no i think I am done here, thanks - posting a scrambled 50Mb file is not practical- it's a huge book for kids with many colour pictures
and as I have explained over and over, the issue is just getting from a "cover" that has been recreated at HTML text + img, to a single image.

the CSS etc does not matter, as the generic question is just how to save/convert a single HTML text_ + image file within an ebook into a single composite image, without resorting to screen grabs. [ i think screen grabs is the only solution, actually]
I already posted the entire " book cover" html code in post #5.
I can create a titlepage as per your formula, which looks fine, but that is still a html text+image combo which needs to be transformed into a single image for calibre to treat as a cover image.
I am satisified with the outcome, I now know what can and what can't be automated, and the capabilities of the various suggested tools and plug ins.
i will PM you a screen grab
