So what programs do you guys use to make the CDart for the movies?

Im trying to make some for some movies i have that are missing cd art. also, what size should they be i know its 1000px x 1000px but when i change to that size it gets skewed. any suggestions? i was using nero cover designer but it doesn't let me export to png.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hope this will get you started and don't hesitate to post back here if you have more questions or need help.

cool thank you. Yeah the moderator sent me the link to the tutorials.

Hijacking this thread for a question:

The tutorials say in the last step to use "Smush It" (http://www.smushit.com/ysmush.it/) to reduce the size of the final CDArt. Unfortunately Yahoo seems to have switched this service off. Is there any other good free alternative ?

I found Optimizilla (http://optimizilla.com) quite ok, but it seems to change the file to indexed colors and sometimes the colors are a bit pixelated after the compressing. An other alternative I found was Kraken (https://kraken.io/web-interface), but it has a upload size of 1MB.

Which sites do you use as an alternative to Smush it ?

I use pnggauntlet
