Photoshop Elements

I have version 4, but I want to create some DVD cover and this isn't included. I have an idea that it is included in version 5, but is there anyway I can update my current version 4 free?

    Knowing Adobe, I would guess that nothing will be free (except Acrobat reader)

    Have a look at somewhere like cnet.co.uk in their download sections, they have a LOT of utilities, a lot of them are freeware, so I am sure there will be something there for you. You can alter your search for you operating system and the licence you want (Free, free to try, shareware etc)

    Good Luck

    Why not just setup the guides and image size to match the DVD size and use the version you have?

    Don't bother upgrading for this, all it does is create a 11"x7.5" (272mm x 182mm) file does not even tell you where the spine is.

    Just create a file this size yourself.

    I was just about to say the same thing. The template is a luxury, not a necessity. It's easy enough to set it up from scratch.

    Its not hard to do with publisher just measure the case and make various rectangles for front, side and back and place them on top of each other so they line up

    Then insert required clip art, jpegs etc and print
