King Crimson Comics!
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.

Enjoy the King Crimson Comics here and here.

 Photos to drawings - 2005/04/27 05:33 Comic Life is a great concept and a great application. I love the ease of use and the sound effects.

I'd love to see an option to change the photos into drawings so that they look like hand-drawn illustrations and the panels look like "real" comic books panels. Perhaps there could be "stylesheets" to convert all the photos to a particular style, such as DC comics from the 70s or Lichtenstein.

Thanks.

 Re:Photos to drawings - 2005/06/18 02:11 That's an idea I could get behind!

I suppose you couldn't actually dupe particular specific house styles, but you could certainly have some stylesheets like "Hero's in Action," "Grim & Gritty," and "Toonirific" that would give users different pre-set photo-to drawing art filter styles to work with. Jerry

well, I just realized, that ComicLife with 10.3 doesn't offer any image filters…

I prep my photos in PSE… more work, same effect!

(note for me: update!)

 What about Tiger's Core Image techn. - 2006/01/24 09:13 maybe this is the right place to talk about the cartoon/image fx.

not shure – but do the app use the "core image" features of OSX 10.4 ? i guess so...
i really miss an advanced setup/adjustment for the applied image fx. Cause not every image looks best with the default parameters.
I recently found the free "image tricks" tool, which is based on the core image possibilities.

info link:

would be nice to have this FX (layered?) in ComicLife !!!

any thoughts?

 Re:What about Tiger's Core Image techn. - 2006/01/25 10:43 we're working to have the visual efffects a little more intuitive and also more editable at the same time...no release schedule for these features yet.

There are a number of really good free editors (like rexkramer pointed out - thanks) around now that let you edit images used the CoreImage filters with complex layering etc.
