Bramble Vine Comics

This past Friday I picked up a copy of Apple's new OS, Leopard. Unfortunately I ran into a whole bunch of technical issues during the upgrade that may have something to do with my slightly older hardware. Luckily the Apple using community are a smart bunch and after several trips to the Apple support forums and one visit to my local Apple Genius bar I am up and running just fine. Well, almost.

Leopard has broken the version of PhotoShop I use! I can't really fault Apple for that since it isn't their software and admittedly my version is over 5 years old, but still ... crap. Since all my comic work goes through PhotoShop to get it scanned in, add the text and to get it ready for print and online posting I'm sort of dead in the water here. Getting a new version is hardly an option since it costs over $600.00. How can an entire operating system that runs everything in the computer cost just over $100, but this one program costs six times that? I don't get it.

Anyway, I'm looking at my options now on how to proceed. I'll need to figure something out if I want to continue my cartooning endeavor here. And I do!
