WELL worth every $$, 2008-02-23
I hesitated at plunking down $200 for this program, but the online reviews (not just here) were just too hard to ignore, as well as the demo version I had on my PC.
I've been using Manga Studio EX for almost a year, and It's been exactly what I was looking for in digital art production. I'll never go back to paper & pen again for drawing or even sketching; why bother when I can do the entire thing right on my computer screen? The 'rough' layout and final layout versions make the idea of mistakes laughable. I actually learn much more from them and are thus able to quickly correct them than if I'd done the sketching on paper.
While it's true that MS Ex doesn't employ colorization, I don't feel this takes away from the software's appeal at all. The conversion to .jpeg & other file formats easily recognized by Photoshop (my personal choice) & other editing programs will make it appear quite seamless. Also, the ability to put in captions & balloons so easily was a great Plus for me. With Manga Studio I'm actually able to see a comic page from the blank white screen to colored completion with minimal fuss.
My only warning would be to watch the file sizes as your comic pages get more detailed; my PC isn't new, but I have plenty of free space & adequate RAM (512) but saw some slowing in response time as the pages were filled w/ detailed drawings.
The best part about buying this from Amazon (as another reviewer posted) is that you get BOTH versions on a single disc; once I can afford a Mac station, you better believe Manga Studio EX is gonna be the 1st program installed!
