It works well with monochrome backgrounds, or background where the colors are solids (not gradients), but on photos with busy backgrounds, the tool isn’t so instant-you must do more work to get rid of that background without affecting the primary subject of the image.

For example, the new Instant Alpha tool promises to erase the background of an image. There are also, however, improvements that will appeal to all Comic Life users, especially in the app’s image-editing tools. You can then drag and drop the icons into your comic and easily adjust the formatting to your liking.

When the Script Editor recognizes a keyword (Comic Life has a set of default keywords, but you can also add your own), it creates an icon specific to that keyword that appears in an icon column on the left side of your script. For example, If you type a person’s name, Comic Life recognizes that you want to format the text as speech and will put it in a speech bubble. The Script Editor uses keywords to automatically format the text in the proper way. But if you want to tell more detailed, complicated stories, Comic Life now has a Script Editor to help you form your comic’s storyline. It’s likely that most folks use Comic Life to throw a few pictures together to create simple, humorous anecdotes, and the app works well for that. Comic Life 3 now supports two-up page viewing. Version 3, Comic Life offers more features geared toward people who have a serious interest in storytelling using the comic book medium. For over eight years, Plasq’s Comic Life has provided an easy way to present your photos and other images in comic book form.
