Answer
Dear Mike,

Normally the CD size is 12X12(cm). So the cover supposes to be approximately to this size.

There's a panel in Adobe Photoshop 'Info'(F8), you can see the measurements of axis and color percentages on this box, also can see the dimensions of the area selection and grid's correct position can be found through this panel.


I have found few sites for you, hope it will help.
