Let's Make that CD Template

Step 1
Open and new image 713x713x150

 
 

Step 2
Zoom out so you can see the entire image area.

 
 

Step 3
Set you rectangle selection tool for 'Circle' and check mark the 'anti alias'.

 
 

Step 4
You will start at the central point of the image, , hold down the SHIFT key and drag a circle the full size of the image until the cordinances match these , then let go of the shift key and the mouse button.  With the flood fill color set to white,
     flood fill the selected area;  you should have a circle of white

then deselect.

 
 

Step 5
You will make another circle selection, starting at the central cordinances of , hold down the SHIFT key and drag the mouse until the cordinances in match these cordinances, ;  then let go of the SHIFT key and the mouse button giving you this image.

Next, delete the selected area

then deselect.

 
 

Step 6
You will now have a white doughnut shape;  select ALL

 
 

Step 7
Now float the selection using the menu or by clicking on the image one time.

 
 

Step 8
The doughnut shape will now be selected and you will save the selection to disk

 
 

Step 9
Save the selection to your selections folder in PSP - if you don't have a selections folder, make one.  It doesn't have to be in PSP as mine is, you can keep it anywhere you want but since I see a 'selection' as a part of PSP, I choose to keep it with the program so when I backup the program, the selections are with it just like the tubes and all else.

You can now close the image or decorate it for making your first CD label.

These are CD labels I made for self and a friend this year.
