Here is a short video demonstrating how you should download and unzip the project file I’ve sent you, preserving the directory structure.
Please excuse the lack of audio but I think the video is quite self-explanatory.
If there is anything else I can help, just let me know.

BlogTalkRadio Made Easy
Mary Louise of BlogTalkRadioMadeEasy.com asked us to review her cover.
So, here we go:
1. the colors used are OK – blue gives an air of seriousness while orange makes the product seem affordable.
2. the background image is not so clear, but I would have used something radio related (waves/antenaes, etc.)
3. the fonts, are a little too much
4. the URL should be spelled without the spaces
5. The statement font is a little to small, and the statement on the long side – you should keep it shorter and increase the font size to make it more readable.
These are just a few points that, if changed will increase your sales!
Warm regards,

Here are the steps you need to take in order to start creating your own software boxes:

If you don’t have Adobe Photoshop on your computer, download the CS4 trial version (works for 30 days) from here.
2. Create the following folder on your hard disk:
3. Download and install the action script from here
(if you have already installed Photoshop, installing the action is a simple matter of dragging the file over the Photoshop window, or a double click on the action file in Windows Explorer)
In the Actions palette you should have a new folder called Software Box(1)
4. Select Step 1 and click on Play(>). This will create the flat layout of your box with distinctive front side, top flap and left flap.
5. Finalize your box design and click on Step 2 – Play
6. Add/remove shadow/reflection and then click on Step 3 – Play to save the software box (you will find the images in c:\AbsoluteCovers.com\output folder)
