Comic Life 1.4: Image Adjustment, New Styles, and More
Comic Life, Plasq’s fantastic comic creation application has been updated to version 1.4. For the uninitiated, the Apple Design Award winning Comic Life allows you to take photos and turn them into comics–complete with speech bubbles, panels, and stylized text.
New in this release are various bug fixes, of course, but Plasq has also included quite a few major new features. The most obvious are the new image adjustment controls (Below, right). Users can now adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness, exposure, and saturation, all from within Comic Life. Other new features include the new jagged ballon tail style and the ability to rotate speech balloons (Below, left)
In addition, Comic Life 1.4 has a new object duplication tool, iPhoto ’08 event access from the Library pane, multiple object selection, and improved image export quality.
As noted in our original Comic Life review, this app is a blast to play around with. And as fantastic as Comic Life is for, well, making comics, the application has other less obvious uses like annotating photos and creating eye-catching “How-to†guides.
The standard version of Comic Life retails for $24.95, while a deluxe version (including more fonts, styles, and templates) is available for $29.95. The feature filled 1.4 update is free for all registered users and a 30 day trial is available. New Macs have previously included Comic Life pre-installed, so you might already have it. Check out Plasq’s Comic Life page for more info.
