My attempts to get used to Manga Studio continue. Soon I’m going to have to write a blog post about all the differences between working in PhotoShop and in MangaStudio. My whole process has been up-ended. I have less control over things like color balance and depth of field right now, when compared to working in PhotoShop. The order I do things has to be different for me to take full advantage of the panel-by-panel construction of a comic in MangaStudio. And I’m still working out how to make full use of the wondrous fact that you can use the pen tools on vector layers.

So, in your opinion, would it be worth my time and cash to invest in manga studio, or would I be better served upgrading my photoshop program?

I think if you want a program that is designed for making comics, and you are okay with “re-learning” a lot of your techniques, Manga Studio is worthwhile. I’ve really only been intensely working with it for a month, and I’ve reached the proficiency that it took me several months to reach with PhotoShop (regarding making comics). That being said, I don’t think I’ll be abandoning PhotoShop, because I will need it for editing color balance, etc. But the way Manga Studio handles word bubbles, panels, and multiple-page comic stories is definitely superior.

Zadziory? More like SADziory! But seriously, he looks so despondent in panel 5 that it’s crushing my soul :'(
