E-book cover software

Mark Hess' Easy Cover Creator is a great and affordable software that you can use to create cool custom covers.

I use this and love it. I think it was like $10.

Hope this helps

Mike Cowles has a very good one here is the link , he did a webinar the other day and used it during some graphics demo , worth signing up for his free webinars

I use photoshop and gimp they work best for me.

You can use gimp as it is an free open source software

Hi edmercer,

It depends if you have Photoshop or GIMP and action scripts to render them as 3-D images. If you don't then there are ways you can easily make free or low-cost e-covers (depending on which style of cover you want).

All the best,
Michael

this is a good 1.

ecover design - design it yourself online

And its free

Cover Action Pro is best and you can also try photoshopactionscripts.com

Check out, Armand Morin's Ebook Generator

What's the learning curve on these? Do you need a lot of artistic ability?

I'm using this one right now
Quick 3D Cover - Home (boxshots, e-books covers, CD Jewel cases, DVD-cases, templates).

Quick 3D Cover
A bit pricey, but it's really easy to use,
and has very nice designs as well

I did this in about 15 minutes the other day:



Hope it helps

Do you want to make your service or product look credible and professional?

If so, I would not use a generic eCover generator. I have seen just about all of them, and not one of them produces a high quality eCover design, not one.

Now, it may be possible to generate something of high quality if and only if your a designer who has design skills, which kinda defeats the whole point in the first place.

So, my suggestion for you and anyone else that reads this, is to hire someone on the warrior forum who does this professionally to do it for you...

You'll find a whole variety of people on here some more experienced than others. I guess you should look at their portfolio and see if you like what they have done? Then choose accordingly. I've seen this service offered from as low as $10.00 up to $135.00 just for one eCover. And what I have seen as a pattern is that you get what you pay for.....

So, choose wisely....

WOW I am amazed no one mentions Tru Box shot I swear by it for years!

The best software for ebooks covers design is Photoshop with Photoshop Action Scripts (3D Cover Actions). You can find these scripts on any torrent tracker or buy.

My vote is for using Paint.net to design the front over and then using 3D-box maker » 3d-box & package on-line for free to turn it into a 3D cover - great free tools!

I use the 1 Click Covers plugin for Adobe Photoshop and have been very happy with it. 1ClickCovers - The #1 eCover Design package (not an affiliate link)

I recently bought cover action pro and although it is a bit pricey I love using it and the final product is awesome. Highly recommended if you can afford the 200.00

I like using eBook Cover Generator | eCover Creator 3D. It very fast and has different choices

Use photoshop. It is one of the best software for designing

photoshop is the best for design every image. I personally suggest to you to use this software.

Mark Monciardini from Cover Action Pro, I thiink he is the best so far - we used it also..

if you have low budget, you can try oneinamillionsecovers.com or blackbelt.com

good luck

EDMERCER,

A good product and easy to use is REAL-DRAW PRO which is much more than an ebook cover creator, it is a graphics and ilustrations package for only $55. You can create 2D and 3D and is having even LIQUID VECTORS.
It is a good value for the money and you can create webpages with original graphics/ilustrations done by you in about one hour. Image what money you can make selling unique webpages.
This is the link, look to see the FEATURES

I use my e cover maker dot com. 3.99 a cover/ 9.99 mo/ The 9.99 gets you unlimited covers for you or sell to clients. A great platform and easy to use. Makes great covers. Glad I found and worth it. Go try out the demo. You'll be hooked!

with action points photo shop can easily make great covers

Don't buy an "eBook cover generator" it's just another waste of money. Outsource it on DP or Fiver for under $10 or just simply learn how to use Gimp and/or Photoshop. Making your OWN cover in Gimp/Photoshop is your best way to go.

You can take a day off and learn Photoshop/Gimp and never need to pay again to have a cover made, life long skill. Take it or leave it!

Paint.net free open source

Can't beat CoverActionPro if you have photoshop and knows how to use 'actions'.

eBook Cover Generator | eCover Creator 3D is solid

You don't need a software. I can provide you a good designer I found at Fiverr.

I know there "actions" you can buy for Photoshop, too. Quite expensive but the look is professional: 3D, shades, DVDs, Books, mirror reflections etc...I can't remember the name of the product but you can google "photoshop cover ebook creator" or similar things

i am also looking for an ebook software

Photoshop cs3 with an action script for ecovers design !
