What's New in v4.0
LightScribe™ support
From now on, you will be able to use CD Label Designer with your LightScribe™ drive. This was a mostly requested feature over the last period. To use it, just design label as you did before, choose File | Print, and then, instead of clicking on Print, click LightScribe button.
Special effects
Now you can give your labels more astonishing look by using new Effects toolbox. You can drop a shadow under any type of object or set a level of transparency to achive a "see-through" effect.
New and improved shapes
In addition to shapes available so far, now you can also put stars, polygons and diamonds. Use them with advanced fill options (such is gradient and pattern) to make your labels more appealing to the eye!
Custom fields
Starting from v4.0, you can define spreadsheet-like table with custom fields and insert them to any text object. Once record (row) is printed, software marks it and uses different values next time. This way it's easy to print mailing labels or CD/DVDs with dynamic customer information.
Image Browser
To find images more easily, use new Image Browser window. You can browse local or network folders or use embedded Web browser to search the Internet. To place an image to a label, just drag it from this window.
Improved print layout window
Among few other small improvements, we've added a new option to create layouts as grids. It's especially useful when you want to define positions for mailing or business card labels - positioning one by one would be too much. Instead, just enter number of columns and rows and distance between them, and CD Label Designer will do the rest!
Other improvements
There are also numerous small and almost invisible improvements concerning ease of use, drawing quality and performance. Probably most important are GIF image support and image transparency, but depending on how you use CD Label Designer, you might also notice other things that will make your life easier.
