A background image was chosen from a collection of images on a CD-ROM. A copy of this image was made.

The size, dimensions, colour balance, brightness and contrast was adjusted as desired. The final image had to be the size and shape of the label.

The name was written over the background. The size and style of font was selected. The text was then positioned.

The a colour, shading, or background texture was selected for the text. The effect chosen needed to be appropriate to thebackground.

A shadow could be added to the text, making it appear to stand out from the background. The colour, edge blending, transparency, direction and width of the shadow could be adjusted.

A border or shadow could be added to the entire labels.
