Graphics Software For Designing Photo/Artwork on DVD Case Sleeves and DVD's

Any suggestions on good graphics software to design DVD Case sleeves and Printable DVD's that's compatible with IPhoto and can import still images from Final Cut Express?
Any opinions on the merits of 'Lightscribe' Disks vs. Printable DVD's?
Many Thanks!

I use Disc Cover. http://www.belightsoft.com/disccover.
There is also Discus. http://magicmouse.com/
and Canon's utility that comes with a Canon printer:
CD-LabelPrint
All give very good results, especially on the new glossy printable DVDs - they differ in ease of use.

What software is needed or useful for studies in photography and design. Does Adobe work for this?

Take a look at the following, these free applications may have some features that you might be interested in:

Are there any Mac-friendly typography software for designing text

I used to do this in PhotoShop 4, but this program is no longer compatible with the iMac. I'm too low-ended to use Adobe Photo Elements. Hence, trying to find a program that one can design their text as 'titles' headlines on display boards, PPT presentations and iWeb. The text then can be saved either as PDF or JPEG thereby avoiding font subsitution when placed in other people's documents especially in iWeb. I have PrintShop for the Mac, but I find there is not enough scope for designing text titles.
Thanks!

There is a free "lite" version of Art Text 2 available in the Mac App Store.

What did iTunes Support say when you contacted them ? If it's been more than 48 hours since you contacted them and you haven't had a reply then contact them again.
If you haven't yet contacted them, then to do so :
- go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
- click on your country's flag
- click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Keynote / PP to DVD (via FCP and DVD SP)

This is going to sound weird, but I have been working on this for a while.
I know FCP and DVD SP pretty well. I have a Powerpoint presentation (170 MB or so), 2 hours long. The person who did the PP presentation is not that great a designer, but it's basically Text with some graphics / picts.
I exported all the slides (over 100 of them) as TIFFs (highest quality, 720 x480.
Imported them into FCP. I did a 2 hour audio recording in Logic and imported that into FCP and line up the audio.
All looks good.
Until an export, I have tried all type of FCP tricks I know. Like setting the Compressor setting in FCP to a higher codec, like Animation, Apple ProRes 422.
The QT looks fine as a small window, but when you double the size or go Full Screen, it looks horrible.
What gives? It just seems like once you go to DVD (Standard Def 480 lines) it just looks like crap as a movie, on a TV or on an LCD.
In Keynote or PP, when you present, it seems both KN and PP have some technology that auto up rezzes the slides so it looks great fullscreen on a 23" ACD, or 30" ACD.
I may just save in Powerpoint as a "Powerpoint Show", with audio attached to each slide, this seems like the best bet to get the best resolution.
I am not sure this can be done as a movie and then put onto DVD, but perhaps it can be done HD with HD resolution.
Can one uprez the TIFFs to HD rez (1080) in Photoshop or some other plugin (i know we did this with SD clips a few years ago with a plugin from a company in canada).
Then do an HD project in FCP (Apple ProRes 422) and then use Compressor as H.264, that would have to look pretty good.
Of course it would only be file based, unless one burned to Blu Ray, but who the heck has Blu Ray players, still not that common.

Thanks for the no reply, no help, great.
I figured it out, stay away from FCP for this,
Use Powerpoint and Keynote 08, then use iSpring (Pro) (Windows, Parallels or BootCamp) to export PPT file (with mp3 audio) to a Flash (swf) file. Plays great in any web browser with Flash plugin, or Eltima or other Flash / SWF player

Poor video playback from movies and DVD in Quicktime and DVD player

Hello.
I have just taken delivery of a smashing Intel iMac C2D 20".
I appear to be having problems playing back video and DVD. let me explain:
When entering full screen on a DVD, the picture is very blocky (pixilated). This happens on all DVD discs I have used.
The same happens if I playback a MPEG or AVI, and also when I use Eye TV to playback TV.
I have run the Apple Hardware test, and it returned no faults.
The Video Card is the ATI Radeon X1600 with 256mb
I am sure that there is a problem because I have just compared playback using my old G5 iMac and G4 Powerbook using the same media files and DVD's and they playback fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions (other than calling Tech Support at this stage as I will blow a fuse after being on the phone for 1.5 hours getting nowhere, and with agents not knowing which keypresses to initiate stuff - sorry - Rant over - I just want to get this resolved)
As a side note: I have just installed Windoze XP on a partition, and the playback of DVD and MPEGS are fine - so it leads me to think maybe its software??
Not one to let things get the better of me - I installed Real Player and VLC.
BOTH of these play back the media correctly.
So I guess it is Software for sure, and I guess its Quicktime. Does Quicktime run DVD Player as well?
I did a roll back to a previous version of Quicktime, and it screwed up the mac. It would book, but would not load the Finder.
So I archived and reinstalled, and I had 7.1.2 QT, and the problem was still there. So up again to 7.1.3 and problem still persists.
I have come to the conclusion that this is to do with Quicktime on a C2D processor iMac.
Can anyone shed any light on this or suggest a solution?
Manythanks
Glenn

