I use GIMP here, but close enough.

I just took a quick look through their website. The first thing that amused me was the paucity of book covers actually visible on the main page. I did eventually find a gallery of templates - both photoshop and for the software itself. I guess templates would make production of print book covers easier - I don't know how that is usually managed for print-on-demand books - but I saw nothing there that would make the software appealing for ebook covers (or not at that price anyway).

The drinks are on him.
If you can't do it in GIMP, you probably can't do it by yourself. http://selfpubauthors.com/2010/03/08...cover-in-gimp/ http://www.liannesimon.com/2012/03/0...ver-with-gimp/ Having said that, I just found THIS site: http://www.myecovermaker.com/ecover-design Interesting. Also this but haven't looked as hard at it. http://www.ecovercreatortool.com/creator/index.php Last edited by dadioflex; 06-14-2012 at 11:23 AM. |
