Do you want the template sp you know you’re designing at the proper size?
Or do you need instructions on how to use Photoshop to edit, color correct, and combine images and text into a pleasing arrangement?
If you’re interested in the former, just have a look at the following link, or do a Google search for CD insert template.Phosphor.Digital, "Resources: Patterns, Brushes, Custom Shapes, etc." #6, 4 Sep 2003 4:52 pm </cgi-bin/webx?14/6> (not sure if all links are still working)If you’re looking for help on the latter, that’s really beyond the scope of this Forum. If you have specific questions about some procedure you can’t seem to perform, then ask away, telling us what you’ve already tried.
"I’m a new user of Photoshop and I was wondering how I can create a high quality CD jewel case front cover and back."
Define "high quality." This will vary, dependent on your budget and final output. Will it print offset? Client? Budget? Emboss die-cut? Multi-panel insert?
It’s important to know the output process first because a run of one copy that will be done using a method of block printing on hand-made paper will require a different treatment as opposed to a split-fountain run of 200,000 on an offset press.
You also have the imprinting of the CD itself as a part of the overall design process.
