Capture a CD cover using your video camera, edit it and assign it to a track:
You have real CD cover in your hands and you want to capture and assign it to a track (and its album) follow those steps:
|
- place the camera over your main screen (this is not strictly necessary, but it can help, many newer Mac computers already use an iSight camera integrated in the upper side of the main screen)
- verify that there is a good illumination (best results can be obtained in rooms having diffused and bright light, while light sources near the camera can generate undesired glares)
- if the CD cover is mounted on a CD case, remove the CD case, usually the presence of the CD case produces undesired glares
- press the Capture (or Flash Capture) button on the lower right side of the main window
|
- the main screen will become black with a square delimited area filled by your filming video camera
- a count down will start and you'll listen one beep every second (you can decide the duration of the countdown from the preferences)
- get your CD cover and place it in front of the camera trying to fill the square delimited area (you need to practice a little, keep the cover with your open hand, avoid to put fingers on the cover, and try to keep the cover perpendicular to the video camera axis)
|  |
- when count down ends you'll listen a flash sound and the capturing window will close
- the captured cover will appear on the main window and the Adjust palette will open to show the editing controls

|
- the editing controls will activate
- captured cover can moved vertically and horizontally, scaled, rotated and cropped,
- noise, sharpness, expsoure, saturation, contrast and brightness can be modified too

|
- not satisfied with the captured cover ? try again, change lighting, use the Capture Flash button and practice. Send us a feedback at this subject specifying if you need more controls
- if your capture is satisfying, select a track to which you want to assign the cover (it has to be a track with unassigned cover), then press the "Assign" button

- the cover will be assigned to the selected track and to other tracks without artwork of the same album
