[Gimp-user] album cover

["rosea.grammostola" <rosea grammostola gmail com>]

Hi,

I want to make an albumcover, the file  is  3008x2000. What is the best 
way to get it in the right dimensions for a CD wallet cover? Do I first 
edit everything, adding title etc. and then scale and crop it? Or crop 
and scale it first?

If you look at the picture in the background you see light coming 
through the back wall, it might be nicer if at least the large light 
bulbs will be removed and covered by color, any recommendations how to 
do that?

Here are the files:

Thanks in advance,
