Barcode with Photoshop or GIMP

Hi!

I need to design some labels with barcode. Unfortunately I have no idea how to make one with Photoshop or GIMP (or any other way)?

Thanks,
martin

use single column marquee tool

click it a few times (make sure u have "add to selection" selected), dont be precise, and leave like 3 to 8 pixels between each selection,

press D,
press ALT+D

duplicate the layer,
move it to the left / right till you get a good view of a bar code

if not succeeded duplicate and move it again (so you have 1 original and 2 duplicates) or try leaving more/less space between each selection
