We are delighted to offer a beta of our upcoming Comic Life Magiq 1.0.3 update.
It has numerous stability and significant performance improvements over 1.0.2.1 - so we would love previous users to download and let us know if you come across any issues.
A free update for Comic Life Magiq is available for all users.
Identical to 1.0.2c in all but version number, which has been changed to ensure 1.0.2 users are made aware of the 1.0.2c update via the menu: Comic Life Magiq > Check for Updates...
This 1.0.2.1 update is recommended for all 1.0.2 users and fixes a serious saving issue introduced in 1.0.2 that caused images to be left out of the document.
If you're already running 1.0.2c (v10939) you can "Skip This Version".
Head to the plasq downloads page to get the 1.0.2.1 update or update from within Comic Life Magiq.
Comic Life is great for sharing those funny little moments from school, in the office, or while on worldwide progressive-rock-legends tours.
Robert Fripp and Tony Levin have been sharing the day-to-day stories of touring within one of the most influential prog rock bands - on King Crimson’s 40th Anniversary Tour.
Ever wished you had the fun of Comic Life handy at all times? Ever been out at a party, family gathering or on public transport and wished you could add your 'comic touch' to a photo? Now you can!
We're giggling with glee to announce Comic Touch for iPhone and iPod Touch. Add various speech balloons and captions to your photos. Choose a fun special effect to warp and bend your family and friends, then email the results to them!

Hi cartoonM!ke,
Naming Styles and the like is already on our list of things to do, so hopefully you'll see that functionality in a future version of Comic Life Magiq.
I don't think we'd want to replace the 'Your Words Here' text as it's a good guide for beginners, but appreciate the innovative thinking!

I'm posting this here, as it relates to interface changes and I don't want to clutter up this forum.
Anyway, I do like the color scheme, it allows me to focus on the lettering and art a bit better.
What I miss from Comic Life is the ability to name styles and such. Is there any way that the "Your Words Here..." text can be replaced by the style's name?

Please keep it friendly around here.
We do understand that what's 'easily visible' to some, is not for all, and are appreciate everyone's feedback.
The muted, darker tones was chosen to let the images and colors on the page stand out more. Apple's 'pro' applications tend to use this color scheme. But, we understand how contrast or lack therof can cause big problems with text. We're definitely listening so please do let us know your thoughts.

You've GOT to be kidding....
The color schema needs little tweaking. It looks like a Cocoa app. Now certain areas are a little too close to each other, granted, but there is more than enough to distinguish things so that you at least know where to look for them...
Time for better bifocals, friend.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the feedback. We constantly update and tweak interface elements where we think we can improve things - so we appreciate your specific comments on the darker look and the dense layout.
We'd love to know what you all think about the visual 'look' of Comic Life Magiq. Please do let us know!
Thanks!

Are there any plans to update the CL Magiq UI at some point in the near future?
Part of the problem is that it really doesn't look like a Mac app and doesn't gel with the rest of the system.
With all elements showing, the interface is too crowded and the dark palette and lack of color variation makes it hard to distinguish separate elements and buttons.
