One-Piece Cover Wizard for Photoshop CS3

I found another great tool for designing your book covers, courtesy of Lonesome Moose of Lulu, who wrote the ebook I recommended in my last post. His cover wizard script not only creates an exact measurement, based on your calculations and book size, but a barcode as well. All you have to do is enter your ISBN in the barcode section, and presto!

Since I already created my book cover, all I needed was the barcode. If you’re dealing with the same issue, open up a new file and enter in your ISBN number. Once the template is created, group the barcode layers together and copy to your original file. Piece of cake.

This script is also available for CS2, in case you were wondering.

    I was disppointed in my cover for Grams Magic, the presents are upside down, and the tiny fairies inside are also upside down.
    I checked the site for the pictures and they are upside down so I could not change it.

    While I pretty much have the cover thing covered (LOL) I do wish there was a template like this available for those that don’t use photoshop. I still use my old Paint Shop Pro 7 (although my new Vista HATES it, I can still make it work, haha).

    Hi, Tami,

    Yes, that would be nice. Perhaps someone will make a template for Gimp (the free alternative to Photoshop).
