Yeesh, two months already? Well, that’s what I get for worrying about how to properly review Manga Studio 4, and not actually review it. You’d think that after writing a book, that writing a simple essay on if I like the program or not would be easy. Guess not.
So why should you upgrade to Version […]

Just wanted everyone to know (if you don’t know already) that Manga Studio 4 has been released to the public. I’ve had the opportunity to beta-test the program the last couple of months, and now that I’m free to talk about it, I’ll post a detailed review of the program this week.
The short version is […]

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that if you’re going to be at the San Diego comic-Con, be sure to stop by the Smith Micro Booth (Booth #4516). They will be demonstrating the soon to be released Manga Studio 4!
Tell ‘em I sent ya.

Sadly, I wasn’t able to make it to the New York Comic Con this year, but I was happy to hear from a friend of mine that the book was seemingly all over the place, and selling pretty well, to boot!
So, I just wanted to drop a quick note thanking you guys for purchasing […]

In the Dealing With Cursor Offset post, I noted that I was didn’t know how to delete the preference file for a Wacom tablet driver on a Mac. Not long after I posted that, Andy Bold sent me an e-mail that may help you Mac users out:
I’ve never seen this problem myself, but I can […]

If you have (or want) to change the resolution of your monitor, there’s a good chance you’ll run into a very odd problem when you try drawing in Manga Studio with a Wacom tablet (I can’t speak for other tablet brands because I don’t own any other tablet brands. ).
If you switch resolution or […]

I noticed the other day that Manga Studio For Dummies broke the top 10,000 ranking and was ranked 15th in a couple of specialized categories. Like a moron, however, I didn’t think to take a screenshot for posterity before it started going back down. Whoops.
That said, thanks so much to all of you who have […]

As I was flipping though the book, I noticed a mistake that slipped by me. on Page 316, where it says:
1. From the main menu, choose Ruler -> Create Focus Lines Ruler,
it should read:
1. From the main menu, choose Ruler -> Create Perspective Ruler.
I’m sure you already figured that out […]

Hopefully you didn’t throw out the CD that came with the book, as there are additional chapters that didn’t make it to the final cut. Two of the chapters cover some of the more advanced features of Manga Studio EX, including using Vectors for your line work, as well as importing 2D and 3D objects […]

Part of the idea for this site is to hopefully answer questions that either weren’t covered in the book, or weren’t expanded upon enough due to book-size constraints. So, if there’s something in the book that has you confused (or isn’t in the book at all), head on over to the Contact page, and ask […]
