And THANKS SO VERY MUCH!!! I want to love MSEX5, but the Trail Version leaves me disgruntled. This is about comparison – so please only answer if you’ve used both.

Or is MSEX5 just a fancier version of Sketchbook Pro and SAI? But I can’t help but miss my EX4 balloon folder, with all it’s lovely pre-drawn balloons, and their easily altered, curved tails. The only one I even liked was the option to hand draw your balloon. Making panels and word balloons looks much more tedious now. Now, it was a fairly crippled version because it’s only a Trail, but it looks to me like they improved the hell out of their brushes, made Manga Studio a far more powerful ART tool … but weakened severely the comic creating aspect of it. I was really excited, because of the advances I’d heard regarding the brushes. Manga Studio EX 5: I’ve downloaded and played with Smith Micro’s idea of what Manga Studio EX5 should be. And there is no real way to blend colors. MS’s inking and pencil tools are great, but that’s where it’s strengths stop. Making panels, adding tones, creating word balloons becomes amazingly easy, better than any other program I’ve tried. It has the best comic creating engine that I’ve ever seen. The Radial Symmetry feature has been part of Manga Studio since version 5.0, but it’s slightly complex to get started with it if you’ve never.
