It's a Comic Life
Now you can live in it!
Comic Life Magiq empowers users of all ages and skill levels with simple-to-use but eye-catching creative options typically found in professional products. Comic Life Magiq is built from the ground up to leverage the power of Mac OS X 10.5 core technologies, like Core Image and Core Animation resulting in photo-comics with unique visual effects and elegant layout.Comic Life Magiq includes creative features rivaling 'Pro' applications, while retaining plasq's signature ease-of-use. For example, the included Magiq Image Editor is a friendly tool with a powerful core offering features ranging from smart cut-out, warping and smudging, painting, skinning, green-screening and more all wrapped up in an easy and entertaining interface.
The comic page layout engine can handle complex and creatively-curved comic panels, speech balloons and captions. Artistic 'brushes' provide hand-drawn feel to lines, and powerful compositing lets the user flexibly combine their images. A high degree of control over individual comic elements enables complex gradients, reflections, brushes, line styles, fill options, shadows and more. The modular interface lets users hide or view these details while navigating through a continuous WSYWIG page layout view.
Also included are a collection of artist-commissioned templates, props, balloon shapes and spraycans to both inspire and get users straight into the fun. Templates cover a wide variety of life's events and characters including birthdays, pets, outdoor activities etc.
