HOW TO DESIGN E-BOOK COVER IN SIMPLE METHOD USING PHOTOSHOP

                         While working in Photoshop I have found a simple method to design eBook covers. In this post I have explained the steps. To design eBook cover you should have Adobe Photoshop and a little knowledge about using Photoshop.


STEPS :

Step1:
                          Download 3 photoshop actions by clicking this link. This is a ZIP file and when you will unzip it you will get the following files.

   1. Ezine Spiral Binding Book Design
   2. HardBack Book
   3. PaperBack Book



Step2:
                         After downloading the actions, select your design that you want for your eBook. I have selected PaperBack.

Step3:

                         Now, open Adobe Photoshop and at the top Click on Windows and select Actions (Short cut is type Alt+F9). Doing this will open Actions window.

Step4:
                         In the Action box, in the right hand side click on the small arrow pointing downwards and select Load Actions as per the below.


Step5:
                          Now, navigate to your paperback.atn file and click on Load. This will bring the action file into the Action box.

Step6:
                         There are two steps in each action and we have to play each step one by one. Now, after loading the action file, click on the arrow beside the name of the action. Clicking on arrow will expand it into Step1 and Step2.


Step7:
                        Now, click on Step1 to highlight it and at the bottom of the action box click on Play button.As you will click on play button, Photoshop will start working automatically. After the Step1 will get completed click on Stop and edit the text. Repeat this step again for Step2 also.

                       Now your eBook cover will be ready on in two steps. Give me comments about this post.
