Abstract:
A method of generating a computer page file representing a compact disc label sheet having at least one label thereon for one or both of a compact disc case and a compact disc, the method comprising the operations of:providing the compact disc label sheet having at least one of the labels thereon, wherein the sheet may support the at least one of the labels at any of a plurality of locations on the sheet, the sheet with the at least one of the labels supported at a particular location defining a particular geometric layout configuration for which the computer has no corresponding computer page file, the sheet having at least one image thereon in addition to the at least one label; optically accenting the particular geometric layout configuration; scanning the optically accented particular geometric layout configuration to generate a digital representation of the compact disc label sheet having the at least one of the labels thereon; excluding from the digital representation of the compact disc label sheet all of the images thereon so that the remaining digital representation represents only the at least one of the labels; analyzing the remaining digital representation to determine the location on the sheet of each of the at least one of the labels; and creating a new computer page file representing the compact disc label sheet having the at least one label thereon, the new computer page file including data as to the location on the sheet of each of the at least one of the labels.
