Here is another way of doing the covers.

In this method you keep the picture's original background and you blur it bit

The blur will function as a way allowing the text to be visible but also allowing your cover model to be the center of attention.

You resize (and crop if necessary) so your image can come in at 1000x755.

Once again, we'll use Chelle, the image has been resized and cropped to 1000x755

In the Microsoft Photos app, click edit, then background and then remove(it'll be on the far right).

Save the image of the woman with the background removed as a separate png file.

Re-open the full image in the Microsoft Photos app and click "edit," then "background," and then blur(it'll be on the far right). Adjust the intensity to your liking, in this case, I went for 80

Save this blurred image, because this is your background.

Now open Photoscape X and go to the editor tab and open the image with the blurred background.

Now add your Masthead, taglines and article

Click on insert and images and add the png of the woman with the background removed.

On the layer list make sure the woman is standing in front of he magazine title (or masthead) but behidn the article titles.
