Best Product Graphics Tools

robbiek · 06-25-2009, 11:27 AM

I've always outsourced graphics, being challenged in that department. However, I'd like to have a go, but am not aware of any good tools to make a 3d product box, CD covers and the like. Can anybody suggest appropriate SW ? Thanks.

Two of the best ecover action scripts are:

Black Belt Covers (Cheap and what I use on many of my sites)
www.BlackBeltCovers.com

CAP (Not Cheap, offers alternative ecover layouts that Black belt doesn't)
www.CoverActionPro.com

Hope that helps,

P.S: New version of CAP is due for release sometime soon.. looks great.

check out Photoshop Action Scripts - 3d Ebook Cover Software if you have Photoshop

Don Schenk · 06-28-2009, 08:41 AM

If you acquire Photoshop, here is a pdf that explains how to make ecovers/boxes. It will let you make them at any ppi and size you wish. You could build your own actions script. I think it will also work with GIMP (a free, open source graphics program.)

Nice guide Don. Thanks

Great simple guide for beginners Don, better than a lot of other tutorials I've seen on the web! If you're looking for a way of automating the process, try this ebook cover software.

Since you're looking for something simple, I would recommend GFX Writer from Incansoft.

EcoverGo is good

I use it all the time and its not that expensive.

Hmm - wish I'd been aware of the alternatives but I got Cover Action Pro and recommend it highly. Like Kate said, a new version is out imminently. - J

If you want to keep costs down try Gimp, it's free and almost as capable as Photoshop. You can get it from gimp.org.
If you want to make curved ebook covers with it you can grab a free pdf from my sig.

Best?

I have and use more than 5 if not more depending on
the project and its requirements.

Because my friend as in everything else there´s no
one size fits all - no product that fills all the needs.

If all you need is covers for websites and not for
print here´s a proven and tested product which I use
which includes a course teaching how to design
yourself professional quality graphics (no other
product I remember teaches that) and other cool
bonuses
