| You could try Paint Shop Pro...only that you should know how large artwork (in pixels/inches/centimeters) you'd like to print...<P>You can download fully functional shareware version of program but I've noticed that you can use it also after the 30-day evalution period...just dont click order-button =)<P>here's link to it: <A HREF="http://www.jasc.com/download_4.asp?" TARGET=_blank>http://www.jasc.com/download_4.asp?</A> |

| Just adding to my previous post that PSP is just a tool to create and change graphics...it's not actually created to design video covers...but you can make PSP to do so... :) |

| Adobe Photoshop is by far the best program for ANY type of graphics creation or printing (although Adobe makes other programs that specialize in one particular thing: printing, web pages, video, etc.). The only problem is the price of it: $599 for the full version.<P>Paint Shop Pro With Animation Shop is decent, but it's not as feature-packed and thorough as Photoshop. Pro:...it's "only" $99 compared to Photoshop's $599. Link: <A HREF="http://www.jasc.com" TARGET=_blank>http://www.jasc.com</A> . Con: it doesn't let you create specific covers for VHS boxes (or CD-R jewel cases, for that matter).<P><A HREF="http://www.alien-aus.com/multicoverprint" TARGET=_blank>MultiCoverPrint</A> is a good, versitile tool that lets you make VHS, CD, or DVD covers with relative ease. Bad point: you can't create the initial artwork for it; you must have a jpg or gif already created. Good point: this prog is absolutely free the link above.<P>You can also find several other "all-in-one" printing or desktop publishing software titles on sale at your local computer store. Most are adequate, but you may find their features to basic or limiting for your needs. |
