Hey all! I was just wondering what you all used for working on audiobook covers. I've got a pretty nice setup going, but am open to alternatives and new tools. Here's what I use:

Affinity (Free, Requires Canva Account)- For general image editing, fonts, etc.

Google Gemini (Freemium) - For edits that take way too much time and effort in Affinity

Topaz Photo Pro (Paid, Pricey) - For more detailed image up-scaling and de-noising, excellent results

Upscayl (Free) - For image up-scaling, usually has decent results on less powerful hardware. Little control with OK results

Caesium (Free) - For Bulk Image compression. RAW files can be 15-50MB, compresses them with minimal quality loss.

Audible Cover Grabber (Free)- Firefox extension to download full res Audible covers (usually 2400x2400)

iTunes Artwork Finder (Free) - By Ben Dodson, to download full res iTunes covers (upwards of 3000x3000)

Font Matcherator (Freemium) - Identify similar fonts

I would love to hear about other people's tools. More tools means more capability!
