So...I spend all weekend getting ready to submit The Vanishing of Owen Taylor to Ingram to be published...and just as I'm loading it up...I find I misspelled the photographer's name. The man who's letting me use his work. NOT cool.
Thing is, I can't do anything about it, tonight. I'll have to wait till I'm at the office, tomorrow, and re-save the Word docs as PDFs once I've corrected that. Sooooooo irritating.
Here's how the cover finally wound up. I wasn't having much luck with the red when I shifted from RGB to CMYK -- it kept going orange until I removed a mask on the lettering. Still not great, so I went into heighten the red hues. It's better, but when I submit I'm going to ask if they can do anything about that. I want it red, not sort-of-kind-of reddish.
I guess if I'm going to be doing this, I'll need to upgrade my Photoshop and look into other formats to do the publishing text in. And get a better website. Meaning, I'll also need to upgrade my computer...or maybe get a tablet. I dunno. I better find out how much this book is costing, once it's done.
Self-publishing is such a pain...
