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.

Re:PNG / Alpha Exports? - 2008/05/10 11:31 Hi Silverone,

I'm a bit confused now-- you're authoring for a website and print at the same time?

Maybe you could explain a little more about the workflow/ what other apps you're using?

When you copy in Max OS X, you're actually copying a PDF file into the clipboard, which is nice, because it means you can copy from Comic Life Magiq and paste into Photoshop (for example) each element as vector objects.

Skitch unfortunately doesn't handle PDF's for greater than screen resolution, it simply will accept them at the original size of the element.

What this means is, if you're just doing something for screen resolution (like a website), then Skitch will be perfectly suitable, by using the steps I listed before. Note: you're not snapping the graphic, you're actually using copy (Command+C) in Comic Life Magiq and Paste (Command+V) into Skitch which means you don't have to recut the object, as long as you complete the rest of the steps to make sure that Skitch puts a transparent background behind your object, instead of a white one.

If you're working in Print resolution, then you should be able to copy and paste your Comic Life Magiq stuff into your application, whether thats Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.

We're definitely working to make this easier in future.
