   Sounds like a great script, however, I’m having problems.
   I am using photoshop 7 and get the following error message:
   “Could not complete the command because of a program error”

   Perhaps I need a later version of photoshop? Any ideas?

4. Minty Ferret on February 14th, 2008 at 8:42 pm

   Hi Peter – I’ve only heard of that happening to one other person and I’m still not entirely sure why that message pops up. It might be because you’re using an older version of Photoshop yes (to my knowledge this should work with CS3 and CS2, not sure about others). Also it might be because there isn’t enough memory in Photoshop to run the script (since it’s a large file). Try running the template file, then changing the image size by lowering the DPI (not the pixels). Then try running the eBook file again.

   Let me know if any of those work!

   hi iam having same problem do u have another version i use photoshop 7

6. Minty Ferret on February 16th, 2008 at 6:10 pm

   It sounds like the problem is Photoshop 7. Unfortunately I only have CS3 so I can’t make an action compatible with the earlier version. Sorry about this!

   excellent action… takes seconds what took hours…

8. Peter on February 21st, 2008 at 3:42 am

   Yep I’m thinking it’s a photoshop 7 issue.

   It fails very early – the dpi is 72 and lowering from there does solve.

   Guess it’s time to upgrade!
   thanks for your help,
   Peter

    BRILLIANT! Simply Brilliant! Thank you for creating this ONLY ebook cover tutorial that has helped me out. I’ve blogged about this on mine. BRILLIANT!

15. Mario on May 14th, 2008 at 7:07 am

    Awesome script. Do you have a similar script to design a cd box with CD jutting out from it? Would be fabulous for adding to ebay listings.
    Thanks.

    AMAZING!!

    THANK YOU!!

    you’re the best

17. Kristin on May 21st, 2008 at 2:35 am

    That is absolutely terrific! I’m wanting to publish my first e-book by the end of next month, so I’m looking into all these overwhelming little details. I don’t have Photoshop; but if someone wants to send me a quote (through my website), I’d be glad to hire out that task! Thanks for sharing your wisdom & expertise!

18. Deeahn Johnson on May 30th, 2008 at 1:13 pm

    I downloaded the action and followed the instructions. I wasn’t sure it would work because I ended up with lots of extra layers in Photoshop, but it worked beautifully. I saved $40 on software, AND was able to design my cover using one of my own pictures. I can’t thank you enough!

19. tahape on June 13th, 2008 at 9:52 am

    Thank you for this great software.

    Even it is FREE, but it works.

    Great action script. Your tutorial was also very helpful. I created a cover for one of my e-books in minutes after downloading it. Good work man. Keep it up.

30. Iklan Malaysia on December 18th, 2008 at 7:34 am

    You mentioned that we csn use them with photoshop software. Any disadvantages when using them with the free photoshop software?
    There are many new comers and students trying free things nowadays. Good that you have some kind of FAQs here.

32. Lisa on February 13th, 2009 at 1:24 pm

    This worked great on my CS3, but I am a total newbie with photoshop and wondered if anyone can tell me how I can do the following:

    I want to use an image I have on file for the cover. How do I open up the image to use with this template?

    I have fiddled around and tried to find out by using the ‘help’ but either my peepers are not working properly or I’m brain dead (most likely a bit of both to be honest).

    Thank you. I think you are great for making this available!

36. Rob Nelson on April 2nd, 2009 at 5:47 am

    Thanks ever so much. I appreciate your generosity and creativity. I’ve been using photoshop for a few years and didn’t even know about actions. Oops!
    Your program worked beautifully. Perhaps you could put a paypal button somewhere for folks to donate to you?

    Fantastic! I always build my ebook cover by hand – will certainly be using this from now on! Stumbled and tweeted.

    It really really really helps. Thanks! I’ll subscribe for your posts.

    Thank You and Love you so much!
    I was sad that I couldn’t create covers for my ebooks and I don’t have bucks to invest in a cover creator software. It might be just 25$, but for an Indian, it’s a huge sum! Thank you so much! You saved my time and money.

    Come up with ideas like more this and God will bless you for that! My suggestion would be to create another cover generator that can develop box shaped Software packs with a CD resting on the box, another lying on the table, just like how people do it for promoting their products on the Clickbank etc. I’m developing some template designs and I want to create a package like that…

    Once again, a heart full of thanks. I feel glad that I ‘stumbled’ into this website. Subscribing it right away.

    P.S.: There is no problem if I use the cover to promote my ebook right? Or is it restricted to Personal/Private use?
