Problem: Article: Before you do anything, it's always a good idea to save your files so that if anything goes wrong, or when you print your cover you can easily go back and make changes if you don't like how it looks. Before you print, you should do a print preview to make sure that everything looks good and is on your page. If you are running Windows, then you can find the print preview button under the "Menu" tab. If you are running Mac OSX then you can find the print preview button under the "File" tab at the top. Clicking the "Print" button in Photoshop will also bring up a printing preview for you. If you are printing multiple pages, then you should print a single test page first to ensure that your homemade DVD cover is to your liking. This way if there are any issues you won't have wasted a lot of ink and paper. Before you insert your DVD cover, you should lay the paper flat for around 20 to 30 minutes to make sure the ink has dried so you don't get any smudges when you insert it into your DVD case. If you are using photo paper that's glossy, you may have to let it dry for a bit longer. Once the paper is dry, open up your DVD cover and lay it flat. Simply slide the paper into your cover and adjust it so it's even. And voila! You've made your own DVD cover! If you have a DVD-disk with a white top and a DVD burner that allows you to burn images onto the disk, use it! It will really add realism to your DVD. If not, you can always place a label on it. You can find all sorts of press-on labels at office or computer supplies stores. Enjoy your film! Present the film as a real DVD. It will really wow your audience.
Summary: Save your file. Do a print preview. Print a test page. Let the ink on the paper dry. Insert your paper into your DVD cover. Get the Popcorn!

Many people advocate a chamomile compress as a way to help soothe a piercing and potentially prevent scarring. You will need a bag of chamomile tea. Boil some water and immerse the tea bag in the water. After several minutes, remove the tea bag. Let the tea bag cool for a few minutes. Then, apply the tea bag to your piercing, in the area where you feel pain. If you got your lip pierced, eating and drinking something cool can help. Try ice cream, cold water, cold beverages, popsicles, frozen yogurt, and other cold items to ease the pain. You can also eat small pieces of ice to get relief from pain with lip or tongue piercings. There may be certain foods that irritate your skin. If anything you're eating seems to aggravate the piercing, try something else. While putting ice or an ice pack on your piercing may seem like a good idea, you could end up accidentally irritating the piercing by putting pressure on it. If you want to cool the area, stick to something gentler, like a cool chamomile tea compress. Aside from oral piercings, most piercings do not swell very much if they're done correctly. You shouldn't have any need to use ice to reduce swelling from a non-oral piercing.
