Comic Book Creator Creativity

This is a great program. Once installed get the update from their website. If you ever had the dream of making your own comic book to express yourself, try this to get started. What's cool, if you can't draw you can use clipart and your own photos. I highly recommend having a good graphics program like Paintshop Pro or Gimp or Photoshop to edit your photos,art,etc....

A good value introduction.

I own this in version 1.08, and think it is well worth the price. I would have sold my grandma to get this when I was age 11. It does what it says, but nothing more. Maybe the balloons could use a little work - scale them up too much and some of them develop subtle jaggies on some edges. But it has the huge advantage of being incredibly easy to use, which is great for kids. I mean, which 12-year-old wants to learn the complexities of Photoshop ("feather 2px" every time, just to create a panel border...

I wanted to like this, but it was too limiting

There's some good things here (some nice fonts, for example), but ultimately I found using Comic Book Creator too frustrating.For example, the speech balloons reproduced with jagged edges.Also, the clip art bundled with the program is pretty lousy, though you can import your own.Worst of all, one has to choose the page layout as a first step.So later, if you decide you want to insert a frame between two others, it can't be done.Perhaps there are workarounds for these problems, but they weren't immediately...

Total junk

Check the back picture on the box--tells you all you need to know. This is not for making comic books, it's for importing photographs and adding text. Near as I can tell you are also confined to square and rectangular panels, which makes for bad, uninspired layout. Avoid like the black plague!...

Try the demo before you buy

Pros: very easy to useCons: Very simplistic, few menu options, limited number of included images.As an amateur Photoshop user, I found this software too limited to do anything useful.I downloaded the demo version from the manufacturer's web site, and tried to make a sample Sci-Fi comic page.None of the included background images were even remotely useful.So I decided to skip the background and look for some clip-art characters to use.Again, there wasn't much of a selection.If you've used Photoshop...
