My customers will never be designing on a blank white background. They will be designing on top of a graphical background (see attached sample).
I realize now that the product-level background is not the way to go since it is not included in the production file, and was more a feature to allow a sample t-shirt or mug to be behind the design area.
So, is there a way to establish the background so that:
1. It always remains on the bottom layer
2. elements/layers can not be placed below the background.
Does this make sense?
My ideal scenario would be to have the user pick from 5 to 10 different background options in an intuitive an obvious way. The multi-BG would have been perfect for this since the background selector is in-your-face and not stacked somewhere in the layers. My templates will have lots of prepopulated layers so the background will get lost among them and not be obvious.
Another question: Is there any way at all to include the background image in the final file if I utilize the muit-BG product properties? My thinking is this: Once I download the PDF production file, I would use Acrobat to replace the lo-rez RGB background with the hi-rez CMYK background. This would solve all my CMYK issues as well =).
