There are many Photoshop actions to choose from when you are
looking for a way to create a virtual product shot like an ebook cover or
marketing report or software box. Usually these actions look very similar as
you compare available graphic tools, but one of these action collections truly
stands out from the competition: Mark Monciardini's Cover
Action Pro.
What makes Mark's actions better than the rest are a
combination of two things: his artistic interpretations of what objects should
look like in real life and the fact that his actions produce high definition
300dpi graphics. These two critical differences produce more realistic looking
end products.
The sample image above looks like a photograph of a real
magazine when in fact it is an artist's reproduction. Notice the realistic
perspective, lighting and shadowing of the image, and the clarity. It looks
like the magazine was just being thrown onto a coffee table. This is the magic
of Cover
Action Pro. You can even combine images to present a more complex
product like a home study course.
Now not everyone is going to get the same looking results. You
need to be able to design a realistic looking 2D magazine cover before you can
get this level of professionalism and realism. However, Mark makes it easier
for you to get started by providing a collection of professionally designed
templates. All you need to do is add your own text, change the colors and
click a button to create your finished product.
Additionally, Mark includes a sixty-minute video showing you
exactly how to use his product to create professionally designed covers. It's
like having Mark take you by the hand and give you professional design
lessons. This is worth its weight in gold.
You may remember Mark also has a great collection called 101
Photoshop Videos which teaches you how to get up to speed quickly and
easily with Photoshop. Combining these two products would give virtually any
online marketer a very strong and powerful competitive edge indeed. For more
