New User Visitor	Slow and Bulky - 2007/10/18 08:47 I just bought the windows version of Comic Life. It is slow and bulky. What size machine did you test it on? I am running it on a Pentium 4 2.80 Ghz on 1 gig of ram. It takes forever just to print ONE page to PDF. And the program crashes if there are too many pictures in the photos album (I know that you are working on this problem). I hope to see improvements to the overall responsiveness of this program very soon. It must be able to handle large amounts of graphics ... otherwise this program was a waste of my money and is useless as a "comic" book creation program.

Maj Visitor	Re:Slow and Bulky - 2007/10/18 12:33 That machine should be more then capable of running CL. Our computers at school run them on something way worse, and I have not noticed any performance issues. *I recommend you defrag your computer, and or run a virus and spyware scan.

I am sorry you are having problems with Comic Life.

This is actually a known limitation and is listed here.

And the program crashes if there are too many pictures in the photos album (I know that you are working on this problem).

If you are getting a crash log please email that along with details of what is causing the crash to : clwinbeta@plasq.com

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Jamal Morelli Visitor	Re:Slow and Bulky - 2008/03/16 19:47 Once a Comic Life Project surpasses a certain number of pages, it becomes unworkably slow. What do users do to speed up ComicLife? Is there a way to automatically export half of a comicdoc document?

Re:Slow and Bulky - 2008/03/19 20:54 Hi Jamal,

Generally we recommend not to use a lot of shadows when you are working on a comic - but add them afterwards.

Some people have been known to create comics with 100 pages. Others prefer to create volumes of 10 to 15 pages to keep the speed up.

Are you using 1.4.1?

robert brouard Visitor	Re:Slow and Bulky - 2008/10/01 05:55 I've just bought CL 1.3.5 and I must say I'm quite diappointed, having already used the Mac version. I'm running it on XP / AMD sempron 3000+ / 1Gb RAM. And I also find it generally slow. - Especially when scrolling through a photo collection (even small). I hope that will be corrected soon, although it is a known issue since 1.3.4. - Also the photo quality seems deteriorated when added to an album, I guess (hope) this diappears after export/print - It crashed once too when browsing through the page templates Hope these little flaws will be dealt with soon !
