Don’t pay almost $200 for Paint Shop Pro when you can
download PhotoPlus for Free. It’s a fully working copy.
Beware though. In 30 days it requires a registration code.
When you call the 800 number to get it, the sales people
go for the upsells. If that doesn’t bother you, and you
listen to their spill, they will give you the key and it’s
free to use forever. It’s awesome.

Using PhotoPlus…
you can design the square covers, for example, of a software
box. Then make a rectangle spine for the box. Add graphics and
text, then put it all together using Scott’s Box Shot Maker.

Scott’s Box Shot Maker is also free. If you click on the view
samples within the software you can see some good examples. You can
copy the dimensions from these to get the idea of how to size
your graphics.
