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.
This 1.3.5 update changes where default temp files are saved, to reflect the recommended guidelines; resolving some issues affecting some schools. This update also includes several other fixes.
This is a free update for all users and can be downloaded from our Downloads page.
Re:pixelated images - 2008/05/13 04:36Yes i run the latest 1,4,1.
I have not yet try to delete the.plist... I will !! But in a hurry.... I had to manually re create on photoshop . ... The problem is not so the export in PDF, I have Printed in pdf instead of export in PDF, by this way... like I read, it works for real (but I printed only the frames and texts)... and then in toshop I recreated my pictures..... long long long... but it's done.
The main pb that remains is why when I import a full A4 300 dpi... which is after, export in jpeg full quality @ 300.. the lost of quality is Huge.... and the other bugs I reported before... I will try to reinstall properly, I ve just re download the program and replace...same version... it changed anyhting.
Re:pixelated images - 2008/05/13 15:48- I create a ISO A4 page - Import a 10M pic (2742X3809px) @ 300dpi => 232X322 mm It create in the page a smaller pic.... by more or less 70X100 mm.
If I zoom in.... the def is awfull I clic resize image to actual size... it create a bigger image than 232X322 mm but the def is ok..... I reduce the pic into the page...it keeps the def ok....... for a few secondes and then ...bouhhhhh big pixels instead of.
I try to resize again but this time I can't have the good def in big size.
Second test : I do the same steps , import, awfull def, resize : this time the pic has its good print size but not the good def on screen.. I reduce in the page... no more good def. I resize again to go back to original size and this time I got a tiny bloc of 10 mm with awfull pixels inside....
This is the same problem with different pictures, @ different def. One shot it works........ for a few second, the next it doesn't work at all creating weird effects....
Re:pixelated images - 2008/05/13 16:46!!!!!!!!!! I found !!!!!
Well, define an automatic page size.... doesn't work. The custom param. were remained at a low res. about 500X600 or something like that....
I Use a Custom Size and entered a 2480 X 3508...A4 @300..... and then IT WORKS... all mywork needs to be re compose and RESIZED, but when resized, pics are good looking in a good def.
Then, export in PDF still doesn't work but Print in PDF works with a good print def, as expected....
Too late for my yesterday's 63 sheet doc, but for the next time everything should be Ok now !!!!!!!
So cool !!!!!
So final question.... Am I totaly twisted or we are forced to determine a pixel size and choose an ISO is impossible... It could be cool to finally, so as to work for print or for web, to easily define a legal print size as A4... and define the definition???
I'm a little confused .. What measurement system are you using here:
"I Use a Custom Size and entered a 2480 X 3508...A4 "
??
Comic Life defines page sizes using Points by default, but you can set it up to work in measurements of cm or inches if you like, by going to Comic Life>Preferences
.
long long long... but it's done.
