Goblyn Issue 24a
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This has been a pretty miserable week as far as making
comics and using technology goes.
CS3 decided to stop working on me again. Seems like this
happens once a year.
So I was forced to use Photoshop 6, which isn’t all bad
except I have no texture brushes, not image warping and as I found out while
colouring I have lost the ability to do many of the layer effects I had been
doing over the last few issues.
I dunno… adobe is doing this new thing where they have set
up a cloud network and you can technically rent their programs on a monthly
basis. It’s kind of awesome. That means that now anyone can use photoshop… technically. I mean it’s a little weird
because after like a year or so you have basically paid for a copy of a program
but you don’t get to keep it. But adobe has been introducing new versions of
their software so fast it’s like you’re just upgrading to a new version as it
comes out anyway.
Does any of that logic make sense?
I hate losing the ability I’ve become so comfortable with
over the last few years.
I keep trying to reload it but it tells me it has repaired the problem, and when I launch the program I get the same old error. With PS6 I still at least have the ability to colour, that’s a good thing. But wow is version 6 nerfed compared to CS3. They made so many advanced, so many changes. The UI alone is more comfortable in later versions. PS6 is very clunky to get around in. it feels very tight and Closter phobic. But I’ll survive, for now. I may go mad in the long run though.
