41 3 Cover Cover in Adobe Photoshop Since Photoshop does not allow you to specify the bleed separately, you must set the document size including the bleed. Follow these steps: 1. Document Size: Create a document equal to the width of the back plus the thickness of the spine plus the front, with a bleed of 3 mm on all sides. 2. Settings: Total document size = back + spine thickness + front + 3 mm bleed all around. 3. Resolution: Make sure the resolution is at least 300 DPI and no more than 600 DPI for optimal print quality. 4. File Format: Save the file as a PDF file. Make sure to preserve all layers so that the text retains its vector properties, resulting in better quality. Please note: The 3 mm bleed will be trimmed off after printing, so avoid placing important elements too close to the edge of the document.
