Need to get rid of a nipple?

I had the book cover to my upcoming age play romance sorted when I noticed a tiny little flaw. See if you can spot it.


The title of this blog post might have given it away a bit. I only noticed once it was finished but there's a hint of nipple visible. Now this may not be the end of the world for most of us but in the world of Amazon, nipples on book covers are a huge risk as your book may be adult filtered (not findable immediately in search results) or even blocked.
So having spotted the problem, what to do about it? Well my solution was to open up GIMP (my preference for image editing, the equivalent of Photoshop) and make use of the airbrush tool to whiten the area and avoid the risk of trouble when the book is released. Here's the results of my work, see if you can spot the difference.

And there we have a finished and adult filter safe front cover. All in a day's work for a glamorous romance author!
