• For Photoshop users - 1st create an image 562 Pixels (7.806 inches) wide and 307 pixels (4.264 inches) in height. Then create a first layer and paste this front template to the layer.
• Then use the magic wand tool and click the inside of the empty part of the template ( view ). Fill it with white using the bucket tool and then copy and paste it to another layer to use for later. Then delete the white on the inside of the template image ( view ).
• Now, once you have these ready, take an image you want and paste it behind the layer of the white imprint of the skin ( view ).
• Reduce the pasted image to the size of the window... (this to this).
• You can reduce the image even more if you want by pressing CTRL + T... try and make you image fit as much as possible in the white skin thing in front of the image.
• Select the layer with the gray outline and use the wand tool to select the outline (view).
• Now while still having the outline selected, click on the layer with the image you want, and press delete so it deletes everything outside of the white PSP Skin. To check out your skin, either delete the white skin and undo once you're done looking, or click on the eye next to the white layer. Merge the outline and the inside image to make it look nicer. Then you can submit your skin on PSP411 and show it off to others!
• Once you get your new Logitech Case, all you need to do is open the case and take out the black rubber parts. Now take your picture and place it in front of the black rubber thing and put it back and you're set.

I just wanted to post a method of doing this picture thing a that makes it a hell of a lot easier than the mods instructions. This is for photoshop and may work for the photoshop ripoff program as well.
1) open the template provided at top of page
2) magic wand the white part and press control+J to jump the selection to it's own layer
3) open whatever image you want inside the psp template and drag it into the open template document. You may have to resize the image so hit control+T to get the free transform. If your image is huge and you can't see the edges of the transform box then hit control+0 (that's control+zero) and it will zoom out to show you all sides of the transform box. (No one knows that trick it seems) Then simply drag on corner of the box while holding shift to constrain your picture to it's natural shape and get it ready to go into the psp template. Don't resize it to fit in the template though, just get it to a reasonable size.
4) This part sounds a little tricky if you've never done it but it's easy once you know where to look. We're going to create a clipping path
that will enable you to move your image around while keeping it only within the template. On the layers palette while holding down the alt key, move the mouse between the template layer and the layer with your intended picture and you will see your arrow change to something that looks like a hollow circle, filled black oval, and another slightly filled circle below that with a black arrow pointing to the left. This is the sign that you are going to make a clipping path as soon as you click the mouse button, so go ahead and click it and you will will immediately see your picture become bound within the template layer. It is important that you have your picture layer above the template layer or this will not work how you want it to.
5) Now all you have to do is while making sure the picture layer is selected, simply drag your image around using the move tool on your document and it will stay inside the boundaries of the template.
6) Get everything working how you want and flatten your artwork. Nice, quick, and easy. And it allows you to maintain the editability if you decide you want something else there.
Have fun and good luck!

I just tossed together a little program to help you make your own covers, without needing Photoshop. It's still in development, but it's free. Check it out at link
