      Saving it would merge all layers into something very different from what I was seeing while drawing. I use Sketchbook pro, not sure what I was doing wrong.

      Are you using a free version that doesn't let you save in layers? Seems strange it would flatten everything down on saving.

        Sketchbook usually lets me save in layers without issue. I mean, I thought it did?

        It's all free now, but I'm using a light version that works better on my Surfacebook2. I'll try opening the file in the other version I have...

        I've been toying with the idea of getting Clipstudio, and learning the ropes on that. I doubt a publisher would be thrilled to receive my .tif files from Sketchbook

          @kylebeaudette If you're going to be manufacturing graphic novels then clip studio is worth it for its balloon, panel, and text tools alone. It's VERY good. Super easy to learn if you're familiar with other paint software, too.

                As far as I knew, you can open up the tif files in Photoshop and it did keep the layers, but I haven't tested it to know what does and doesn't work. But yeah they definitely would need to know to open it that way so it's be a pain πŸ™‚

                    I've settled on bubble style, fonts and sound effects. Gonna try and see this through πŸ˜ƒ

                          @kylebeaudette I like you style. It’s like texture meets graphic design and brings in line along for the ride.
