hey!
I'm looking for some "Cover Creator Software", I am tired to try and to try different programs (freeware and shareware) I am looking for one software that has the "render" option, all the programs that I have tried only allow to print the works and to save them, but they do not make a image render (jpg or png), anyone knows some good software?, I have looked for all internets and no luck, help please! thanks a lot!

One word. Photoshop.
The learning curve is pretty steep, but it is undoubtably the greatest program ever made and has a million and one uses other than creating CD covers too.

what Brisk said, and you can get it for free if you don't mind supporting piracy. but fuck out of freeware and shareware, they are shit.

thanks Brisk! yeah... I use Photoshop to make the graphic works... but always I have problems with the measures...
the standard size of a CD cover which is 12cm x 12cm (front cover), and 11.75cm x 15.1cm (back cover)
ok, but what about the "Resolution"? in "pixels/cm" (render/export using photoshop)
when I do "render" print and cut... I obtain a smaller square than the box, anyone knows that I must do?

si en imagen>tamaño de imagen el tamaño del documento es el correcto (12x12), da igual cual sea la resolucion, teoricamente deberia imprimirte exactamente ese tamaño...

gracias amigo Melack! por defecto "en resolución" me aparece el valor de "118,11", crees que está bien asi?
medidas
resultado, como puedes ver... si imprimo eso es muy grande, creo que la clave está en el valor de "Resolución" no se que tengo que poner :-(

300PPI should be fine. You can enable ruler guides by view/rulers.
CD covers can be printed directly onto A4 paper at the full size.
If you want to render the cd cover as a JPG for the web, make sure you work at 72PPI then just choose file/save for web.

Just don't expect it to look decent if you decide to print a 72PPI image :)
Printing is generally always 300PPI or above. But yeah, for web 72PPI is the one.

creo que la question esta en que no existe una correlacion entre el tamaño "digital" (pixeles) y el tamaño de impresion. es por eso que cuando lo cuelgas en internet o lo miras en el ordenador se vea de diferente tamaño, porque el tamaño que vale es en pixeles. sin embargo, el verdadero tamaño que te interesa es el de impresion, eso es el tamaño del documento y es totalmente independiente de la resolucion. prueba a imprimirlo y ya veras como, si tienes el tamaño de documento que te interesa, la impresion te saldra bien, tal como la quieres... por eso te recomiendo que lo tengas a una buena resolucion, pq se vera mejor, especialmente los textos, a mas de 150 o 200 ppi
