Need labeling software!

image software that you can use to make labels any size you want. I got
iPhoto Plus 4 with my scanner and it's not a real fancy but it beats the
heck out of label wizard. I use a greeting card template then reduce the
image size to 3" x 3"

being used on PBS that cut ovals but they ended up being way too big for
even a 16 oz bottle. Anyone know of a device or tool that will cut little
ovals (Becks-like)?
By the way, I tried the paper and glue stick method and I'm a believer!
Stays on perfectly and a 20 second soak in warm water takes 'em right off
and no residue left behind. Absolutely perfect, but it takes a little extra
time. Can get much cheaper though....

I use MS Publisher and Avery labels.
You can DL a trial version.
There are ways to get around trial limitations if you are
really cheap and/or unscrupulous (but don't ask me to tell you how).

But how do you cut them out? I think it would come out pretty crummy if
done by hand. I think I may have to just stick with the standard
rectangular. Oh well, it was a though....

the timed out version, and re-install the program again , resetting the trial
period. Im not familiar with label wizard software, but most of the time this
works.
Happy brewing and safe travels......,Mark

I use lotus smartsuite, and have a database where all my info for the beer
goes, what canister, type of sugar, finishing hops, any grains added etc...
with a category for comments, which when tasting I can put my opinions for
later reference. Any way, from the database you can build up a display page,
where you can just select what info from the dBase that you are requiring,
eg date bottled, brew name, name of canister, etc.. what info you want to
read on side of bottle. From this I made makeshift stickers 2 across, by
seven down for avery labels J8163 (99.1mm x 38.1mm), its a little bit of
trial and error initially to get the labels in the right place but after
that, you are laughing.
At any stage you can highlight a previous beer, and at same time the label
info is filled in.... piece a piss
when drinking if particularly nice beer, just look at label, and can tell
you what was added or in the beer.

Or you could actually pay for the software! Shareware programmers have to
eat (and drink) to!
If you like the software enough to keep using it, you are supposed to pay
for it. You should be ashamed of yourself for suggesting such practices.

booking is a big thing in crafts right now and they have templates of all shapes
and gizmos to cut out almost any shape. Some are like craft knives hooked to a
center oval or round shaped pole (depending on the shape you're making)

template in microsoft word that is all set up for it, I just make sure that the image I use is turned sideways and then use text boxes turned sideways on top
and bottom for the information I always give each recipe a name and put the date of botteling on the label that way I can go to my file and look up all of
the data on the beer in the bottle and I know instantly how old (or young) it is. Just my idea.

My .02.
I use coloured dots about a cm round ( say 1/3 inch). and write the
brew number on them.
I use brew.txt in notepad to keep notes on each brew
brew#, date & temp when started,
time & temp yeast pitched,
date fermenting started, ingredients & if extras
For each day until bottled
date/time, day (since yeast pitched), wort temp, outside temp, SG
bubbling notes - secs between each bubble.
FWIW
