Photoshop Tutorial to Make CD Cover

Adjust the size of the white ellipse (the above layer), make it smaller as the 1 inch square guideline.

The white ellipse is now smaller, but it is have to place in the center of the bigger one. In this Photoshop tutorial, we will place it in the center of it by automatically align it. Select both of the ellipse layer simultaneously, you can do this by using Shift + click on the layer name. And then click on the align icon to make it center in horizontally and vertically.

Here is the example of the template file that we will use to make CD cover. You can save this file as psd file. Save it in specific folder and name, so if you want to use this CD cover file again you will easly find it.

Next, we will add some photo and text on the CD cover template file.

Open any image or your own photo which you want to add in your CD cover. Drag the image by using Move tool, drag it from the source file (your photo file) in to the target file (your CD cover file).

Place this picture layer’s between the black ellipse layer’s and the white ellipse layer’s, as in this Photoshop tutorial image below.
