Anyone want to design my band's logo?

So, I've become semi-decent at making CD art, and I really enjoy seeing the restorations other members have done on my favorite bands' covers. The logo work is amazing too, but I have no experience at all doing it. Besides that, I'm better at repairing/fixing than creating graphics. I'm about as cre...

Re: Exact center to prevent disc 'wobble'

In your video, if you look closely at when you rotate the image (cool trick BTW) you can see that the image is now centered, but the split-disc isn't - there's still wobble. BUT, I'm guessing that may be from when I saved the label the 1st time. I get the gist of what you've suggested though, I'll p...

Re: Exact center to prevent disc 'wobble'

Wow, very cool tutorial on the fly. I appreciate the excellent help! So, resizing it to 999 will eliminate the centering issue. I was noticing that I had to make the whole image as an even number - not odd- to get it to fit into the template. I guess I need to do it with the entire image after it is...

Re: Exact center to prevent disc 'wobble'

Hmmm... Maybe I need a tutorial on doing what you just did. I can't seem to make the align tool do anything, and I'm still coming up with the pixel error.

Re: Exact center to prevent disc 'wobble'

Yes, I think you nailed it... Unfortunately the background isn't transparent now, but I'm assuming I can still do everything like I was, except to "re-size the final image to 999px, auto-crop the layer, then use the alignment tool to center it on the canvas." Would I resize the entire image - templa...

Re: Exact center to prevent disc 'wobble'

Here's a link. https://www.dropbox.com/s/owohbzr513y2rhj/FanArt.submit.xcf This is after I've saved everything, but before converting to .png. The error of which I speak exists here. I check and double check to be sure every ring is perfectly round and at dead center, but somewhere in the process of...

Exact center to prevent disc 'wobble'

Using GIMP I'm having a hell of a time with some of my images and getting them EXACTLY centered. I check all my circles using zoom and ellipse, along with cross hair guides. When I save the image, everything seems as perfect as can be, but between then and the time they get to the site, they get rej...
