<description><![CDATA[Directed to post number 3, possibly 4 when i hit post.
Ashraf, designing a cover for a DVD etc is hard to do in your normal graphics editor unless they have templates for DVD's etc.
This is because what you see on your screen isn't what comes out of your printer.
There are size dimensions, shapes and other things to take into account.
You can't just open photoshop, draw a circle and paste an image, it needs to be the correct size, with the hole in the middle the correct size, also, you can just get a glue stick and paper and glue it on.

Yes, this software is a resource hog. This may only be because its a graphics editor with a poorly coded GUI and structure, but this program will be very useful for people.

Also, in regards to other people who come to this site, vote negatives on comments and software.
I would really like to see you try and get a website like this running, with constant new, unrepeated software for FREE. Thats the main idea here, it's free. Please get some maturity and think that each bit of software is chosen specifically for your needs.

I know, this post will get like -90 on it, and you are the people this is aimed at...

Cheers,
Rio]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[the purpose of the software is for someone that sells virtual products, like e-books or audio or video downloads, to have a 
picture of a product on their website to sell.  It looks more 
'real' and adds to the perceived value.

it does not make covers or labels for CDs that you may make or burn.

wish I had seen this before the time had expired; it looks more 
professional than the site I had been using.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Some people are missing the point of this program.  This isn't for creating covers for ACTUAL products, it's for creating graphical representations of DIGITAL products.  So if you create a software program that is only for download, you can create a 3D box to represent it on the website.  If you write a book that is only available to download in PDF format, you can create a 3D book that represents this book for visual appeal.

It is NOT for creating covers for physical items!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Name ISN'T misleading!

"e" refers to "electronic".

If we talk about "e"mail we all know it isn't actual physical mail.

An eCover is an electronic representation of a cover and they are used all over the internet.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I don't see a point in it.  I have all kinds of graphics software, and this does a whole lot less than a lot of freeware plug-ins.  I tried making it do something useful, and it locked up.

Somebody else already remarked, it's a resource hog.  It isn't even a good deal for free.

Two thumbs down.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["access violation" and crashed. This program won't run on my XP machine. SP3 installed. Paint.net already installed. .net framework up to date. I wanted to give this program a fair try, I tried to install 3 times, with reboots, but it was fruitless. Same error each time. Maybe its just my machine, but I don't have problems running any other programs. Makes you think??]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I didn't mention the Paint.NET issue because I already had Paint.NET, so the installer only installed eCover Engineer.  The GOTD forum topic mentions that people encountered problems with the eCover Engineer installer installing a second copy of Paint.NET if the existing one was on a different drive.  That's an extremely serious problem, and could be very difficult to straighten out.  If you haven't installed eCover Engineer yet and want to, but know that situation applies to you, I would uninstall your copy of Paint.NET first, then run the eCover Engineer installer, then uninstall its version of Paint.NET, then reinstall the latest version of Paint.NET to where you had it before.

As #69, TK, mentioned, Paint.NET has absolutely nothing to do with Windows Paint, and doesn't replace it.

Paint.NET is fully Vista compatible.  It makes extensive use of .NET, so the installation is large, complex, and slow.  If you're interested in eCover Engineer, you should definitely download and install the latest version of <a href="http://www.getpaint.net/" rel="nofollow">Paint.NET</a> first.  I strongly recommend doing those types of installations from an administrator account.  To those who said Paint.NET messed up their systems, there are a number of issues.  Your .NET installation could be damaged.  The Paint.NET version which you tried previously could have been old.  I recommend reading the Paint.NET forum installation and FAQ stickies, they mention other Vista settings which may be incorrect.

#59, Ariana, yes, it does the 3D perspective and lighting.  You can use mouse dragging to tilt and rotate the image in realtime, and there are controls for reflection (spelled incorrectly) and lighting, etc.  It's not really appropriate for creating your CD/DVD labels.  A better approach would be to create the physical labels first with your current software, then import those images into eCover Engineer (you may want/need to resize them first).]]></description>
