The Surething CD Labeler will join an album cover's two halves directly within its template, said Paul Cary, a spokesman for the company. One option is to scan in the top half of the cover, then the bottom half, and stitch the two together in an image editing program like Adobe Photoshop.

After calibrating our printer, using the included calibration print sheet, we had no difficulty outputting attractive, professional-looking labels. SureThing will print out onto just about all brands of CD labels, inserts, and case labels, including support for full-face labels. It is likely this is a bug that may be fixed in future updates, since design layout coordination is one of the new features they are touting. At the most elementary, the name of the artist, the name of the DVD, and the content should have been automatically inserted into those fields throughout the project.

So, each one had to be created separately. This was despite the fact that we had “Coordinate design layouts” checked in the Program Options. We were surprised that after we defined the background, artist name, title and contents for our DVD label, they did not automatically populate the case label or the inserts.

You can scan directly into SureThing or create a collage of pictures to use as your background.

First, select the type of project you want to create: a Disc Label, a Disc with Jewel Case, a Disc with DVD Case, a Disc with Inserts, or a Mini-Disc.
