How to import sketch and making panel in Manga Studio

[mertoness]

( debut verson) I try and import a picture but it always says' 'no items match your search' even though I'm in my photo folder

[jstanl]

Explain to me why when you import images, you can't see them?

[rukiazero169]

just read your manga the moment after i watched this vid. Now i know what Rhysmyth is. XD anyways, your manga is awesome, i find it's plot interesting.

[Netbat63]

got to be you dude! i like ur draws, ur cool, tnx

[ghede13]

This may have been asked before, but what format is your imported image in? I've tried .jpg, .png, .pbm, and none seem to be readable to my manga studio. I bought this thing to make the comic process easier, but it's been doing nothing but chapping my ass!

[thesharpenedblade]

what is the rectangle inside the rectangle

[thesharpenedblade]

whats your manga called

[pencilkillerouch]

@thesharpenedblade It's call Rhysmyth from Tokyopop. :)

[urolz20]

@pencilkillerouch wer can i read it??????????

[thesharpenedblade]

why do you expand the panels

[tornfairywings6]

.....I'm not really sure if this was all that helpful. I'm still very confused. (Guess I'll go to the website)

[subaru2022]

got it ^^ thank you

what about the size ? could you give me the width and height please

[subaru2022]

and is it right to make the page 12.5 / 19 cm ? is the size ok for the manga ?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR TUTORIAL , I VISIT YOUR WEBSITE AND IT WAS VERY VERY USEFUL FOR BEGINNER LIKE ME ^^

[subaru2022]

have you published your manga yet ? cos I am new in that and I want your advice

should I re size the page after I finish my work ? or it should be before add tone and stuff ? because I hear from my friend that if I re size the page after finishing, it will effect on the tone accuracy >> I don't know what to do

[pencilkillerouch]

@subaru2022 Yes, you should re-size the page to the final print size before adding tone. My manga is published by Tokyopop. You can find it on Amazon or Tokyopop website. :)

How do I change the panel line size when doing it on a panel ruler layer?

[nico4nis]

can someone help me?my cursor transformed in that stupid hand and i can't get rid of it.plz tell me what to do!

[PoizennIvy]

thats a glitch of photshop :s

try restarting it or pressing the spacebar :)

[rsanto09]

This is a way better than drawing the panels yourself -_-'

[doubleMEW]

thank you thank you thank you thank you!

^^ I was searching everywhere how to expand Panels! thank you so much! O_O

[AshleyKim01]

How come I can't use the panel ruler layer? D:

[jesseanime1]

thank you for the pirate info arrrg but i dont really want to get it from the black market LOL thanks anyway.

but i was still wondering when im using the drawing part of manga studio i cant use color

[jesseanime1]

i have the demo and i want the full version but i dont want to pay $200 so is there a full version download

[judasatan]

There is the black market version you can get. I heard pirates can get it for you pretty cheap. Arrgh! Be careful of the ones with the peg legs, they tell long stories.

[animeshen]

This was very helpful! Thank you!

[shojoboi]

your awsome! Are you published! I'm your fan!

[Queenie8393]

When I do that, mine says "File format not supported!" How do I fix that?

[SyaoranandEichifan]

Ah, I was wondering how to import stuff, thanks ^-^ But, whenever I import my sketched pics and stuff, it always shows up, then the lines become really faint, and I can only make out the darker lines of my sketch D: Does anyone know how to make it focus on the picture normally?

[Redstar95]

I think i know what u mean, i jst bought this yesterday, and when i imported it, i couldnt see it clearly, ok, well what i did was when u import ur picture, a box will pop up right ,labled properties. There are tabs on this box, it should be on the Position adjust tab, click the one to the left of that,:the image tab,then go to layer type, it must be on raster layer, but it SHOULD be on sketch layer, so click it and change it to sketch layer. I rly hoped this helpd :D

[SyaoranandEichifan]

Ah, yes, it worked! Yes! Thankyou so much!! ^-^

[Redstar95]

:D yeah! I'm so glad i could help, ur very welcome!

[RobbeyT]

Just bought Debute 4, and was getting too frustrated with the so called "user manual and quick start guide".!! It goes on about the EX version at lot, which is not useful at all.. (Unless it's a case of "look what you could have, you mean sod!")...

This Video helped a lot, and I wish Smith Micro could do these types of tutorial on YouTube, hopefully keeping the lessons restricted to both Manga Studio Debute AND EX separately!!

[wodalzz]

how do you decide the thickness of the panels??? I've no idea!

