How I created the inside of my digipak

This post is for Ali and Yas to read if they want to....

When I did my digipak, I put the cd template in to photoshop and created it in there. On the template there is the outline to where the cd would be placed. I then placed a background which I liked behind the outline of where the cd goes by chaanging the background into a layer and I also brought the transpareny down a bit. I then got another picture which I wanted to be the actual cd cover and placed it on top of the first picture. The next thing which I had to do was take the magic wond click on the circular part where the cd would go and press delete so that there is just a blank space in the circular bit. You then have to get the second picture which you picked and use one of the tools on the side. The tool that you have to use is the circle tool, but to get this you have to hold down on the square one and it will appear next to it. When you have this tool active you then have to place it round the picture so that the picture forms in the shape of a cd and then you have a cd.

You can also make the cd look more like a cd by changing it into a 3d shape so that it stands out more. For the little circle in the middle of where the cd goes, to make this appear as a part of the first picture you have to change the transparency of the first picture and it will appear, but to get rid of the checqured lines, all you have to do is change the paint bucket colour to white.
The last thing which I did was make the four tab bits which are sticking out of the cd, a part of the first picture. To do this it is very easy after you have been shown once, so what you do is select the tab so that it is highlighted, then you have to copy the layer of the first picture, delete the tab, and then paste it on back onto the same layer. The best thing to do next is to change the transparency so that it is less visible than the actual background picture. The background to the tab will be checquered so you have to change the paint bucket colour to white and it will look much better. Do this to all of the tabs and you will have a better looking inside to your digipak.

Here is a picture of the digipak template so that you don't get confused with what the 'circular' part is, as I say it quite a bit:
