Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Can someone please provide tips on how to create a book cover using a standard point and shoot camera? (in conjunction with the relevant book of course)

e.g. what size/format/other should the final image be, what software to use to convert it to such, etc

Thanks!

I'd also very much appreciate some learned info on this black art please.

I've taken a .ctg file (Canon) into MS Paint to produce a final image 372 (w) x 522 (h) pixels, with a resolution of 180 dpi; however when I upload it to the edition record the image dispalys rotated through 90 degrees.

Cheers

I actually moved recently to use an antique scanner someone gave me (11 years old I think) and it works beautifully.

I just take the photo, upload to my computer and upload to GR never had any sizing problems
