Default Will Microsoft PhotoDraw Work for Creating Ebook Covers?

Hello,

I created my first ebook cover... I think. :-)

I used Microsoft PhotoDraw, and I was able to create the look I was after.

But, I don't know if this will actually work as an ebook cover. ???

Every idea, thought, and suggestion will be greatly appreciated!

As Always,
Thanks for your assistance in advance,

Diane Everroad

I'm not familiar with Microsoft PhotoDraw, but if you can save your pictures as JPEG or GIF files, you should be alright.

What format are you using for your ebook? Are you using PDF, or some other format?

If you are using PDF, there is no trouble in putting JPEG and GIF files in your ebook, or on the first page (the "cover").... :)

Sounds like great things are happening, Diane! Let us know what happens.... :)

Hi Dien,

Thanks for your help!

> I'm not familiar with Microsoft PhotoDraw...

Microsoft PhotoDraw came installed on my new Dell.
I liked the way I was able to create my cover page... I just hope I can use it! :-)

That's my project for today.

From my research, it seems most people prefer Acr. Adobe 4.0. So, that is what I will use.
Wish me luck. :-)

Right now, we are doing the final editing on Jim's latest project. It is an EXCELLENT aerobic exercise program.

No trouble? How sweet those 2 words sound! :-)

Thank you Dien. Yes, our web business is getting quite exciting! Our workload has grown to the point where I am seriously considering taking on a college intern.

I will be happy to keep you updated ... but, I may be slow in doing so.

Thanks again Dien,
Diane
