She wants to use this picture but wants to turn the sun into a more subtle magical like feel. Is there anyone out there that would be able to help her? This is a small version of the file she will need to use but if any of you think you would be able to help then I will e-mail you the full size image.

Could you explain a little more what you're looking for with the picture? More sun? Less sun? Different hue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what my wife did for the first book cover and this time what ever it is, to make the sun look 'magical'. http://shoooonya.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/book-review-spellweaver-book-1-of.html If you have some artistic skills explore and design something that might be able to be used.

She wants the sun to look more evil, an evil dark energy coming from it or a black halo, something to make the sun look evil, dark magic emanating from the core or something. hope this gives some ideas.

I have a cousin that wrote a children's book and she had to have original artwork like crayon drawings because they would have to pay a sum to Adobe if they used Ptotoshop which I think is fing mad. That would be like me buying a car but if I use it for work I have to pay double the value. Are you running into this or is this just a Texas things?

Using the program itself has never been an issue no. Every designer I know uses Adobe products and no one pays Adobe other than for the program itself. Maybe your cousin was confusing something? The copyright stuff can get confusing if you are trying to do things yourself. I know a lot about it and I have never heard of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She claimed it was a publishing specif thing. Sounded like she knew what she was talking about but we know how that goes at times. hahaha For years Photoshop has been king. Wish I knew 1/4 of the power. Arrienn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
