CD Cover Size?

Ok, so i'm need to make a cd cover,but i don't know the proper dimensions. I looked around and it said 12cm by 12cm but every time i try to use those dimensions, it always ends up looking WAY too big. Any help?

 

That's 12cm by 12cm, a CD cover size....Not that big is it?

Hope that helps ya. ^_^

 

thank you! it's just that everytime i did that, it turned out HUGE for some reason.

 

wow i necer nnew that lolz

 

It's the PS perception of size.

If your making a A4 Page in PS, its HUGE on your screen but never nearly as big when you print it. Kinda weird. ^^

 

I will see if i can help out

 

If your resolution is more then the default (72 I think) then it looks a lot bigger, because you get more color per inch.

Yeah but you have to use 300 or so to get printable color quality, 72 looks rubbish when you print it.

Just wanted to point that out.

 

yeah also on my cs3 sometimes the zoom in and out is not set to default 100% so maybe check that, other than that the screen res is a good answer
