Nice job MHD,
only thing i see that doesn't seem right to me is you say to open up your image and place a circle around it (no size stated) this could be interpreted as place any size circle around an image less than 1500x1500 pix and resize up to 1500 pix instead of the other way around.

Just an observation m8. :thu

ok, well most would be using a poster or front cover as a base, which i would hope would be larger than required, but sizing it up would still work as long as the base image is 300 dpi and not overly small, anything over 1200 pixels should be fine

This one helped me on my first. My first attempt came out pretty good.

It's important to use a centre hole as a guide when desiging the layout, just hide it again before saving the final file. I think the title on fansler's Stargate one will be cut off by the centre hole when printed. Also the background colour needs to be 40,40,40 to match the forum colour :thu

Nice tut mate.

250 centre hole? that equals 21.1mm which leaves no room for error for discs that can print to 17mm, this is the stated size (might be 16mm) when closing in a scanned label centre.

where it says CM on the right is an arrow, use this (drop down box) to change to the setting you require
