You mean the template? No, it just provides the proper dimensions for printing purposes. You need to resize the cover yourself.

Step 1: Scan the original cover (300-600 dpi is best)
Step 2: Open the scan in an image editing program like Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Corel, etc.
Step 3: Apply a 'Gaussian Blur' (radius at least .50, but no more than 1.00)
Step 4: Open the cover template as a separate window in the image editing program
Step 5: Cut & paste into the template (do the front cover, back cover, and spine separately)
Step 6: Apply any necessary finishing touches (i.e. color correction, bright/contrast/shadow, clone tool to remove any unsightly dust spots, scratches & creases)
Step 7: Save
Step 8: Print

Spine...
Remeber the Thinpak spine is only 80 pixels, whereas a normal spine is 170, for an amaray single anyway, you need to adjust that or the scan won't fit the thinpak properly.
