These actions look terrific! All the marketing actions I've seen available on the internet can't even come close to matching the detail of your work.
The best part is, we all get to reap the benefits of your talent.
You are awesome. Keep up the great work!!

Hi Mark
Awesome work as usual, really looking forward to the final draft.
Did you get anywhere with producing a "Vista" style box?
Best wishes

Hey Mark,
Your stuff rocks! This is a resource people should and MUST know about it if they plan on selling any kind of information product or service.
CAP 1.0 has saved me sooo much time and yet my clients are always asking me "who does your graphics man?"
hehe ;-)
It'll be our little secret ok?

Mark,
These actions look AWESOME! My clients already love me when I do a cover for them using the "old" CoverAction Pro actions! I know that these new ones will kick-it-up another level!
Hi, Cant wait for the new version.... How long will we have to wait... I would like it now as it looks fantastic....When is it being released?... One thing I would like to see is an action for a binder....Hope that is in the set.... Cheers Tony

The samples look great and I'm looking forward to the new capabilities.
I would like to pass along some ideas that address some of the frustrations I have with the current cover actions. The actions do a great job, but I have found them to be not quite flexible enough for some of my situations.
I am often trying to match a look online to what the content would look like in a real physical book. Sometimes that is because I have a product that is available in the physical world and the quality of a generated representation is better than taking a photo of the actual product. And sometimes it's only an e-book but I want it to represent the heft of the actual content. For example, I wouldn't use the thick hardcover book image to represent an e-book that's really only pamphlet length.
Here are some examples:
1. You have a standing spiral book. I have some books that I actually sell as physical spiral books. Some of them are quite thick but some of them are rather thin. There is currently no way to match that look and accurately represent the amount of content provided.
2. You also have a standing hardcover and paperback book. So I've designed product Web pages that fit the standing book format. But then I need to do an image of a thin, perfect-bound paperback book. The only choice is to use the ezine format or the image will misrepresent the content by looking too thick. But that doesn't fit in my page template because the laying down style is so much wider.
3. I needed to represent some video content for a client so I used the DVD case action. The client didn't like the case being open but there was no other option.
4. I've combined a few of images together and found that some of the shadows are at different angles. For example, the spiral book and the DVD case.
So, if I could have the ideal actions, they would:
1. Allow changing the thickness of each book, or at least have enough varieties of thicknesses within each book type to accurately represent different lengths of content.
2. Have variations of each product type to be standing or laying down.
3. Have variations on the CD and DVD cases to be either open or closed, upright or laying down.
Thanks for listening. I'd be happy to clarify further if needed. I'd also be happy to do test work on new actions if that's of help.

Great stuff man. Will CAP 2.0 include only e-covers or will we get some cool text effect actions (and maybe some header stuff) as bonuses?
:)
Ok, just dreaming a bit.
Great work... look forward to seeing CAP 2.0

Hi Mark,
I am a big fan of CAP-1, but don't know enough about CAP-2 to rave about it just yet. Do you have more information other than this teaser? Can't wait to see more.... P.S. Other than the Bible cover shown on this blog what other new types of covers can we expect??? How about a 3 ring binder?
Thanks, Robert

Hey Mark-
How do you expect us to give you ideas, when you're so ahead of the game, that you leave all of us in the dust?? lol.. Nah, those graphics look sweet!! And to have over 100 actions! Sweet!! Man I can't wait till you drop this thing. Put me on your priority list quick..
I use your ecover actions to create packshots for all my infoproducts (without exception). I also used it for the shot of my book on www.UltimateWebStrategy.com -- in fact I used your book action instead of taking a photo of the real thing (paperback book) simply because of the exceptional quality.
Can't wait for the new ones!

Everything looks great, as ever. Keep it real. Reflections and 3D are great but organic is best. The open book graphic is easily the best demo here. Stuff that people could touch - now we're talking. Can't wait to see the finished product. Discount for existing customers ;-)

Hi Mark These look great - will they be good for using in print as well?
I have not used any cover actions myself in the past so have no idea if they are only set for 72dpi rather than much higher for printing offline literature etc.
Hopefully they are high res :O)

Your work is excellent. I would however like some more 'serious' templates. Many are too jaunty and 'fun' for my serious-toned product. The DVD case from CAP 1 for instance - I would prefer it more square and upstanding. There is an air of cheapness about much Internet marketing and I need any graphics I use to be a million miles from that.

Aaaaaw ... when you said "I have an announcement", I thought you were getting engaged or married...

More power to you, Mark. I look forward to buying CAP2 and hope you're going to give existing customers a sizable loyalty discount.

Good morning Mark,
We of course have Cover Action Pro and think it's great. We will of course pick up the upgrade when it's available.
What interests me far more, is the fact that you are a marketing genius.
I would invest a little money just to learn from you....
