“Turn your photos into a comic book”

by Cyril Roger

A variation for Plasq's excellent comic book designer, Comic Life Magiq makes great use of Leopard technology and offers new snazzy effects to have fun with your pictures.

Just like Comic Life, Magiq is incredibly intuitive. New users will immediately feel comfortable with the interface and tools, while Comic Life users will find familiarities between both versions. Start out by selecting a template, then have fun adding photos and text bubbles to your page to makes some sort of story. The layout view is great to skim through your images. The navigator on the right lets you browse through your picture folders, while the bottom section offers a wide choice of bubbles.

Comic Life Magiq includes a renewed editor with enough tools to improve all aspects on your page like lettering, reflections, shadows and fonts. Although the interface can feel a little crowded at times, it certainly makes every feature immediately available. The best thing about Comic Life Magiq is how it makes use of Leopard technology though, notably Core Image and Core Animation.

If you love Comic Life and you're running Leopard, make sure to install Comic Life Magiq to enjoy its stylish effects and create stunning comic books out of pictures.
