Creating a Cover for Your Book
When you create a new book album, Aperture automatically creates a front cover page
for your book. You can select the page and add a title, cover image or design, and other
text or images that you like.
You can also choose between a softcover or hardcover design. Softcover designs have a
white background, but when you select a hardcover design and purchase printed
copies of the book from Apple’s print vendor, you can choose from a selection of
hardcover colors. Note that you can only add images and text to the front cover of your
book; you can’t specify images or text on the spine or back cover when purchasing
books from Apple’s print vendor.
To choose whether your book has a softcover or hardcover design, you click one of the
book cover buttons.
