How to put a psd on a cover??
Begin with downloading the PSD itself from DeviantArt. There are a lot of deviants that make psd, my favorites are ravenorlov, 4mira, pxrpose, evey-v, valeryhoranhemmings and so many more. You can even see them on my DeviantArt favorites.
Anyways after downloading open the psd and I am taking this lovely PSD by krypteriahg.

tip: Don't overuse PSD because then the final product looks over saturated and always select the ones that actually will look nice on the cover.
In the future, I will be also adding some chapter on how to make PSD's, that is a little tricky and time-consuming so later.....
