[quote]I'll throw in on this thread...

I've just now purchased this s/w at the listed price.  I would't call it cheap nor steep.  Forty bucks for an inspired piece of work!

I'm not into marketing, but I do feel that to put a quality piece of software out there, provide support, and continue to improve development, it must provide reward to the developer.  Consider folks, there is not anything out there that comes anywhere close to quickly anwering to the need that this s/w answers.

I will use this software when it serves my purpose.
It is enough for me to pay the asking price. 
My congratulations to you, or your guys!

Though I have had a repeated problem with "Quick Comic". I've imported different iPhoto albums and have had them hang about half-way through the import.  I left one hung on page 25 of 40 for over an hour, when attempting to "Cancel" the "Beachball showed up.  I waited till it came time to "Force Quit" and did so.

As I can find a work around for this, I can live with it until the developers find a fix, or I'm gonna find out what I've done wrong.

Keep up the good work, and the answers will come.[/quote]

nah!	Nah! Don't touch the price. If they's gonna get a digital camera, an' then a 'mac, an' then a net connect, they can foreshore fork out the $40 bones to make 'em smile. Don't change a thing except fix the little buggyboos. CB
James Ryan	Compare the amount of fun to going to the football
Peter Sattler	I just want to chime in while the chorus of praise was still singing. I downloaded Comic Life earlier today, and my kids and I have been having fun with it ever since. The applicaiton is so simple, so straightforward and flexible. here's the best comparison I can make: Comic Life reminds me of how it felt to use MacPaint for the first time back in 1984. You start up the program...and you already know how to make it work! And even more, you are amazed at what you are able to do. Thanks for a great program, for making my kids feel creative, and for taking me back 20 years. Best, Peter
Robert	Hi Jon, Simple solution to having to set up everytime. Just create a comic in Comic Life with the margins etc that you want and save it with a special name (like 8 x 10 Template) then duplicate that file in the Finder - change its name to a new name and open it in Comic Life. You'll be ready to go. Best, Robert;
Jonkun227	Thanks Keith. I'll try the fix. I have a pretty good idea which photos were used. If I dump them in the folder and then open it again, any that I've forgotten should still be blank and I can then add the missing ones, right? That sounds WAY easier than redesigning the whole book. Shame I'll have competition. Shame I can't pay you enough that you'd consider otherwise. I know that as soon as I post these on my website other photographers will start asking and/or researching how they can do them. I don't have much time to build up my market domination before they catch up so I'd better hurry and publish a few of these. Custom page sizes: 8x10. I get discount bulk printing on 8x10 size through www.pictage.com, MUCH cheaper than any color copy or printout, and it's real photo paper. As it is I'm just using letter size and setting my margins to bring me down to 8x10 with a little extra white, then cropping in photoshop or acrobat, whichever way I export. But I have to set up the page size and margins and all that every time I start a new one. 8x10, 5x7, and 4x6 would be great to have because they're so easy to print through a pro lab or Walmart, and look so much better than my inkjet printouts at home. Hadn't noticed the custom resolution export in the new version yet. Thanks! - Jon