10.4.8 Combo update resolved issue

External DVD +DL drives and DVD Studio Pro

Just looking for some advice. I need to Burn a DVD+DL for a project I am working on. There will only be 5 copies so this is not for replication. I am running DVDSP 3 on the Powerbook G4 and DVDSP 4 on the G5 (neither equipped with a DL burner) and I want the boss to buy me an external firewire DVD burner. I hear Plextor is the best, so I just want to check it will be compatible with DVD SP. Plextor are unsure and I can find no mention from Apple... If it isnt compatible what external drive is? Help!!
G5, Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Many people use Pioneers also.
I am not sure how well Plextor does, but it seems to come up here as causing isssues a bit more, but could be wrong. Also Lacies cause a good deal of problems it seems.
I have been real lucky with my Pioneer burners over the years and have been solid for me. Have hooked it up to G4 Tower, G5 Tower and G4 Powerbook (have not tried on my MacBook Pro yet) and runs well. (Some others may not likee them as much though)
Take a look here for some other thoughts on DL burning

Picasa-like graphic software for PPC e/iMacs?

I run simple courses for retirees to learn digital photo enhancing and management. I prospective participant has appeared with an older Mac - "one of the rounded ones", she said - and I wonder how I can now help her as Picasa is for Intel-only kit. It is clearly a PPC-based machine but which one, I don't know.
Can anybody recommend a compatible, simple picture enhancing/retouching/managing software that is similar to Picasa, please? Cheap would be good and free even better!

Thanks for that, Klaus1. GraphicConverter's designers had an eye pointing at Photoshop, methinks! One of Picasa's major points is that it provides many ways to organise images - nothing amazing but all potentially useful for being in one app: folders, Albums, tags, Google-quality searches, batch renaming all come to mind. It's graphical enhancing is fairly pedestrian but adequate and easy to use. One neat trick it has is to hold onto any changes made to files, whether the changes are saved or not, displaying the changes whenever the image is displayed in P but not if the file is approaced directly e.g. via a file manager. I think it's cute, anyway.

[URGENT] SSD for design & photo editing

I'm about to buy a new laptop with the following specification
- Intel i3 2350M
- 8GB DDR3 PC-1066
- Intel HD Graphics 3000
- 120GB Intel SSD 335 as primary internal drive
- External 2.5" HDD with USB 2.0 enclosure
I want to use this laptop for my primary graphic design job, which will require many and many read & Write data, both for page file and of course the file data itself. I will use Adobe Photoshop for editing.
1st Scenario:
- I use SSD for OS, apps and scratch disk and also for temporary data file during the editing process.
- The external disk will always be the data disk. After I finish editing the file, I will copy it back onto my external disk.
2nd Scenario:
- I use SSD for OS and apps.
- The external will be the scratch disk and data disk, so I won't copy it onto my SSD.
My questions are:
1. if I use the 1st scenario, how about my SSD? how can I prevent my SSD from damage?
2. for the 2nd scenario, how long my SSD will last, and how will my laptop performance be? since the external disk only have USB 2.0
connection.

If you have an SSD you can run the cache and programs on the same drive. However, many recommend a scratch disk size of 100-200 gigs so that will not work here unless you opt for a larger SSD. Otherwise an internal spinner is recommended that does not contain the program files, or idealy any other files that may want to get acessed at same time (only one read/write head per drive).
With 32 gig of RAM you may not need the constant use of the scratch drive unless working on large images with lots of layers. So see no advantage to moving folder to SSD for temp work environment.
From what I read the new crop of SSD do not have the wear problems of the older versions.

Itunes changes series photo/artwork for episode photo/artwork

Whenever I update a new podcast, in itunes the series artwork is substituted for an episodes art work? Does anyone know how to stop this so that the series art work/photo will remain the same even while adding episodes?

This is an interesting phenomenon.

Why is itunes changing series photo/artwork for episode photo/artwork?

Whenever I update a new podcast in itunes, the series artwork is substituted for an episodes art work? Does anyone know how to stop this so that the series art work/photo will remain the same even while adding episodes? I am using iweb to publish.

Make sure that the episode artwork is added to the actual file's metadata. Instructions for adding art to the file in iTunes are listed in the tech spec here:

Software for ipod photo?

I needed to reformat my photo iPod, after doing so I can no longer upload my photos from my Sony DSC-P72 to my photo iPod. The photo import function is available on the iPod but all I get is a blank window. The photos used to upload to the iPod by simply turning on the digital camera. Is there a software function I am missing? I remember getting a disk with the photo ipod but i dont have it anymore. Please advise...if you could send an answer to [email protected]

I do not believe that this is possable. Your iPod photo does not have the same hardware that the iPod video has to allow it to playback video. If a video iPod is important to you, you will need to by a 5G iPod.
Hope this helped
