If you can, get someone to open the file on a different workstation with the file on an ssd, with tonnes of ram and a better cpu. Need to back up the file now since i'm now worried about this i hope your daughter gets to recover her file ok, tell her not to give up! it will hopefully work! Often i find i can get it to complete by clicking on the switch-apps button thingy in windows 10 (that shows all the different apps open), switch to something else and then come back to it and give it a bit more time. If you find this useful and/or you have friends who need this information please share it with them.I'm in a similar boat (at least not for opening yet), i have a large comic that i just draw all the pages in a single file (like your daughter) and it's getting really slow to save and load (esp off sd card), i've often hit the stalling thing too. Now you have the very basic I’m heading to my desk and create the second part as fast as I possibly can. You will already recognize that there are a lot of rulers used. (Not yet finished at the time of writing this). The graphic in the background at the end of the video is by the way the Detroit Skyline that is part of the first panel of the openings scene of my graphic novel Wallstreet Hijack.

They work just with the particular layer they are created with but they update automatically if the artwork on the layer is moved. The advantage and disadvantages of the sub-ruler layers are the opposite of the ruler layer for the whole page. In fact they are created with every layer you create, you just have to make them visible like I describe in the video above. The second type of rulers are the sub-ruler-layers. The disadvantage of this is that if you move the artwork on one of those layers the ruler layer will not automatically adjust. A ruler you create here will work with many layers what is an obvious advantage. If you have a look at the layer panel in Manga Studio you will see the section Ruler.

The basic facts are that every layer is created on a so called ruler layer. Some of course are more special and complex. Just as in the good old real world drawing they have the purpose of placing them on the paper (digitally paper in this case) and drawing lines along them.

I think explaining it in little chunks will make it much easier and will convince you to give it a shot whilst creating your artwork.įirst off you have to know that there are different kind of rulers. Probably you leave out this great tools altogether because of the complexity of it. For me reason enough to do my very best to lower yours! The reason for this is the learning curve. To less people make actually use of one of the coolest features in Manga Studio: the ruler layers.
