plasq Releases Comic Life Magiq 1.0 - Ultimate Photo Comic Creation Tool Released for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

Comic Life Magiq - Quickly create powerful photo stories with professional templates, warp images in amazing ways with the new Magiq image editor, produce persuasive how-to guides using any digital image on your Mac.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 8, 2008 -- plasq today released Comic Life Magiq 1.0 for Mac OS X. This entirely new photo-comic desktop publishing software from plasq 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.

Looking at the incredible creativity that the original Comic Life unleashed we were inspired to try and match our users and develop software that would offer even more expressive possibilities

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.

 

"Looking at the incredible creativity that the original Comic Life unleashed we were inspired to try and match our users and develop software that would offer even more expressive possibilities" said Robert Grant, plasq Co-Founder. "The result is simply amazing. Beautiful templates, incredibly fun tools for wreaking havoc with your images and powerful comic layout features wrapped in an animated user interface -- it all adds up to a product that could only be called Magiq."

 

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.
