Ebook Cover Software

So you have written a great ebook and are ready to market it? If so, you probably already know that in order to do this successfully, you need to have a professional looking cover design for your ebook package. Along with a quality sales page and affiliate materials, an ebook cover is one of the features that helps distinguish a quality product from its competitors.

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but when it comes to ebook publishing, a cover image may actually be worth much more. Ebook covers with a professional look and feel to it will inspire trust in your buyers and brand. The money spent on producing a quality image to represent your ebook will easily pay for itself by increasing the conversion rates and downloads of your electronic book and related products.

When it comes to ebook cover design, there are three main options you have to produce a quality and professional looking ebook cover:

    1. Professional Graphic Design. You can hire a professional graphic designer to create your ebook cover for you. This is usually the most expensive option, although you can get excellent results.

    2. Use Adobe Photoshop Using a professional graphics software such a Adobe Photoshop to design your ebook cover yourself can be a good option if you already own the software. However, it will be fairly expensive if you need to purchase the software itself, and learning how to use the software to create ebook covers can take quite a bit of time and effort.

    3. Ebook Cover Software. Stand alone ebook cover software programs are often surprisingly affordable, but the quality of these programs can vary considerably.

Here are some more details about these different options for ebook cover creation along with some recommended services and software providers:

Professional Ebook Cover Graphics Design

One of the easiest ways to produce a quality ebook cover for your product is to hire an experienced ebook cover designer to create one for you. However, this can be an expensive option as well, often costing well into the thousands of dollars depending on the person you hire.

However, there are a few online companies that specialize in creating ebook covers at an affordable price. One of your best options is KillerCovers:

Photoshop Ebook Cover Plugins

Photoshop is a great software program for creating ebook covers, but unless you already have considerable experience creating 3-D images using Photoshop it can be time consuming to learn this process. Fortunately there are several Photoshop plugins that can make ebook cover creation a breeze.

My current favorite is the ecover plugin offered by BlackBeltCovers. It is quite affordable (currently $37, although the price is scheduled to rise soon), and it makes the production of professional looking ebook graphics as easy as one click. The plugin options not only generates images of ebook covers, but you can also use it to create images of DVDs, CDs, product boxes and more.

You will need to have Adobe Photoshop already installed on your computer in order to use this plugin. However, once you have mastered using the plugin, you will be able to use it time and time again to create quality ebook cover designs.

Stand-Alone Ebook Cover Software Applications

If you do not already have Adobe Photoshop installed on your computer and do not wish to purchase it at this time, then you should seriously consider purchasing a stand alone ebook cover creation software package instead.

One of the easiest to use ebook cover software programs that does not require that you already own Adobe Photoshop is the Push Button E-Cover Creator. This very affordable ($27) and easy to use ebook cover creator can create quality ebook covers in a matter of minutes.
