Hi everyone,
My wife is the author (working on 2nd book) and she asked if I would be interested in designing the cover for the book she is working on. She is on the last chapter so I need to get going. I wanted to use Photoshop because it merges images so well, but along with best performance comes high price. I am on a tight budget so I thought I would go with program that was suggested (Gimp) because it comes as a free alternative. I checked out a couple tutorials of Gimp and it does seem to come a little short when it comes to merging images. I have worked with Photoshop in the past, but I gave it up when I put my Win XP PC to sleep about 5 years ago. Would appreciate if anyone could possibly suggest maybe a little less expensive version of Photoshop or something close with Imaging. I am now using Win 8.1 if that will have any impact on what I can use. Thank you for your help.
