Hello manu,
Thank you for your business with MyPublisher!
Unfortunately, there's not a way to edit your images to combine them into one, single .jpg file to place on your Cover, within our software.
While you don't necessarily have to use Photoshop software to do this though, you will need to have access to some other type of photo editing software, to be able to do this successfully.
Here are some tips which will help to ensure that your images meet our standards, and provide optimal quality of the images, in the printed books you receive from us:
--- IMAGE SIZES ---------------------------------
Deluxe Hardcover
15.08" wide by 11.58" inches high at 300dpi (4524 x 3474 pixels)
Classic Hardcover
11.08" wide by 8.58 " inches high at 300dpi (3324 x 2574 pixels)
Paperback PocketBooks
7.83 " wide by 5.83" inches high at 300dpi (2349 x 1749 pixels)
--- COLOR SETTINGS ---------------------------
~ Use sRGB or RGB when enhancing photos – no CMYK.
~ Use sRGB or RGB for black and white photos – no Grayscale.
~ Remove any vectors, slices or layers from your images.
~ MyPublisher does not currently provide ICC profiles for our output devices
--- BLEED / GUTTER ----------------------------
IMPORTANT: Please allow 1/8 inch gutter around all sides of your jpeg image to allow for potential cropping in the printing process. Without this allowance, any text or image placed at the edges of the jpeg may be croppped when the book is printed.
--- FILE FORMAT ---------------------------------
Your images must be saved as JPEG files (file ends in .jpg or .jpeg) at the maximum quality setting.
------------------------------------------------------
Once you've created your images using a third party image editor, you can then use the Get Photos mode to bring them into the MyPublisher app. Then while in Make Book mode, you can select a '1 Photo' page type from the page menu for each page on which you'd like to place a custom image.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To achieve accurate placement with minimal cropping of a custom image, you'll need to choose a full bleed '1 Photo' page layout WITH CAPTIONS from the left column of the 'Page Layout' palette. The caption boxes will not show in the printed book when left empty, and these layouts offer better placement of custom full bleed images.
We appreciate your understanding, and again, thanks for choosing MyPublisher.
