You can save as png, gif, tif, bmp, jpg, tga and psd -- and you can build an image that way, but, for the mirror type image, for example, between multiple render times and postwork to seamlessly combine the layers, you wind up with a 12-15 hour result. I have a lot of sympathy for the cover artists (which may mean I short myself on what I ask for in covers).

Meaning--Samhain pays pretty well, by most epub standards ($150 I think?). If you spend 3-5 hours and don't incur any significant costs (e.g. stock photos or specific CG models (I bought a $30 CG motorcycle for one cover and then the publisher folded)), that's $50-$30 an hour. (If this counts as self-employment wages, then 7% comes out for unemployment, 2X% comes out for this that and the other--taxes for the self-employed suck!)

I'm right there with your mom! We have two smoke/fire alarms in our house. They're both considered food timers. :-)