[dudewitgunz]

hey umm does any professional manga artist actully made money making manga's with this software 100 semms like a big investment for a program that lets you import pictures =P

[senatorpadme]

i have debut, and for some reason it wont let me import anything. help?

[Elleron77]

i've got somewhat the same problem, what's yours do? mine lets me get it on the page but it never lets me modify the size if the imported picture

[senatorpadme]

it doesn't read the scans, if i save the file it refuses to select anything, i don't know what to do! :(

and the changing the size? forget it! I'm so lost on that thing...

[Elleron77]

i'd say its a printer problem do you go to file, import,Twain then it scans it? i think that it's file anyway...

[donoghu]

If you have the debut version : There are the restrictions :

For PC : Only jpeg and bmp format is working in importing.

For MAC : bmp, jpg, psd, tga, pict and tiff

At least, that's what's saying inside the box.

[senatorpadme]

I know, but it won't let me open ANYTHING. It's all just grayed out, even the jpg, bmp, and picts, everything.

*sigh* it's very frustrating.

but thanks for your help

[HyperKenji]

Um...I just got debut 4 :D

But its not letting me import anything jpeg related D:

Only cpg and i have no idea how to save anything as that :P

[Redstar95]

lol

[LittleLostPig]

Thanks!

[animationDude7272]

that was gud ^_^

[shadox9x]

hey d u guys hav da full version??? if so then pls tell me where u got it...thnx :D

[ToFuStrife]

i bought mine off the official website. it's best to pay for such a great program

[badkiller2]

bite me...

[donoghu]

I totally agree... And if I find someone identity who's using something like this, making money off it... well... I know that this someone will have his ass kicked.

This program is one which cost the less and offer a great deal, even the debut version!

It only cost me approx. 100$, while living in one of the most taxable country on earth for the debut version. (52$ for the product, 28$ for shipping outside US, 16$ for the shipping in the country)

[Flameshadow1010]

you could download it off of a torrent, but the file itself, you gotta extract it using magicISO

[Flameshadow1010]

is there any significant difference between EX and Debut?

[Kafaru]

Debut has 1800 tones and EX has 3000 tones

[Flameshadow1010]

then i'm glad i got EX

[RamenNoodlesFan]

also EX has a more complicated interface which allows you to control the style of your materials more precisely

[donoghu]

On top of that, Ex allows you to put and control colors which Debut is restricted to black&white tones. And Ex is able to handle some more types of files and offer greater professionnal options like the control over the PDF creation and control of inks and printing preferences.

Wish I could have it...

[valor93]

it would be better to learn if you would have a spoken tutorial. but nice job though.

[RamenNoodlesFan]

I agree

[hanz101]

this may be a dumb question, but why do you expand the panels?

[tamahoo]

eeeh i wold like to know if your manga studio is the ''debut'' or ''EX'' pls ^^''

[pencilkillerouch]

It is EX version. But most function is same under EX and debut, only EX have some extra. :) The basic work flow is the same.

[tamahoo]

thx^^ now I have manga studio EX and I so like it :DDD

[NMRA]

essentially they pretty much both have what you need, debut has a few less handy tools but nothing important. the only thing you lose out on is the cool pressure sensitivity when working with a graphics tablet. its not as good with debut

[Mardichia]

well Panels are simple I guess XD

but I have a qeustion about the sketch and inkt?? I import a image and make a new layer for the inkting but when I select the pen/marker/pencil or something else it stays bu the hand ??? the program does as if I did not select something else ->.-> man this is not funT.T anyone can help me?

[pencilkillerouch]

Make sure you are on the drawing layer but not the sketch layer for the import image. :)

[joesinister]

Question why is it that i cant import Jpeg into Manga studio?

[joesinister]

What i ment to ask was why cant i OPEN jpegs in manga studio?

[pencilkillerouch]

You need to create a new page first, then go to file>import > image file> and select the jpg file you want to import. Hope it's helps.

[joesinister]

Many thanks!It helps very much!

[NoxGodess13]

YAY! ty so much for this tutorial. I just got he program yesterday and was helplessly lost :)

[RyuuYareYare]

thanks, this helps allot!

[tman2max]

Is this for debut or the pro version? Sweet tutorial, you wouldn't happen to do request would you?

[mahoutsukai67]

>_< thanks you soo much for this! I have the program but cannot really use it because I dont know how lol Ive looked at the manual thats under the help windiw but its useless at times lol

[pencilkillerouch]

Glad you like it. I will upload more videos when I have time to make. :)

[95A1140]

That was the exact situation I was in when I used this program. And yup that manual is useless.

[maverickhunter24]

keep at it you'll get it.............
