    ARGH! I just updated and built my comic (I have a daily webcomic) but when I imported to PDF all the images were gone! The word balloons and word graphics remained, but no pictures. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    WARNING! DO NOT UPDATE TO LATEST VERSION OF COMIC LIFE 2 (2.1)! I did it today and I am regretting it greatly. I am now experiencing multiple problems with Comic Life 2 that I never have before.

    1. Images within panel frames now move when you try to resize the frame. This makes it very difficult to crop photos and causes you constantly have to reposition the artwork inside the frame. Also when you try to resize a graphic within a frame, the graphic will sometimes disappear requiring you to have to hit "undo" a couple of times to get it back.

    2. I've noticed that the graphic heavy pages now flicker and blink which is very distracting.

    3. The line spacing goes wonky now when you bold one or two words in a speech balloon.

    4. When artwork is exported to (JPEG, PDF, HTML, etc.), some items completely disappear, while "transparent" images now have a white box behind them.

    Those are just a few things I discovered within a very short amount of time. I really love Plasq and think they are a great company, and I really hate to complain, but what a total disaster this "update" is. It is ruining my productivity and enjoyment of what has long been my absolute favorite program. I am extremely disappointed as I have never had any problems with Comic Life/Comic Life 2 in the past. Please fix this mess quickly so I can go back to using and enjoying my beloved CL2!!!

    Just upgraded - wish I would've seen the comments first - export the pdf and it's portrait - should be landscaped. I've tried everything I can think of as a work around. Bummer.

    I just used the updated function and it said it was going to push 2.1.1 to me, but when it installed and relaunched, I have 2.1 and all the problems others have experienced. Is the downloads page the correct version???
