And I'm not really artsy so I like the simplicity of all this.Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519707999869890019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17595589.post-64072328558790387152012-02-12T21:57:11.371-06:002012-02-12T21:57:11.371-06:00Lyn, I'm glad to hear my covers look professio...Lyn, I'm glad to hear my covers look professional. My workflow is similar to yours, except I use Scribus (open source, free, for Linux, but I think there are Win and/or Mac versions too) for layout. I have a template cover, import an image and enter the title, and then export to jpeg and upload.<br /><br />For cover imagery, I've used bigstockphoto.com and dreamstime.com (about $5-10 for one royalty-free image), Wikimedia Commons, and my or my wife's camera. Sf writers have a very good royalty-free image source: NASA. (the US government does not enforce its copyrights in work done by any of its agencies).Raymund Eichhttp://raymundeich.comnoreply@blogger.com
