The lucky owners of Hewlett Packard Media Centers have the capability of burning a photo and text onto a Lightscribe Compact Disk using light scribe blank CD-R disks. HP makes the yellow-beige disks and Verbatum sells various colored disks. Besides saving you the cost of paper disk covers, these lightscribe disks are safe for all CD players. If all you want is a text record of back up information, then the built in text is perfectly satisfactory. Music CD's, collections of personal photos, vacation slide shows and home videos require some expertise in burning a disk creatively.
Choose an appropriate photo for the cover. Outline the subject with a mask and transfer it as an object to a blank jpg image square 4.8 inches by 4.8 inches. If the subject photo looks better as an outline, transform the image in a picture editor with an edge detector filter. What you want is a simplified, contra sty image as a design for your CD.
Draw a full circle on the new image and place the photo image in the circle, avoiding cutting off the picture with the circle and keeping away from the circle in the middle.
The text you need can be arranged in the left over spaces in the circle. Use bold type and a black color for contrast. Check the tone value in the histogram and use the 'best' setting on your printer screen. Finally save your cover as a jpeg. In your light scribe software (Intervideo or Surething) center the jpeg on the screen representing the surface of the CD and burn, baby, burn. It may take up to 25 minutes but you can minimize the action while you work on something else.
CD's that need text only can be enhanced with a background pattern. Use a dark pattern for writing titles in white and high key patterns for black text. This is a chance for you to utilize the fancier fonts on your computer for an interesting effect.
The insert for the crystal box can be a square version of the CD cover, but in full color. The reverse side can be used for song titles, biographical information or credits. Don't forget to sign your work.
