Book Cover apps?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for recommendations for book cover design apps. So far the only thing I've found is BookCoverPro, which seems to be a decent layout tool but I'd like to know if there are other options. I know there are lots of professionals that I could hire for their design services, but I'm a control freak and I'd like to have the option of doing it myself. I need a program that is available for Mac, can do the full cover and save in PDF. InDesign is overkill by an order of magnitude.
Is there anything I've missed in my Google searches?

Success! I can use Pixelmator with a CreateSpace template! I'm sure a template from just about anywhere would work just fine, but today I tried a CreateSpace template in Pixelmator, mocked up a full cover, and saved to PDF. So never mind, folks, I got this under control.
