Nero nero cover designer Quick Setup Guide

The Cover Designer was specially created to allow the design and production of 
CD covers via a userfriendly interface. It is included in some of Ahead software’s 
products and can be initiated by clicking on the respective icon. 

One of the advantages of integrating the Cover Designer into some of Ahead’s 
products is the ability to automatically create playlists and/or filename lists, thus 
saving you the annoyance of having to manually type them in. In addition, 
playlists from external sources (such as FreeDB) can queried/used. 

When a document is created, the CD type and the number of disks included is 
defined. All corresponding cover elements appear at the lower frame of the 
screen. You can activate them by clicking on the appropriate tab. If all cover 
elements have been processed, the cover is finished and can be printed. 
A variety of functions is available to the user: 

 

Create new graphics 

 

Import graphics using a scanner 

 

Add existing graphics 

 

Define graphics as background images 

 

Edit graphics 

 

Deform graphics using special effects 

 

Add text 

 

Format text 

 

Add fields 

The structure of Cover Designer conforms to standard Windows conventions: a 
menu bar, various icon bars and a status bar. The workspace of Cover Designer 
displays the cover element selected, which you can format using text and/or 
image elements. The most important aid to use when designing cover elements 
is the toolbar at the lower frame of the screen.
