CD Label Tutorial


In the Art Materials palette (4) select the Colors section, click on the section icon (upside down gray triangle) or click on the word Colors to expand the palette.  Choose Green as your Primary Color.  Press the K key and click once inside the Marching Ants to fill the selection (5).  Press the F key to access the Layer Adjuster tool and click once to turn the selection into a layer.  Painter™ defaults with Layer Marquee turned off, to turn it on press the Ctrl + Shift + H keys.  Save the file as CD_1.

On the program task bar click on Canvas > Rulers > Show Rulers.  To set the Ruler Guide lines simply click anywhere on the ruler and the black guides will appear automatically.  Use the settings in example (6).  The top settings also work for the side.  Select the Green Layer.  To complete the center hole of the CD follow step (2) (be careful to not over enlarge the circle because it will not stop automatically as before).  Your canvas will look like this (7).
