Saving a Custom Template
If you've created a comic with page layouts and styles that you'd like to use again in the future, you can save the comic as a template by choosing File->Save As Template.... But before doing this, run through the following checklist (it will save you trouble when you come to use the template in the future)
Creating and saving a custom template:
- Save a copy of your comic to use as the master of your template design.
- Make sure you're using the copy and not the original!
- Remove any pages that have duplicate layouts—there should only be pages with unique layouts remaining.
- Remove any photos from the remaining panels (unless you want these images to always be part of new comics).
- Eliminate any unused styles or styles you don't like from the Style Browser.
- Now save the comic (File->Save).
- And save the comic as a template (File->Save as Template...).
- The template should appear in the My Templates area of the Template Browser.
- Create a comic from your template. It should be ready to fill with your content.
- If you're not happy with the template, go back to step 2.
