It turns out they want the CD label background not the circle but the square the exact same size as the template. So my original question was a misconception I had. I can't color the template even though it was easy. I have to hide the template when uploading. Discmakers told me not to worry about the other templates but to only use the PDF template which opens fine in GIMP. Alex approved what I sent him, so it appears I don't need the PDF-X4. I asked him about that. To be safe I'll get them to mail us proofs before production, so I can really see how it'll turn out with no variables. -- GerryPeters (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
