Digipak fun begins...

I'm really struggling with editing my album cover on Adobe Photoshop Cs6. I uploaded the photo that I took on Sunday but the dimensions aren't what the digipak measurements need to be. I'm having to convert inches into centimetres and centimetres into millimetres, which you think wouldn't be a problem.... It is. So yeah, stressy Alice. When we did the mock album cover a few weeks ago, I found it relatively easy, but this is in a whole new realm of Photoshop and it's making me uneasy.


I'm going to have to watch many-a-YouTube tutorial before I go any further. Or, if it gets too hard, I will try a different version of Photoshop or a whole new software. I'm getting a bit worried about this side of the coursework. I guess its my own fault for taking a picture that doesn't fit the measurements but I didn't know at the time and this is the last of the powder paint so unless I order six brand new pots of powdery fun just to do this again, I'm going to have to look for a new idea.

Sad times.

    Not sad times at all - I think you're being way too detailed - have scoured the specs and nowhere does it mention sizes - it just has to 'resemble' a CD promo product.. we're not actually making them!

    Lucy N's mag ad was done on Word, right?

    If your original pic doesn't fit the EXACT measurements of the digipak template you're accessing, forgive me for this, but can't you just mac screen shot off of your Photoshop image??
