Comic Life Magiq 1.0.2.1 update released
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.

I have to agree about the interface changes as I'm not a big fan of programs deviating from standard Mac design. My biggest issue is with the photo editor that comes up when you click on the artist paint board in the upper right hand corner of a selected photo. This brings up an editor that while makes it easy to find most of the tools but at the expense of wasting a tremendous amount of screen space. In particular, I would like to see more of the picture I'm trying to edit.

Can I second this? That Magiq editor clearly saw no usability testing. In fact, much of the product seems as if it's designed more for the screenshot than actual usability. I kind of wish I had upgraded Comic Life rather than spending my money on Magiq. I guess I can hope that Plasq puts some effort into making Magiq actually usable.

In reading the postings here and abroad I think the general sentiment is dissatisfaction.

Re:Magiq - replacement or complement? - 2008/05/27 11:39 Hello all,

We humbly appreciate all the feedback, in this case particularly on the Magiq image editor usability and size constrictions.

We'll definitely be looking into improving that in future, and are thankful for your support and letting us know what is great, and what is not great about Comic Life Magiq - so please do let us know which features you find great or frustrating to use.

Many thanks.

Keith

Re:Magiq - replacement or complement? - 2008/06/13 20:26 Another thing about the editor, I find it annoying that it always wants to be on the front. For instance, if I find myself apple-tabbing to another app to check something up, the editor follows and sticks itself up on top of the app.

Also, it is horifficly slow on my 2Gb RAM 2Ghz intel core duo macbook. Getting a lovely new Macbook Pro soon though, so that should fix that up.

I hope.

Re:Magiq - replacement or complement? - 2008/06/29 10:15 I'm going to stick with classic as well after having demoed Magiq. Developers remember not everyone has fast Macbook Pros!

It's a shame as I really like the added vector-like editor for frames and balloons, and also the brush option for the lines. I just wish I could use it in the classic version of the software.

The UI needs to go back to looking more mac like to fit with everything else in the system.

Also it would be great to be able to paint and draw directly inside a blank frame, not just on top of pictures.
