Photoshop Elements 6: The Missing Manual

CD/DVD Label

You can create stick-on labels for CDs and DVDs with Elements (Create → More Options → CD/DVD Label) and print them on blank label sheets from any office supply store. Elements gives you templates that create a single label layout, and when you're done, you need to place your work into the template that goes with your brand of labels. (Most CD or DVD labels print two to a page.) The major brands, like Avery (www.avery.com) and Neato (www.neato.com), have free down-loadable templates on their Web sites to help you position your labels properly on the page.

Note

While labels make your discs look great, it's risky to put a stick-on label on any disc you'll use in a computer. If the label gets stuck in the disk drive, you may have to replace the drive. Consider using a marker to label discs for computer use, or buying printable discs if you have a printer that will take them.
