Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I'm just starting to use this software, but from what I've seen, it's worth the money. Conceivably, you could do an entire comic from start to finish, from pencils, to inks, to coloring, to lettering, with this program and never have to touch pen to paper. Plus, if you register it online, you get extra content for free. However, i wouldn't entertain the thought of buying or using this unless I had a pen tablet. not sure how you could use this with any efficiency without one. Debut doesn't have a vector option, as the more negative reviews state, but if you are like me and just love to draw comics for fun, then that's something you probably won't miss. I draw comics as a ministry, so i want to do a good job. I think this is definitely a useful tool. There may be a slight learning curve at first, but there's tutorials found online that can help you figure it out pretty quick. the menu interface is very very similar to Photoshop, which made it pretty easy for me. You probably won't be disappointed with this. just my two cents.
