Labeler Description

The Labeler application was designed to be a program that lets you quickly create good quality labels and business cards in a minimum of time. This user guide will help you get the most from Labeler. abeler is essentially a paint program specially modified for making labels and cards, and functions as a cross between a bitmap editor and a layout program. Many of the designs you can use Labeler to create in just minutes could take an extremely long time to do in the typical label program, mostly due to the unique built-in text effects and special drawing tools. In Labeler, the image on screen is streched to show the printed label, which allows you to see the entire label as it is created, rather than just parts of it. For the most part the printed output looks best when doing labels at 800x600 (or higher) screen resolution, because the printed label image quality will depend on the size of the screen image. As a result, higher screen resolution translates to a sharper and better looking printed image. The Full Screen method used by Labeler is an application whose time has come. In years past, when monitor resolutions and video card technology weren't as advanced, a full screen program like Labeler wasn't quite as viable, mostly because of the 640x480 resolution that was typically used. To get around this problem most Label making programs at the time were vector graphics based, which tended to limit the design possibilies, or you could use an expensive art program that could get the job done but was usually hard to use (there were often classes offered to show you how to use these programs!) So, you could make passable designs quickly in the vector programs or you could make great designs in the art programs if you were willing to invest the time. Labeler bridges this gap, allowing you to create great designs in a very short time. As most modern PC's are now sold with 17" monitors or 15.1" 1024x768 LCD screens, Labeler can use the full screen for a label template and derive decent printed image quality without having to resort to scrolling and such. The upshot is that you can see the entire label you are making at all times while you are designing it. Main features: Can print any sheet label Works with standard WMF format vector clipart files, which allows you to immediately use hundreds of megabytes of commercially available clipart works with standard internet GIF and JPG files, which allows you to immediately use downloaded Web page images Unique 3d drawing tools for special effects Unique text effects Designed to take advantage of today's low cost color inkjets simple to use Labeler can import Standard WMF (Windows MetaFile) format clip art. Labeler uses a unique and simple method for importing the clipart -- it converts it to a bitmapped graphic at any size to a 450x450 pels max limit. In the clip art dialog window, you pick the name of the file, and the artwork appears. Change the size setting by moving the scrollbar, and when you get to the size you like, click the OK checkmark. The window pops away, the cursor changes to a hand, and just click and drag the artwork to wherever you want it. It's that simple. Artwork pastes using a transparent layer. In most programs the WMF artwork is surrounded by a white area which is rectangular in shape. Put a piece of artwork on a painted background, and... uh-oh, the painted background is obliterated with the white area. Not so with Labeler! The artwork has no white area; only the artwork image itself is pasted on to the label, thus preserving the background. This method (transparent layer) makes Labeler extremely flexible in how pre-rendered artwork is applied to a label. User defined label sizes are easy to do. That means that you can do things with Labeler that extend its scope. For instance, here at AlstonLabs we use it to create really cool background color swatches for our business cards. You can also add new label definitions that are actually existing label sizes but run through the printer in Landscape (sideways) mode, which means that you can create labels in any orientation. If you live outside the USA, using A4 and other sheet sizes is a snap, too. Unique Text effects allow you to quickly create effective text emphasis in seconds.
