Web Comic Book help

Hello
Can anyone suggest a good way to put up a web comic? Is there a program or plugin that can navigate the Previous / Next buttons? Or do I need to create this on my own in iWeb? I have played around with the slideshow option, but the image size too small.
I need a simple way of doing this. I can draw, write, etc, but ask me about HTML I am clueless.
Any help here would be great.
Thank you.

I can think of two possible ways you could add your comic book(s) to iWeb.
1 - use Issuu.com. An example of an online document can be seen here.
2 - a similar effect can be had using the PageFlip flash presentation (sort of like Issuu) as shown in this demo page: PageFlip.
I think Issuu would be easier to use although I've not used it. Roddy as an example of a PDF thru Issuu this this page of his iWeb for Musicians site: Publish a Promo PDF on ISSUU. Music optional of course.
Or you can put one comic page on an iWeb page and create your own text based hyperlinks to the next or previous page.
In case you might be interested in some flash types of presentations:
SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
Jalbum - has over 100 different themes/skins for presentation.

Creating manga comic book black background (help)

hi all. new user here.
i have to create a 24 x 36 inch posterboard and i want to put /images/ "in" /cells/ like in a manga comic book. basically i want to have variously sized and variously proportioned WHITE AREAS (with a slightly rounded corners, not square) and then the area between these cells (for instance 1/8" spacing) to be all black.
then I would place images /behind/ the white rounded cells.
does that make sense? I have had success doing a normal board on an all white background (with some help) while using the demo of InDesign and I am wondering if anyone can help me get started with a description of how I might do this and some Adobe InDesign terminilogy that goes along with this so I can read up about the commands in the Help documentation.
thanks in advance for any help with this.

Your background is going to be an "unassigned" frame (drawn with the rectangle tool -- the one without the X in it). Do you understand bleed? As far as the fill color, that would depend on how this is going to be printed, and if there is other color on the page. It will look better as a "rich black" which is a four-color mix, but you pay more for four-color prints than just black and white. If you are using a rich black, the exact formula can vary widly depending on the printing method (and I would ask the printer for a recommendation), but a pretty "safe" mix would be 50c, 40m, 40y, 80k. You will want to put this on its own layer at the bottom of the stack and lock the layer to avoid inadvertently using the frame to hold something (see below). you can create this first, then make a new layer on top, or do it last and drag it to the bottom of the stack.
Your image frames are drawn with the frame tool (the one WITH the X) . You could create an Object Style for them that includes the corner effect to save time. Frames drawn with the frame tool do not respect stroke and fill settings, but one of the nice things about ID is that your unassigned frames can be used to hold text or graphics, so you can also add a fill color to the object style and use the Shape tool (the same one you use for the background) instead of the frame tool if you find you need the white fill. And yes, you can copy and paste these smaller frames, or add them to a library, or save some sizes as snippets in a folder to drag into your poster. You can save a "blank" poster (just the background and the empty "cells" as a template and use the same layout for as many posters as you like, too.
You will Place the images into the cells, unless you need to combine text and image (not already combined in the image) in the cell. For that you would place the image someplace convenient, like the pasteboard,and add text in a text frame or a text frame you've drawn to look like a speech baloon, then position the two as you want them relative to each other, select both, group, cut, select the cell frame, and "paste into."
You'll find the online help at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/index.html
I also recommend you buy a copy of Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide to InDesign since you seem to be a real beginner.

HELP NEEDED with flash interactive comic book

Hi folks
I am really stuck here.
I am creating an interactive comic book for college. I want a menu, which will house all four issues of the comic series. When you click and drag an issue to the drag area I want that issue of the comic to appear. Then all I need is a button to turn the pages. Pressing the final turn page button will return to the main menu again. If someone can help me Id appreciate it as this thing needs to be in for monday/tuesday.

At this stage I've only been able to make the issue snap to the read me button but I have no idea how to make sure that action leads to the first page of that comic issue.

Photo Booth Comic Book Effect Problem

Hi...
Well I write this because I think I've got a problem with Photo Booth's comic book effect... Thing is that when I use this effect before the picture is taken it all looks good... but after I take the picture it looks horrible, like too white... not like a normal comic book effect pic (I've seen my friends' pictures using this effect and they look good) I've tried using "shift+enter" to prevent the screen from flashing but it doesn't change the bad quality of the effect...
Does anybody know why this is happening?

