DiscLabel 5.x, A Tool for A Professional Designer, Or An Occasional User?
SmileOnMyMac has been making DiscLabel for quite some years now. Throughout that period, the application evolved from a simple disc labelling program to what seems like a powerhouse of disc labelling. With DiscLabel 5.x you can add automatically flowing text on a disc label, get access to an open source clipart library, add image and layer effects, and basically do most things you can also do in Photoshop or Illustrator --but only on CD/DVD related media.
DiscLabel gained the ability to output to paper labels, HP’s DVD Tattoos, LightScribe and now also the Dymo DiscPainter. Its interface grew to accommodate the ability to label jewelboxes as well. But the question remains: do professional designers use applications like DiscLabel, or do they still grab their copy of Illustrator or Photoshop to create the design? And if they do, is there a use for DiscLabel at all?
