Cranium Comics has recently launched their first four color comic, Brawn #1.
"I used Comic Life on my Mac exclusively to lay out the storyboards, then later when I created and colored all 24 pages of the issue," recounted Anthony Rezendes, the owner of Cranium Comics and co-creator of Brawn.
The comic 'Brawn' focuses on a dockworker named Sam Ross who was reborn as the hero "Brawn" after he was nearly killed in a drunk driving accident.
"Being an illustrator, it saved me quite a bit of time from having to lay all the text bubbles out manually. It made the process of actually creating the comic that much more enjoyable," Mr. Rezendes added.
We think this comic is great! So check out 'Brawn' on the Cranium Comics site or read the first 5 pages on our Comic Life gallery.
If you have a look under the Preferences, you'll see that you can set the resolution that filters are processed at. The reason for this preferences is that effects which involve a half-tone, only look good on screen at 72dpi, whereas obviously a higher DPI is required for print.
We'll look into giving you more flexibility on the subtlety of the effect -- your feedback is much appreciated!
Re:pixelated images - 2008/05/18 18:01Keith, If you're referring to the WYSIWYG tick box - as mentioned, I've tried this and all it does is output the image with a very subtle effect which is not usable at all.
I've tried to upload the screenshot, ut didn;t attach? I'll try again....
Sorry - I was using the Comic Life Magiq terminology.
Yes, the WYSIWYG is the correct menu.
Unfortunately, the effect is reliant on Core Image, which does not give as finite control as we may like. In Comic Life Magiq there are DPI options which helps, but we'll look into the issue.
I'm using Comic Life Deluxe 1.4.1 on a Macbook with 10.5.
I've the same problem: my pictures (originals are 3456 x 2304 px) are very prixelated: on screen, on print or with a export (all format: PDF,...). I've try to delete the .plist, to reinstall the soft, but I always have the same problem: I just cannot use now ComicLife. All outpouts are awfull pixelated.
