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.

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.

 line art filter? - 2008/05/14 23:07 One thing I would like to see in either/both Comic Life and it's sequel is a filter that you can apply to a photo that converts it to a "comic book-type" line art. I have heard that this is available in Photo$hop, but I can't $pring three hundred buck$ just for one effect. Is it possible to add to the program or develop as a paid add-on?

Since I'm not running 10.5, I can't dig into Magiq yet, but I thought I'd throw in my two cent$ worth and see if others are hoping for the same thing.

 Re:line art filter? - 2008/05/14 23:27 Do you have an image you can link to that shows the effect you're after?

 Re:line art filter? - 2008/05/14 23:36 For example, here's an image using one of Comic Life Magiq's filters. The blacks are more defined and the colors blurred.

 Re:line art filter? - 2008/05/14 23:47 Or did you mean something more like a "Find edges" as on this page?

 Re:line art filter? - 2008/05/14 23:48 Maybe I'm hoping for the moon, but what I'm wishing for is something that would take a photo and create something like the following picture from it.

Thick lines emphasize the borders, simplifcation of complex textures, and replacing complex color mixes with a single color.

Did I mention that I wanted the gold of the Incas as well? I hope this request is easier than finding the gold. M

 Re:line art filter? - 2008/05/14 23:57 Most of the tutorials I've seen show that as taking a few steps with a lot of input from the artist. I'm not sure if there's an automated tool that can take an image and come out with something that good looking. Even a good tracer like VectorMagic can only do so much as it doesn't know what "looks pleasing".

The plasq guys read these forums regularly and having the example to look at will help them determine if it's possible or not.
