I do mine with irfanview and OpenOffice draw, and public domain pics.
Cut, past, crop, add, let other people see them, after they get slammed to heck and
back I do it over. By the second or third one I get the one people like. LOL.

if you are looking for a cheap site to get an ecover done, coverscorp.com does ecovers for only $19 and the quality is really good. i also use oki at minisite911.com for my complete packages.

Go get GIMP which is a free-ware version of photo-shop, learn how to use it and you can make e-book covers, CD-covers, web-site banners, etc. It has a bit of a learning curve but is well worth it as you will save a ton of money over your IM buisnees lifetime.

Find out if Warrior Jay Young (WF name Jay) or Alexandre Valois has a WSO running, both can make you some very good ecovers and such.

MarK Monciardini's CoverActionPro (version 1) is what I use. There's a brand new version recently release. This software tends to be pricey (I paid $97 for version 1). Version 2 is a lot more, I believe. But it is worth every penny because you get to create your own graphical representations for any number of your own products (including ebooks, audio/video products, membership cards, etc.).

If you are not a creative type, there are video instructions that come with it and show you step-by-step how to use the cover actions in Photoshop.

You must have Photoshop version 7 or higher and, again, the older version (1) costs $97. Version 2 is awesome but I don't think I'll get it because despite all the bells and whistles, I don't need it at at this point.

Awesome software ... even for a newbie. Produces absolutely professional, high-resolution covers in spectacular colors.

I don't know if Mark has taken the first version off the market but you can visit the site at coveractionpro.com (this is not an affiliate link).

Hope this helps!

I've used Crystal Pro Covers. He does beautiful work at a reasonable price although there has recently been a price increase.

Why don't you use a designer here to do it ?? Just search the forum for ebook cover or ebook designer. Ben Pei just did some great work for me and he's a great guy easy to get along with and if you use grail he is almost always avail. to chat.

I was in the some position you are in a couple weeks ago. I checked around and figured what the heck I'd give it a go. Im glad I did, I now have a new addition to the team.

I'm a picky guy and he did several revisions far me @ no charge-until we got it right. I also got a discount for having several things done (2 banners an ebook and a site)

Here is a link to his "for hire" thread

I once earned a certificate in the Maya 3D animation program, but never put it to use. Maybe I could use it for this, heh heh.

[realaffiliatereviews]

if you search around, you will find great sites that do awesome graphics and ebook covers for less than $20 and an entire site with banners for less than $100

[bbenson19]

Hi I would love to do your e-covers if you want. Pm me if interested so I could send details. Thanks

[ozespirit]

You can pick up an Ecover Creator program in most of the giveaways. I then use Gimp which is free for editing my ecover. Not perfect but does a basic job

[David McKee]

The latest version of GIMP (2.6) can do layering, reflection, skew, and a million other different filters plus there are tons of plug-ins and other filters you can get. With practice you can do anything in GIMP you can do in Photoshop. Plus there are several other programs for simpler things such as "PaintStar" (also free). You can take a picture of an actual real manual and then use gimp to make it look better (ie: more real looking) than some of these generational programs. once you get it done, you keep it and just change the layers with your specific graphic/log/text for different e-books.

You want to make it look real because AB tests are showing that as people get more used to seeing these covers, they like the real looking covers better.

Obviously if budget is not a factor, then by all means save your most valuable asset - time and get a pro from here to do it, but learning GIMP (or Photoshop if you have it) is a highly valuable skill.

[sikaz]

l'll advise you not to use a free e-cover creator for something you intend to sell as a professional work that will carry your name.

Consult those who could do a professional work of it and get it done through them for a cheaper rate than what the elance or guru people would have charged you.

Give this a deep thought.

[greenovni]

Look for action cover pro

[Chris Stigson]

You can find a software, called "Cover action pro" and you can just insert an image and click a button and it will spit out an awesome looking box, but you need Photoshop to do this :P
