CoverAction Pro Review
The importance of good graphics.
If you sell information products on the Internet you know the importance of good product images. Since many info products are digital downloads, the use of product images makes them seem ‘real’ and that’s reassuring to potential buyers deciding whether to part with their money.
For more info on just how important this is, read my article Seven Ways To Profit With Professional eBook Design.
DIY design used to be a disaster.
Many info-product producers put huge effort into authoring their product and then shoot themselves in the foot! They cut corners with the presentation and then wonder why their product doesn’t sell.
In the past I used to tell authors to bite the bullet and pay a pro to design their product images. The cover software available then was primitive and the quality of templates (if they were supplied) was unimpressive. The graphics these programs produced looked cheap and nasty.
Not any more!
With the arrival of CoverAction Pro that’s all changed. Now, if you want to produce your own 3D ebook cover images, CoverAction Pro will help you do the job quickly and professionally. In fact, it’s the best software of its kind that I’ve seen.
Why CoverAction Pro is the best:
The developer, Mark Monciardini, is a graphic designer. That means he knows exactly what features and functions are needed to make this product work for you.
A lot of thought and care has gone into the creation of CoverAction Pro and it’s been designed so that it’s easy to use regardless of your level of design skill. It’s also backed up with full documentation, training material and support resources and a money-back guarantee.

How CoverAction Pro works:
Like all good products, CoverAction Pro is based on a simple concept that’s well executed. CoverAction Pro contains two elements – Templates and Actions. Templates help you format your design, Actions turn your design into a finished high-resolution 3D image.
The process is straightforward. You load the CoverAction Pro files into Photoshop and play Step 1 which loads your choice of template. You modify the template (insert your text, images, change color scheme and fonts, etc) to suit your product – ebook cover, software box, report folder or whatever – in 2 dimensions. When it’s just the way you want it you run Step 2 and CoverAction Pro’s automated script renders it as a high-res three-dimensional image, ready for your web page or your printer.
The Templates:
CoverAction Pro comes with a full range of templates – hardback books, report covers, binders, cd-rom labels and jewel cases, big and small boxes, credit cars – in fact, all the images an internet marketer would wish for. The templates are Photoshop PSD files which can easily be adapted to make your own custom templates, if you wish.
One excellent feature of CoverAction Pro templates is that they’re hi-res 300 dpi graphics. Not only do you get sharp images for your web page, you can also give them to your printer for ‘hard-copy’ products like report covers and CD case inserts.
You can see the range of templates here.
The Actions:
Photoshop has a built-in automation feature that the CoverAction Pro Actions plug in to. With the press of a button the Actions resize and reconfigure the parts of your design – top, cover, spine, etc – to make the finished 3D image. Like the templates, the Actions can be edited for custom adaption, if you wish. This flexibility means that with CoverAction Pro you’re not locked in to a rigid set of formats.
Works on any computer.
CoverAction Pro is cross-platform. Doesn’t matter if you use a PC or a Mac, CoverAction Pro will run on your machine. Most ebook cover software used to be PC-only but as more people are using Macs it’s nice to find a program that is 100% compatible.
CoverAction Pro does require Photoshop 7, CS, CS2 or CS3 but if you’re serious about doing your own graphics, you’ll either already have it, or will be prepared to get it. If you already use Photoshop you’ll feel right at home with CoverAction Pro.
100% Money-back Guarantee
In line with his thoroughness in designing CoverAction Pro, Mark offers a 100% 30-day money-back guarantee. If you’re thinking about doing your own marketing graphics then CoverAction Pro is the product for you.
My recommendation:
As a professionally trained graphic designer with many years experience I can tell you that CoverAction Pro is, in my opinion, the best piece of software out there for producing high-quality marketing graphics quickly and easily.
I wish it had been around fifteen years ago when I first started designing ebook covers and web graphics – it would have saved me a lot of time and effort.
CoverAction Pro works brilliantly straight out of the box. I recommend it to you.
