Cover Factory is another entry into this market. Some of the ways it tries to differentiate itself include very aggressive pricing. Currently, Cover Factory is only $39.95 which puts it well within the average person's grasp.

 

 

Cover Factory enables you to render your choice of product shots using a fairly standard wizard approach: it guides you through the process, allowing you to click on options to further customize the look and feel of the final image.

 

Now when you visit the Cover Factory web site, they have a gallery of sample images. At first glance you may not find them either impressive or appealing because they are a) low resolution samples and b) not created by a professional artist. But don't let the web site fool you into thinking that the software is either low-powered or poorly designed. I have no doubt that with a little creativity and by using the high-resolution option that you can and will create remarkably good images.

 

Cover Factory includes an integrated graphics editing program allowing you to draw shapes, add gradients and textures, redo/undo, rotate/align, different types of binding and positioning of objects, shadow and lighting, reflections, variable observer positions, and much, much more. This is a very full-featured and powerful tool, and is easily comparable to most of its competitors products.

 

Cover Factory also offers a free trial of the software, so you can put it to the test prior to making your purchase; most of its competitors do not offer this option, so you know the developer is willing to stand behind his work. Additionally, registered users can gain access to a library of 200+ additional images and their discussion board. All in all, Cover Factory is worth a look. You can learn more here.
