Fantastic, but needs a bit more.

Hi, I’ve started using your program recently, and it’s great! I have a couple of requests... Could you give us an option to make a custom page size, along with the option to have a transparent background? I try to export the speech balloons to my art program (on my iPad), but the JPEG makes it too blurry and the paper dimensions are inaccurate. I use this app to add speech balloons and effects to an already existing comic (image), but once it’s saved, the quality drops. Is it possible for me to save the word balloons as a transparent PNG image? If you could add these features, that’d mean the entire world to me. Thank you so much! :)

Needs Feature - Share Current Page

I originally bought Comic Draw as a tool for creating graphic novels, but I found the sketching and inking tools in Procreate were much better. The last straw for Comic Draw was the lack of even a basic grid to help with reference and alignments.

So bought this app thinking it would be a better companion to Procreate. The idea was I could script and layout my panels, export page layouts to Procreate, sketch and ink my art, export the page as an image, and import back into Comic Life to add page textures and text. It works great... for the first page in the Comic.

What ruins what could be an otherwise good workflow is that while Comic Draw can export an individual page as an image to another app. Comic Life only supports the ability to export the first page in the comic. I can’t find anyway to work around this.

Hello there Kawfee Bassie,

Thanks for your feedback. I will pass it all onto the plasq team for consideration.

Comic Life does export all pages - but some apps might only accept the first page. What you would need to do is "Save to Files" you could then choose the page you wish to open in another app that way.

Sorry for the inconvenience - hope this work-around helps for now. Thank you.

Good, but I have a important question.

I was a really big fan of the original comic life, which was very cool, but it stoped working so I needed to get this. I have a lot of trouble writing stuff though, I press the text boxes and all I can do is reshape it, delete it, or copy it. I feel like there should be something in the little black box above it, that says “write” or “text,” so I can be able to write. So far, the template thing also seems to look way too much like the Pages template thing. So far, Comic Life 3 has been good, but there is lots of room for improvement.

Developer Response ,

Hi there! Thanks for the review, Hard-Critic! To edit the text in captions and balloons you need to double tap the balloon/caption quickly and then you will go into edit text mode of that element. You raise a good suggestion with the popup - I will pass that onto the plasq team for consideration. If you have any further questions, please email: plasq@plasq.com Thanks!
