The Finishing Touches




Why not make your home grown DVD's look like the professionally produced videos. It's easy to do. If you are familiar with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements the project is simple. Here you see the cover I did for our Alaskan video. You can layout the entire cover in Photoshop or another image processing program and create the cover art from acratch or you could go to http://www.bmyers.com/public/1299.cfm?sd=60 and download the template. There is also an informative video to explain how to use the template. Basically, each element of the layout is on it's own layer. You simply replace the elements in the template with your own as illustrated below. Incidentally you may want to eliminate some of the elements. The layers with these elements are just left out of the final.
















Remember that the background color can also be changed as well as other elements such as the green line. Once your familiarize yourself with the template it's relatively easy. You'll find it's easy to create professional results.
