THE SELECTED ARTIST MUST HAVE DEEP EXPERIENCE PRODUCING BOOK COVERS. I already have my book’s front cover, but it still carries some tell-tale AI artifacts. The first task is to retouch the artwork (I can point out a couple obvious issues). While you’re in there, please adjust the tiki statue’s eyes to make the gaze ever so slightly suggest that the statue notices the young man who has appeared below (not a full glance down, only a slight almost unnoticeable shift). Do not use AI for this, it tends to create other issues that I don't have time to find and fix. Once the art is clean, I’ll need the standalone front cover exported at 600 DPI in JPEG, PNG, PDF, and an editable Illustrator vector so I can reuse it across storefronts and social media without loss of quality. The second phase is the paperback wrap. Using the same cleaned image, extend the canvas to include a spine and back cover for a 5.5" by 8.5" paperback (portrait). The background will be the same as the front cover, but without the two main figures and darkened a bit (I'd like to keep the lit torch, but not if it's going to disrupt any white text placed over it). I’ll provide the back-cover copy and one image and all placement details. On the spine, stack the title and my name centered when the spine is viewed horizontally. Then viewing the spine vertically as if it's standing on a bookshelf, position a small version of my tiki statue at the very top, and finish with “Castaway Press” at the bottom (two rows). Place a little bamboo divider below the tiki and above the "Castaway Press" (I will try to provide a mock-up). Color palette, typography, and alignment should all feel seamless with the front. Final deliverables: • Retouched front cover in JPEG, PNG, PDF, and AI/Illustrator (600 DPI). • Print-ready full jacket in JPEG, PNG, PDF, and AI/Illustrator (600 DPI), with 0.125" bleed. Print files must pass KDP’s pre-press check and, above all, look unmistakably professional - no AI giveaways. I've attached the current front cover, and will send the selected artist all the source files as well as mock-ups of the spine and back cover, plus clean text and one new image (just for placement, no re-work needed). I have set a low price on this, but intend to tip at the end for a strong outcome. Do not respond with a low price, expecting to negotiate.

Hi there I have read and understood your project details for your book cover retouching and paperback wrap production, recognizing that you require a skilled designer to remove AI artifacts from your existing front cover and extend the artwork into a professional, print-ready full jacket. You need an expert to execute precise, manual image restoration on the tiki statue’s eyes without using AI tools, structure a seamless 5.5" by 8.5" paperback spread with a 0.125-inch bleed, and deliver flawless 600 DPI files that pass KDP's pre-press check. My approach centers on utilizing Adobe Photoshop for the manual, pixel-level digital painting required to correct the artifacts and subtly shift the tiki statue's gaze, ensuring a totally human-crafted, professional finish. I will then port the cleaned artwork into Adobe Illustrator to construct your precise paperback wrap blueprint, fading the background elements while preserving the torch, stacking the spine typography exactly to your specifications, and integrating your "Castaway Press" branding alongside the bamboo dividers. Will you be able to provide the exact page count or final spine width calculation from KDP so I can set up the template geometry perfectly, or should we build the initial layout using a placeholder spine thickness?

The final files will be delivered in all requested formats and built to pass KDP preflight requirements.

Hi, You're noticing AI artifacts and a slightly off gaze on the tiki statue , we can fix both cleanly without introducing new AI errors. We have spent the last 10 years solving exactly this type of problem. We will first perform precise manual retouching in Photoshop to remove AI artifacts, heal texture and color inconsistencies, and refine edges; then subtly adjust the tiki statue’s eyes (pixel-level edits and dodge/burn shading) to create a barely perceptible shift in gaze toward the young man. After approval of the cleaned front, we will export the standalone front at 600 DPI in JPEG, PNG, PDF, and an editable Illustrator (AI) file. For the paperback wrap, we will extend the canvas to 5.5" x 8.5" with appropriate spine width for your page count, replicate and darken the background behind the figures, retain the lit torch only if it won’t interfere with text, layout the provided back-cover copy and image, and create the spine typography and tiki/“Castaway Press” stacking plus bamboo divider. We will ensure color, type, and alignment match the front and supply print-ready files with 0.125" bleed that pass KDP prepress checks. Best regards, Talk soon, Zeeshan
