Works with Paint Shop Pro,

This review is from: How To Draw Manga Computones Volume 1: Basic Tone Techniques (Paperback)
I just got this book; the previous reviewers' guidance was a big help on the CD serial number, and the tones plugin is pretty nice (although the tones included with this book tend to be very basic; now I want to buy the other Computones volumes hoping for more special effect tones).
I was taking a bit of a chance when I bought this. I wasn't *totally* sure I could use the plugin because the image was too small to read the fine print in the compatible software box on the cover, so here's what it says: "Compatible Plug-in Modules for Adobe Photoshop 4.0~7.0, Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0, Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.0~8.0". The gamble paid off for me since I'm a PSP 8 user, but I wanted to post that info in a review so others wouldn't have to gamble. ^_~

How to get the CD-Rom serial # to work,
By
This review is from: How To Draw Manga Computones Volume 1: Basic Tone Techniques (Paperback)
The book looks great and the instructions are very informative. I was really looking forward to using this book until I tried installing the Computones Plug-In for Photoshop CS.
The Computones/Photoshop Plug-In did successfully install but the Serial # located in the front of the book does not unlock the Computones Filter. This makes the lessons in the book completely useless until it is fixed by either Graphic-Sha or CelSys Inc. Fortunately, I was able to contact Graphic-Sha, the publisher, and they said they have the correct Serial # at: www dot graphicsha dot co dot jp/Info/index_compu dot html

I ran into the same problem, and went to their website as per previous comment. Basically, you have to leave out the second hyphen (-), but also
!! the letters must be ALL CAPS. !! Otherwise, when it works, it's actually really nice!
