Creating a cover for CafePress

Here's an excellent question I recently received about submitting in CafePress:


Q:

I am producing a book on cafepress.com. I need to upload the cover in three separate files for these images, font spine and back Can this be done with bookcoverpro?

A:

BookCoverPro is set up to create a cover spread by default, however it works great for designing separate files as well. This can be accomplished by creating three separate documents in BookCoverPro; for example, if you have a 5x8 paperback, create your front cover as a 5 x 8 with an appropriate trim area, and for the spine, type in 0 (zero). Once completed, you would save your file, then generate it in PNG, JPEG, TIF, (or PDF). I would suggest PNG for CafePress as it will be the best quality. Then you would do the same for the back cover. For the spine, you would create a document with the actual width and length, and type in 0 again in the spine selection; that should work very well.http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif
