- Rieck,
-
- r> I want to make a comic book using my Amiga 4000. My friend is trying to
- r> talk me into buying a PowerMac to do the job, but I am not giving into
- r> that temptation. I will remain strong!! He thinks that I will have a
- r> hard time using my A4000 to get the job done.
-
- Tell your friend "Pffffgggbbbbtt!!" :)
- I've never created a whole comic on the Amiga, but I did do comic
- coloring for Marvel and others on my Amiga with no problems at all!
-
- r> I would appreciate any info on the software or hardware that would be
- r> needed to produce a comic book with an A4000. As of right now the only
- r> software that I have for this purpose is an Epson ES-600c scanner,
- r> Brilliance,and Pagestream3.

- To get the best printout, you should pick up Studio II printer software
- (author Wolf Faust). You also might wish to pick up ImageFX (for color
- correction and special effects). To get a really clean printout you should be
- doing your pages as large as you can to keep any artifacting (or jaggies) from
- printing out. Some of the pages I did were 2KX3K. This means you should have
- at least 30 megs of memory.
- I did the majority of my coloring work in OpalPaint. If you're used to
- paper and pen/pencil, I'd strongly suggest getting either a Wacom or Calcomp
- tablet and the Accupoint driver software.
- If you want to discuss this further, drop me an email; I'd be glad to
- share whatever experience I've had with you on this topic.
