## Templates, text, and images

In addition to the techniques explained in the quick start, LightScribe Template Labeler lets you work with templates, text, and images in a variety of ways, described here.

#### Templates

If you choose a template and provide text and images, and then decide to try a different template, click Back to choose a different template. The text and images from the first template appear in the second template. When you switch templates, the images from the first template are auto-fitted to the image spaces in the second template.

If you provide text and images for a template with, for example, two text placeholders and four image placeholders and then switch to a template with one text placeholder and two image placeholders, it will appear that your text and images are missing. In fact, the template you've chosen only supports a smaller amount of text and images. If you switch to a template with more placeholders, you will see your text and images.

Click Reset to clear the template (delete the text and images).

Additional templates are available at www.lightscribe.com/go/labelgallery.

LightScribe Template Labeler does not allow templates to be modified. For information about software that lets you create your own designs, go to www.lightscribe.com.

LightScribe Template Labeler provides templates into which you can drop your photos and text to easily create fun labels for your discs. Other labeling software applications help you make faster, simpler labels that include only a small amount of text and a border image. Others give you more control over your content, without template constraints. To learn about other labeling software options, go to www.lightscribe.com/go/software.
