Using your Camera

For spontaneous comic fun, you can use your computer's built-in camera to take pictures of yourself and the people with you. The camera produces images that are perfect for a fun personal project or other spur of the moment creation.

    To take a picture:
  1. Click on the Camera tab in the Photo Browser.

    This displays the camera interface

  2. Adjust the sliders to improve the quality of the image. If artificial lights add an unnatural tone to your picture, use the temperature control to correct the color balance. On Windows double-click on the preview to access similar controls.
  3. When you're happy with your picture, just drag it into your comic.
  4. Or click Freeze when you've captured the perfect pose. Then drag the "frozen" picture into the comic at your leisure.
Note: you're not limited to the built-in camera. If you have more than one camera attached, you can choose which one Comic Life should use on the Preferences | Options window.
