Photoshop

I've been looking for a cheap Photoshop program so I can make my own book covers and thanks to help from @DaddyEvil I was able to find the perfect program for me, available on Wattpad where I am currently posting my newest book - Uncertain Future. This morning I signed up for it, and got the picture above set for my book. The program is called Adobe Spark. It's free. My notifications are caught up, so I thought I would work on Uncertain Future for a little while and perhaps get Chapter 4 posted to Wattpad. How is your day going? Find anything new and interesting to help your life out? Thanks for reading.

Great to find a freebie. I bet it will be fun finding the book covers for your books.

@celticeagle Yes, it is. I made another cover this morning for the next book I want to publish. It's one I've used on here for it, and this morning, I made it into an actual book cover.

I found out about it from @DaddyEvil. Wattpad is a place where you can post your books to get reviews on them. I really like it because the comments I've been given really help. Wattpad uses Adobe Spark to make book covers. And it's free.

It's early Tuesday morning here and I woke up too early, before 6am and decided to mylot. Before going to bed I was browsing some diamond jewelries. Recently, I find diamonds to be really interesting and planning to invest in some diamond jewelries. @DaddyEvil always saves the day.

@just4him Yeah that's why I don't think I'd be wasting my money on them. I just bought a set of earrings and necklace last night.

Can you use Adobe Spark on your computer or it only works being online? I am going to have a look at this app.

@just4him Wow! Thank goodness you learned about this. I had no idea how costly those book covers could be. This photo is just magical and the essence of Central Park and Park Avenue. I will think of you every time we walk or drive by that area.

@DianneN Thank you. I was surprised at how much it costs as well. I ran into a problem with the cover for Freedom's Cry and had to ask the person who did it for me for help fixing it. My name was too near the bottom, it was cut off and the title too near the top. It should be an easy fix. When she e-mailed me back this morning, she said there wouldn't be any charge, since I already paid for the cover.

Thank you so much. When I saw that picture on Pixabay, I knew it was the perfect picture for the book. Then @DaddyEvil told me about a site that is free for making book covers, so now I have my book cover. I also made another one for the book I'm going to publish next. This makes it so much easier than having to find someone else to do my covers for me and charge me an arm and a leg for them. I was reading online about cost and it could run up to $1000 for a cover. I don't have that lying around anywhere.

That's a very nice picture. I'll look up the program. Nothing special happening. Went with my better half for a doctors appointment, ate out grocery shopped a little. I did vacuum and clean up a bit. Your day sounds fine.

@RubyHawk I got the living room vacuumed before I left for the pool this morning. I was going to finish after I got home from doing laundry, but it was a bit late for that. I'll do it tomorrow.

Valerie, I never heard of Adobe Spark, I hope it works out for you. I have Photoshop and right now it is screwed up and will get fixed when my technician comes. I feel bad while watching TV I got a phone call from someone that I forgot to go there yesterday and completely forgot about it and feel terrible. I don't recall forgetting appointments before. It is our holiday so I am not paying attention and resting because I hurt my back. I rescheduled but she did not forgive me. I will have to apologize again when I go next week. She did not react when I explained that I hurt my back.

@Hannihar I've only perused photoshop a time or two, so I don't know if it has the same features.

@just4him Valerie, I cannot blame her because it is still our holiday and the intermediate days. Maybe she came in special or maybe she did not want to be at work at all. You never know. I will have to apologize again when I go. That is usually not like me, but, I hurt my back and wanted to just rest and not use my scooter at all. I screw up at times and do feel bad that I completely forgot. When I do not check my diary I just ignore it. I am glad you like it. So, does it have the same features as photoshop? I think I will ask my technician about it as maybe a back up. Thanks for telling us about it Valerie. You are a nice woman.

Yes, before it was only a picture I found on Pixabay and hoped I'd be able to use it as the cover for the book. Now that I've made it into the cover, I'm more than happy. I've also done one more cover today for the next book I'm going to publish.
