			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are the steps you need to take in order to start creating your own software boxes:</p>
<p><strong>1. Install Adobe Photoshop (CS3or CS4 recommended)</strong></p>
<p>If you don’t have Adobe Photoshop on your computer, download the CS4 trial version (works for 30 days)  from <a title="Adobe Photoshop Trial" href="http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US_D_FP_4_T" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>2. Create the following folder on your hard disk:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0066ff;">c:\AbsoluteCovers.com\output</span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3. Download and install the action script from <a title="Software Box Action Script" href="http://www.absolutecovers.com/help/actions/Software Box(1).atn">here</a></strong></p>
<p>(if you have already installed Photoshop, installing the action is a simple matter of dragging the file over the Photoshop window, or a double click on the action file in Windows Explorer)</p>
<p>In the <em>Actions</em> palette you should have a new folder called <strong><a href="http://www.absolutecovers.com/software-box">Software Box</a>(1)</strong></p>
<p><strong>4. Select <em>Step 1</em></strong> and click on <strong>Play</strong>(&gt;).  This will create the flat layout of your box with  distinctive front side, top flap and left flap.</p>
<p><strong>5. Finalize your box design</strong> and click on <em><strong>Step 2 &#8211; Play</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>6. Add/remove shadow/reflection</strong> and then click on <em><strong>Step 3 &#8211; Play</strong></em> to save the <a href="http://www.absolutecovers.com/software-box">software box</a> (you will find the images in <span style="color: #0066ff;">c:\AbsoluteCovers.com\output </span>folder)</p>
<p><strong>Send us some samples of your designs, if they are good, we might hire you! </strong><img src="http://smiley4.me/wink.gif" alt=";)" /></p>
<p>Here is a video detailing some of the steps:</p>
<p><object id="csSWF" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="400" height="318" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="data" value="/video/SoftwareBox.swf" /><param name="src" value="/video/SoftwareBox.swf" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="flashVars" value="autostart=false" /><param name="flashvars" value="autostart=false" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="false" /><embed id="csSWF" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="318" src="/video/SoftwareBox.swf" flashvars="autostart=false" scale="noscale" allowfullscreen="false" allowscriptaccess="always" quality="best" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" data="/video/SoftwareBox.swf"></embed></object></p>
