Thanks again everyone, much appreciate the info!

I did have a couple more questions typed out, but lost them! :-( I'll try to remember them and put them in bold below.....

The Pixar style characters are very cool, nice work!  It did get me thinking about upgrading. :-)  I'm an older guy, so when I think of comics that I'd like to create, I tend to think (most of the time) of the ones I grew up with that look more 2D, like Bugs Bunny, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, etc...you get the idea. Aside from creating 2D characters using your method and the characters in Poser or Anime, if I am even successful at drawing some 2D tooney characters from scratch in MS5, will I have to keep drawing them over and over from scratch every time I need a different expression or pose? Or does anyone here know of some kind of shortcut for that?

How about backgrounds, any suggestions on how to produce them fairly quickly instead of drawing them from scratch all the time? I realize I'll have to do some drawing, but I'm just trying to save time.

As for upgrading Poser, it would depend which would be cheaper, the poser upgrade or buying Anime, since either program would be able to use the method you've described in your photo tutorial...in Anime Studio, can anyone tell me if the Character Creation Wizard would be something that would speed up the process of making 2D toon-type characters from scratch that I could export and use in MS5 ?

As for Comic Creator having jpegs, I don't know, but I do know it only exports in PDF.  Unless there is a way to convert PDF images to Jpegs that someone may know of? I don't know if Adobe PDF viewer will do that, anyone know?

Thanks Vascania, good to know there is some content out there I can get, much appreciated.

I do understand the biggest difference between MS5 and MS5 EX, in that EX can do full books, don't think I'll need that right now.

All great info, thanks again, will check back here in awhile.
