@RetiringEarlyClub Glad it helped. Good luck! Can't seem to post the website here, might be some block by youtube. So I'll have to break it up for you - start with all the w's then ebooktemplatesource

@RetiringEarlyClub then the usual dot com followed immediately by /free-ebook-covers.html

When he saves the cover psd then what does he do? I got lost there. He went down on the bottom and pulled up a template or something then made another layer.

@shelly9782 Yes the template website is still there, just checked.

Is there sound?

can't get any sound...

@shelly9782 Sorry shelly, that was a bit confusing. What happened there was I opened a file called cover.psd which I had already downloaded from the site mentioned at the start. The image I was working on then was copied and pasted on top of the cover.psd template. I'm not sure if the site with the templates is still available it's so long since I did any of this!
