section and select the image that you’d like to import.

Drag a picture into the Background section and
drop it into the
Image
box (

OR,
From the File menu, choose Import > Background
Image (C Shift + I) and select the image that
you’d like to import.
Once the Background Image is loaded, it will auto-

imporTanT info:
Before importing a
Background Image, here are a few things to keep
in mind:
Image Size and Resolution
For optimum quality, please use a resolution of
600 dpi, sized at 2,773 pixel by 2,773 pixels.
For normal quality, please use a resolution of 72
dpi, sized at 2,773 pixels by 2,773 pixels.
Technical noTeS:
If you are using a color
image, it is also recommended that you use a
photo-manipulation application to convert the
image to greyscale.
We recommend you flatten layered pictures, as
layers tend to produce a lower quality of printing.
The LaCie LightScribe Labeler supports
transparency
.
Click on the Trash icon (
F
) in the Background sec-
tion of the Edit Pane.
OR,
Unlock the Background Image, select it and then
press the Delete/Backspace button on your keyboard.
