My husband and I are both authors and also make our own covers. I help with my husbands covers too.

He usually picks a cover image and then I transform it into the right size and adjust text and whatever else might be needed.

I enjoy tweeking, and have a ton of patience for such things. However, lagging is aweful. 😫

We're almost done with an updated cover and title to one of my husbands books. It's epic looking! 😀
