and almost looks etched into the 'special surface' of the disc (actual disc looks better than my pic). A thought for those who indeed need a type of label on a homemade disc and particularly if using a slot-loader.
