Abstract:
1. A method for producing a representation of a soft proof disc overlay of a printed label on a digital media storage disc, comprising: generating a printed label soft proof including a representation of at least one ink type; creating a representative digital media storage disc background image layer, said background image layer including a plurality of color gradients simulating an optical rainbow diffraction effect visible on a surface of a digital media storage disc; generating an image layer from said generated soft proof for each represented ink type; overlaying said generated image layer with said disc background image layer; combining said overlaid image layer with said disc background image layer to modify said selected disc background image layer using a process which is responsive to said represented ink type; and repeating said steps of overlaying and combining for each of said generated image layers, wherein said final disc background image layer represents said soft proof disc overlay on a digital media storage disc.
