I have two questions...

1) I am trying to design a book cover. Does anyone know of any templates (.psd) for book covers? Various sizes

2) While looking for templates for book covers, I ran across this site - http://www.coveractionpro.com/ . If the link it blocked, this site is selling a ps action which takes your designed image, and basically transforms it into a 3d box on a reflective surface. My question. Does anyone have a link for a similiar action? I am sure with all the ps tuts out there, there has to be something close; if not better.

I'm sure I have seen box effect actions around, probably on adobe studio exchange (free to join, you have to give an e.mail but I have never had any junk mail from them)
Another option is to make one your self, just use the free transform tool to warp the shape into a book shape (heres a quick one to show the idea) Wayne

Doesn't PS have a 3d plugin that comes with but isn't loaded with PS? I thought I saw a book in it..
I'll look and see.

The 3d plugin didn't help. I couldn't find the action either..but I have seen an action where you simply place the cover and the binding in place and it makes the book or box? Now I'm not sure...can't find it anyway.

But following Waynes instructions...
W. Clarke book of "TIPS" on Amazon for $55.00

I just wish that I could find an action on a site somewhere. I am sure someone has one because I found another site with a similiar action - http://www.1clickcovers.com/
