Looking for a good Manga Maker Program or editing software

27 Jul 2010, 5:48 PM#1

Trying to finish putting my manga together before publishing and the dinosaur of a paint shop pro program I love to use just isn't what I need to finish my manga, though its great for doing touch ups and coloring, I need something more professional. Anyone have any suggestions for programs specifically for manga/manga editing?

There's always manga studio, but you'd need to torrent it. I don't think there are really any free programs that are designed for that.

You can also use photoshop, there are a lot of decent tutorials focused on making manga. C:

Definetly! XD I really hope it takes off once I get it published, sure it'll be an OEL(original english language) manga but who knows? Maybe if I'm luck it'll have a TV series too XD but thats wishful thinking lol
