First, open a Photoshop stand-alone file-create a new 2 10*280 document (the cover size of vertical and horizontal novels), and use the selection tool to move the selected original image into the document. Adjust the appropriate size and position. Here, you should consider where the title of your novel cover should be placed. If it is on the edge, choose a relatively empty place on the edge. If it is below, select the blank space below and adjust it according to your own preferences.
Good-looking original pictures are not the most important, but the title and signature are the most important parts of the novel cover!
Highlight the title of the book, and you can choose a thicker font to express it. It can also be expressed in calligraphy font. What I use here is standing cool and high-end black. If it is not thick enough, it can be thickened. If you want something different, you can put some graphics on this font to make it look cooler. You can brush some brushes under the font to make it stand out and add some font effects ~
Adjust the color scale of the original picture to make the title and picture more harmonious. Add the introduction of the book and the author's name to the cover of a novel, and it will be born soon!
