How do I create a transparent background? I want to use my final eBook covers on my website! I don't want a white bounding box behind my eBook covers.
|
 |
To create a transparency, first create your eBook covers over the same color background that you'll have on your website. You can change the eBook covers's background color by selecting the "Set Canvas Color" under the MODIFY menu.
Create your eBook covers, and then choose the "Custom Export" menu option (under the EXPORT menu).
Select the transparent GIF option. When you push this button, your cursor will turn into an eye dropper. Move it over your eBook covers's background and select the background color.
When you hit the big Export button, you're eBook covers will be saved as a transparent Gif (no white bounding box!)

How can I export my eBook covers in a higher "DPI"?
I want to export it as a 300 dpi TIF.
|
|
If you're using the new v3.5 - you can set the resolution directly.
Under the EXPORT menu, you'll see "set export resolution". Change the DPI here.

I've just tried to save my eBook covers as a .gif! I'm getting a "TLC" file format that my browser can't read!

Don't get confused with "save" and "export". They're different.
If you "Save" a eBook covers, you save it as a '.tlc' document. This is different than "Exporting" the eBook covers as a jpeg or a gif.
Saving allows you to re-modify the eBook covers later. You can bring in a saved eBook covers by using the "Open" menu option. Exporting will basically take a screen shot of your finished piece and export it as a picture... a non editable image. You can export using the "Export" pull down menu. |

I've just exported my new eBook covers as a 300 dpi TIF image. From my desktop, I double clicked the new TIF image to see what it looks like ... but it looks VERY pixilated! What gives? I thought this was a high rez file?

The eCover Creator has output the file as a 300dpi image. Now, you need a program that can handle the DPI information. Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro and Fireworks will view and print the image just fine. The image will look smaller than what you see on The eCover Creator's canvas, but it will print sharp and clear.
If you have a program that is printing your high rez image large and grainy... try selecting "page setup" and set the "scale" or "percentage" to 25%. This will print the image smaller, but crisp and clear.
You can also print the eBook covers directly from The eCover Creator. |

This software seems great for website design. But if one of my clients asks me to create a eBook covers for their company. ... this may include letterhead, envelopes, business cards. etc. Will this program help me to create company eBook covers for use on stationary and the like?

The eCover Creator will output most any format that your local print shop can handle. You can create your eBook covers, and simply export it as a high resolution TIF image (or any one of the other formats). Your print shop will use it to create your new business card. |
