[GUI Plugin] Prettify Cover
Prettify Cover Scale book-covers proportional to the full screen of your e-reader. The calibre cover-grid looks even better with all cover-images in the same size. Scaling book-covers proportional usually adds an empty margin. With „Prettify Cover“ you can choose how to align the image and how to fill the margin:
Usage:
Now you've generated the new book-cover for calibre, only. If you want this new cover in your ebook (epub, etc.) use the plug-in „Polish Book“ and make sure the option „update the cover in the book files“ is checked. Click OK and upload the ebook with the new cover to your e-reader. Content-aware background fill: You can use „Prettify Cover“ without this feature. If you want to use it you need GIMP and the resynthesizer plug-in for GIMP installed.
Edit with GIMP button: Since version 0.9.6. you can start GIMP to edit the original cover. When done editing select:
Now proceed as usual. Q: Why is the GIMP button grayed out and not clickable? A1: Install GIMP then restart Calibre. (Mac OS is not supported, yet.) Installation Steps: Download the attached zip file and install the plugin/add to context menu or toolbar/restart Calibre as described in the Introduction to plugins thread.

Thanks for your bugreport. I will upgrade "prettify cover" for calibre version 3.x in the next 3-4 weeks. For the time beeing downgrade to calibre 2.8.5 (last 2.x version) if you want to use the gimp features... (afaik all features are working in 3.x only the gimp features don't) |
