How can I add Disk Templates to My Image Garden

Allenz — Tue, 15 Apr 2014 22:18:31 GMT

I hope I got the right forum. I kinda lost and this is my first time here.

Geee I really hate "My Image Garden" But I don't know it or how to do things. I scan something, then have to drag it to my desktop then re-name it and file it. What a pain!

Okay first off, I'm on a 2008 iMac and the printer is the MG6320 black, replacing an old Epson R280. Loved that one cause I could print 3x5 cards, the Print CD program nad a ton of disk templates. But Canon never could sell the disc print feature I understand due to some patent issues, but I understand it was sold in Europe with the function.

Well now I got the Canon printer and it does quite nice. It's wireless on a netwwork of 3 Macs and 1 PC, haha

Anyway okay I found the disk templates. Oh yea all 3 of them ha ha. But I have a ton of generic templates on my computer.

Question is can I and how would I be able to add some more disk templates. Canon support says they don't offer any more templates.

Thanks

Allen

Yes, this drove me nuts!!!! I know how to do all these things and hate all the 'pre-cast' options in Image Garden.

Not sure about templates but I can at last print my own custom-made labels.

I finally found out how to do this by doing a web search. I found the answer on YouTube - not a Canon site!!!

I prepare my label in Photoshop - sized 12cm x 12cm and save it as a jpeg file in a folder named 'Disc labels'. This is because Image Garden only likes to look at photos!!!!!

Then, I open the 'print disc' function in the Quick Menu. I navigate through my folders of photos until I find the disc labels one.

Right click on the label you want and you are offered several options, one of which is 'print disc label'!!!!!! And - off you go.

You can customise your images, design and text as YOU want them - not as those dreadful templates dictate!

But ..... the Quick Menu has just decided not to work so I am looking for answers in another forum now!!!!!

HA! so funny because now my Image Garden stopped working. Won't load a new template for a disk.

I found out a few things since writing my question. When you go to new item then disk, yes it shows 3 samples. But behind those which I can see but not load are quite a few variations of those 3 samples.

But as yet I can't get them to work together.

I'm not really a Photoshop guy; I prefer the old Paint Shop Pro from when Jasc made it before selling it to Corel. That's the only reason I still keep an old PC here with XP" Pro. Right now I"m trying to learn Pixelmator on the Mac and so far it doesn't seem too bad.

But I just went to Mavericks and am having some minor problems to iron out.

Thanks

Lovely printer .... so user unfriendly. And takes an age to get ready to print every time.

I am very experienced but ..... I cannot edit the text boxes as all the YouTube etc. guides say ... the 'edit text' box is simply not available. Yes, I can edit the text within the boxes but cannot edit the box size, position etc.

It took me a day to figure out how to put images into disc projects ... bu no way to adjust text .... simply a statement that says text edit may not be available in certain templates .... weird?

Please help .... I am simply wasting valuabletime.