Thank you for your response... but I've already thought about my clothes' color or background color or even light... if it's too bright or too dim... but nothing seems to fix the bad effect... I've tried bright light, not so bright, incandescent, fluorescent, light colored clothes, dark clothes! nothing helps, I've repaired permissions, I think I've even "uninstalled" photobooth and then got it back from the CD... it is just defective... I kinda hate this cause comic book effect is one of my favorites!... I wish someone else could help... I know I'm not the only one with this kind of prob cause I read this very same problem on yahoo answers...

Photo Booth Comic Book effect weirdness.

When I use the Comic book effect in Photo Booth, the black lines turn white in the saved image.
The effect displays properly live and saves properly when taking video, but when taking a picture, black lines turn white. Black dot tone stays black and actually black objects remain black, but linework created by the effect saves as white.
Any clues?

Comic book look

I'm trying to figure out how to give a comic book look to some of my footage. I'm NOT trying to do the cartoon effect seen on TV for some financial company, but the look of a comic book.
I've applied the half tone filter to one layer which gives me the print look. I've applied a layer above that and have been working with every filter I can think of but I'm just not getting what I want. I've tried vectorizing, reducing the number of colors, boosting levels . . .on and on.
Can anybody help me narrow this down? In addition to all of the standard Motion/FCP filters, I've also got Boris Continuum Complete 4.
(BTW, I know that FX Factory Pro has an excellent Comic Book plug in, but I don't have the $$$$$$ to buy that software at this point.)

Thanks for the info, Les.
According to the review, the filter DOES work in Motion as well as FCP. Looking at the demos on the Digital Anarchy site, I'm quite impressed by the quality and flexibility of this plugin.
However, there are two things that make me hesitant . . .
1) According to the review, the plugin is painstakingly slow. PAINSTAKINGLY!
2) At $299, this is out of my price range as an amateur.
If you can look past those two items, this DOES seem to be a high quality product.
For now, I'm getting some very good results with Patrick's plugin . . .the more I experiment, the better quality I'm getting.

Adobe for making comic book pages

Best Adobe product for me?
Afternoon, I am a graphic novel writer & comic designer.
I have been told that many of Adobe's products can be used
to create drafts for comic book pages. But some people tell me
Illustrator is the best, others say In Design is the way to go and
I have even heard Photoshop works as well. I guess I am just
look for some advice from a Adobe expert. What Adobe product would you recommend to use for making comic book pages?

Well, definitely not Acrobat (this is the Acrobat forum).
Pros don't use one program, and a huge beginner mistake is to try and find that one program that pros use and then try to do everything in it. All three of the products you mention are used:
Photoshop - raster drawing; dealing with scans; preparing web graphics
Illustrator - vector drawing and decorative text
InDesign - not an artists tool, used to assemble content make in Photoshop and Illustrator, and create bodies of text.
Some artists design on the computer (which is every bit as artistic, but a different skill than working on paper)
Some artists design on paper and just scan
Some mix, e.g. outline on paper, colour and letter on screen.
I recommend an introductory hands-on course where you get to see the basics of all three.

EPub comic book possible?

Hi guys,
I've been experimenting with Pages' ePub powers and wonder if there is a way to create a comic book, using my artwork. Thanks for any help.

Red Giant's Toon-It is what should do it but it's not compatible with CS5. I know it says there is an update coming 'Summer Time' but that's been there for months and now summer is over!!! I assume it's not going to be available unless you use CS4. Shame - they make such good stuff.
Just noticed they have a good new denoiser.

How do you add pictures instead of video into the comic book theme?

I'm doing a project for school and I have to use the comic book theme in iMovie. In the box above the text where you would usually add a movie or video, I want to put photos. How do I do that? Thanks

Does it allow you to drag a photo into that window? Try it with a picture out of iPhoto maybe and see if it will allow you to drop it into the placeholder area.

My ipad mini doesn't have a web browser! Help. I can't access the internet or iTunes or the app store. The web browser icon isn't even there.Anyone know what to do?

I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
All else fails? Restore it.
