Software for making ebook Covers

    I need a software that will make professional looking software boxes and ebook covers. I have looked around and most programs seem to be selling for $39-$97 dollars. I hate to spend $97 and not be able to use it because I am really not experienced with those kinds of programs. Can anyone recommend a program that is easy to use and produces nice images. I did purchase a lower end priced software and was able to create an image, but the software would only allow me a certain amount of characters to display on the front and I need a program that allows me to enter more text. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I have alot of different ones. I get action scripts. I have the same script killer covers uses. Although they do lot of there work in the actual design and do not depend on the script to make the covers great.

    The action scripts are really the way to go. I have tried most of the
    ebook cover generators they are not worth the cash.
    I use the scripts with photoshop6, and they work great.
