Thanks Mark … yes it is clearly evident how much you love what you do. Your mockups are second to none. Keep ’em coming and thank you!
means a lot brother, thanks!
I worked in the offset printing industry (36 years) creating typography, darkroom film processing (when film was film) and post-processing (cutting and folding large sheets of stock) — our overhead conveyor folder took 32″ x 32″ paper sheet and fold it down 16 times …
I know what you mean about being excited about work — I was in the shop as early as 2:15 a.m. and sometimes weekends and even holidays …
I am interested in learning how you create thin shadow lines mixed with larger book shadows ???
Wishing you and yours all the best, I am

Hey Marvin,
Thanks for the comment. Pretty cool hearing about that process. I get those urges on weekends and holidays too.
I’ll email you about the shadows.
Thanks!
These are incredible! I can’t wait to put them to use. Thanks so much!
This is the first time I am entering your website and the mock ups are really gorgeous.
I thought they are for selling 100%… this is a really good work.
Thanks you very much for sharing this.

Thanks! Really cool mock ups!
These are amazing! Do the smart layers work in PSE 10? I’m guessing no since I could not get the layer to open. What version of Photoshop is required?
Thanks!
Hi Leonard. Glad you like the mockup. Versions before CS6 have been known to work, such as CS4 and CS5. But right now I’m supporting CS6 and higher.
Thanks for the response. The only version of CS6 I can find is something called Creative Cloud. Is that the same thing? Could you point me to a version of Photoshop I can buy? I love your mock-ups so much I think I have to upgrade.
Thanks!

Hey Leonard, yes you got it. The Creative Cloud subscription comes with the latest version of Photoshop (which at this time is CC 2016). The CS6 version is a bit older and a minimal requirement for most of my mockups. The Photography plan is a pretty good deal. You can choose a plan here https://creative.adobe.com/creative-cloud?promoid=NV3KR7S1&mv=other
I use several Adobe Apps so I have the “All Apps” plan.
Hope this helps.

[…] Messy 5 x 8 Paperback Book Stack Template: aunque el tamaño es 5 x 8 pulgadas, se adapta muy bien a cubiertas de libros creadas para CreateSpace en el tamaño 5,5 x 8,5 pulgadas (el desfase el solo por un par de milímetros). […]
Simple and effective – thank you for creating it!
It´s a geat job to help me to preview my new book.
