Question 1

Can I use free Photoshop templates for commercial book or album releases?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but always check the license. Some free PSD templates are for personal use only. For commercial projects, make sure the template allows it—or invest in premium assets from platforms like Pixflow, Adobe Stock, or Creative Market.

Question 2

What size should a book cover be in Photoshop?

Accepted Answer

For print, a common size is 6 x 9 at 300 DPI (1800 x 2700 px). For eBooks, dimensions vary depending on the platform, but a 1.6:1 ratio (e.g., 1600 x 2560 px) is widely accepted. Always design in high resolution and include bleed margins.

Question 3

What’s the ideal resolution and format for album art?

Accepted Answer

Most digital platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud require square images at a minimum of 3000 x 3000 px and 300 DPI. Export as JPG or PNG in RGB mode for web, and use PSD or TIFF in CMYK for print.

Question 4

How do I customize a PSD template if I’m a Photoshop beginner?

Accepted Answer

Start by opening the file and locating smart objects or labeled layers. You can double-click to replace images, use the Type Tool (T) to edit text, and apply color adjustments using adjustment layers. Many templates include help files or video walkthroughs.
