Hardrive BADDDDD!
Well I have had a complet hardrive faiure on my pc. The essential files were backed up… Somewhere. Can’t seem to find them, or at least all of them. Among the files I can’t seem to find is my photoshop cd. Not that this clunker I am using right now could run photoshop. This is a problem because I can’t letter the comic if I don’t have a photo editing tool. I am going to give gimp a try but there is going to be a delay in the comic as I try to piece things back together.
If you need someone to letter your comics, shoot me an e-mail; I have Photoshop and I can do it while you get your computer back on its’ feet. It should be on this comment on the comicpress back end. If not, comment here and I’ll give you my skype account.
Howdy! Sorry for your HDD. Hope you find your stuff.
In the mean time have you treid The GIMP? http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/
Couldn’t Paint (shudder) or the artist letter it for you? Just out of curiosity.
The GIMP isn’t bad, I’ve used it a bunch for manipulating model boat plans. Not sure if it’s got close to as many fonts as PS, but it’ll do the trick in a pinch.
I’ve found GIMP to be great for photo manip and painting, but I’ve had issues getting it to do things like simple shape creation. I had a similar computer failure and you have my sympathies – I hope you can find everything and that GIMP is able to provide what you need.
I stand corrected.
The king isn’t just a dick; he’s a douchebag of demigod intensity.
How “dead” is the drive? Might be worth aiming TestDisk at it (then PhotoRec if that fails), assuming a PC can still at least detect its presence.
Try Paint.NET instead of The GIMP: http://www.getpaint.net/index.html
From the website: “Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP”
Tiffany, has been a bad influence on the princess. 🙂
