Great video! Thanks so much for the information. I am considering using a Canva free element (gift box) on the cover of my book. It would be this one element in addition to other illustrations (from an artist - non Canva). I've altered the image by adding some highlights, drawing some additional outlines, adding some shading. Would you think that using just one element would be acceptable, or do I need to add another element or alter the image even more? Sorry for the long question. Thanks so much!

Oh I got your email and replied there, but the way I would personally do it is with Photoshop Actions (run a resize action on all images). I never resize anything in Procreate because (unfortunately) Procreate is horrible at resizing, things always end up blurry. Photoshop is the way to go for resizing.

@HeatherCashArt 10 күн бұрын
Hi! My final page size (aka trim size) is 8.25x8.25. So the dimensions of each page as files will be 8.5 high by 8.365 wide to account for bleed. You can see an explanation in the previous video of this series (page layout in Photoshop) and you can also check out my video "what is bleed?" The front and back cover are not pages. They will be a separate PDF. Check out the video from this same series where I walk you through creating the cover. 🙂

So no matter how many times I refreshed the page after flattening the PDF, it only worked when I opened a new tab completely.
