Stretch mode wont work and neither of the other features in that section such as crop or fit. I need to distort the image to get the subject matter to the side of the hole in the middle of the finished cd. Has anybody had any of these problems and/or does anybody know a number to dial to talk to a lightscribe actual person?

Hi Ron !

I don't do any photo editing in the TL.

I only shrink the photo to fit the clip area after first editing in Paint.NET.

Any Image editor should be OK.

I have always done it that way to have more control over the Image.

The central hub seems to always get in the way and I have to adjust the Image to allow for it.

When you take a photo you usually center the subject, this puts it right where the hub is.

Thank you, that makes sense. My purpose is also to download an album from i-tunes and then superimpose the album cover onto the disc. I will need to distort the image , which is not a problem except that the stretching feature doesn't work.

Hi Ron !

Paint.NET can stretch Images and more.


I have made a PDF of something I found on the Internet that deals with that:

"How to rip a CD as MP3s.PDF"


I shared my stuff with another User who makes Desktop Videos of weddings. memorials, and other things like that.


How I create Labels Containing a Track List

I've put together some stuff I use to create CD Labels.

  • I wrote up the procedure I use in a PDF File.
  • I make PDF Files of any Documentation I create.
  • I have V1.14.32.1 of the LSS and since Version 1.17.90.1 of both the LSS and the corresponding Diagnostic Utility.
  • I include an "Additional Stuff" Folder which contains anything I create while developing My Custom Templates.
  • I created ZIP Files for 6 Windows Vista "Right-Click" Commands I developed to support this and other procedures I use.
  • I "ripped off" the "Template Playlist Beta" "Full" and "Half" Disk Templates; fixed them and create a ZIP File of the two templates.
  • I have a PDF that contains "Template vs. Simple Labelers" - a comparison of what is the structure of each template.
  • I found 5 FREE Tools I use for development, and have more I am testing.
  • I have a PDF which contains a "Mini Resume" and a lot of "LightScribe Stuff" I've researched.
  • I continually develop PDFs on the Tools I use for development.
  • I developed 110 Custom Templates for the Template Labeler.
  • I developed 5 collections of Images.
  • I developed a New Custom Wedding Template for one Forum User and I did one for another Forum User.
  • I fixed one LSL File for another User by changing a White Outline of some Text to Black.
  • I created Previews of all my Custom Templates and Images and have Catalogues of both as PDF Files.
  • I created 173 ICONS and a PDF Preview.
  • I developed 4 Test "borders" for the Simple Labeler.
  • I tend to concentrate on Filling the entire disk surface especially with TEXT, Bold, Outline, White Text, and More Font Control.
  • I have all this and more in My MS Windows Live Skydrive and on My Office Live Workspace.
  • I have just finished writing a 2nd Newsletter and a List of Newsletter Topics about what I've been doing and 2 other FREE Programs I've been researching.
  • 115 Forum Users have taken my offer.

Send me a Private MESSAGE containing:

  • Your correct E-mail Address (REQUIRED BY SITE to send links);
  • Your full name (For my records); and
  • A nickname you use (For my records).

I am retired on a disability, and I do this TOTALLY FREE.

I also try my best to keep E-mail Addresses confidential. I use "Blind Carbon Copies" when I send out anything.

I only occasionally send out Special Notifications, if I do something major.

The only "COST" is your E-mail Address which is REQUIRED both My MS Office Live Workspace and My Windows Live Skydrive to allow access to the stuff I've developed.

I just found out that:
If an Editor or Viewer forwards their E-mail "Invitation" to someone else, that person can use the link in the sharing "Invitation" to view a read-only version of my content.

Ron,
When you get your own image on the preview screen, do not click the zoom in.
Only use the Fit button.
If when using the fit button, your image is not showing properly. This means your own template label is too small.
Make your template 1200 x 1200 Pix. at 300 dpi

And, again: Do Not Zoom, It will always be too faint or blurry, this is because when you zoom in on an image thats too small it will pixelate.

I have the perfect size blank template to give HERE
