Smith Micro Manga Studio EX 5.0

Smith Micro Software’s Manga Studio EX is a paid application that acts as a canvas for computer artists.

 This product provides a collection of tools for creating “manga” (it is a Japanese term for “comic book”) just like the professionals do. Users can play with more than 3,000 screen tones and unlimited frames or layers. The designers of Manga Studio EX recommend that artists use a pen tablet or a light pen as it will give users the feeling that they are writing on paper.

 The Story Editor function allows artists to place their text in conversation bubbles or narratives to complement the special effects like importing 3D objects.
