4.0 out of 5 stars Manga Studio EX Pro (Mac), Great Potential!, February 14, 2007

I purchased Manga Studio EX Pro primarily as a money and time saver. Screentone is expensive, and rendering the zillions of lines that manga-style artwork requires consumed too much time and energy. While I haven't had a lot of time with the program to date, what I have done with it so far is very promising. The scanning interface is painless and the menus reminiscent of Photoshop, which makes the learning curve that much less steep for me. I am very glad to have found this product, and am so far quite impressed. Rah, e frontier!

This program has much potential. I was very disappointed to learn that even though they stated that it was compatible w/the leapord, it's not. My IBook is Tiger, but the IMac isn't and so I decided to return the program.
