- Funktioniert dieses Programm auch in Kombi mit einem Zeichenboard? Habe im Internet mal nachgelesen, wobei hier oft das Problem bei Vielen war, das das Zeichenboard nicht richtig funktioniert hat...
Hoffe Sie können mir da weite helfen... - Hallo,
kommt auf das Zeichenboard darauf an. Eigentlich funktionieren die meisten. Von Wacom ist alles kompatibel!

- Kann man den auch andere Stile wie die von den Cartoon SonicX damit malen?
- Hallo,
Manga Studio 4 ist ein Programm das Tools zu Verfügung stellt. Es hilft und erleichtert beim zeichnen, aber was Sie damit zeichnen wollen oder welchen Zeichenstil Sie benutzen, hängt von Ihren Fertigkeiten ab.

- Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
ich habe leider einen alten Mac G4 mit 400 MHz. Kann ich Manga Studio EX trotzdem verwenden?
Vielen herzlich Dank für die Information.
Peter Braun - Es werden 500 MHz empfohlen, ob das mit 400 MHz flüssig laufen wird können wir Ihnen nicht garantieren.

- Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
wir interessieren uns für ihr Produkt Manga Studio 4 Debut.
Dazu haben wir allerdings noch zwei Fragen:
Ist ein Upgrade von Debut 4 auf Ex 4 möglich und wenn ja, zu welchem Preis ?
Besteht die Möglichkeit mit der Maus zu zeichnen oder nur mit einem Grafik-Tablet ?
- Ein Upgrade von Debut 4 auf Ex 4 wird definitiv möglich sein. Genaue Preise habe ich leider noch keine erhalten, werde diese aber dann umgehend in unser Shop System übernehmen. Und natürlich können Sie im Programm mit der Maus zeichnen. Die Graphic Tablets bieten nur die Möglichkeit Ihre Arbeit zu erleichtern, Voraussetzung sind sie aber nicht. (om)
- Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
