Preface

Hello and welcome to the Manga Studio EX 5 Cookbook! This book is set up to give you "recipes" to complete tasks in Manga Studio EX 5—from creating pages, to using vector layers, to exporting your finished project. I hope that this book will become an invaluable resource in your library and that you'll look at it often when you can't remember the steps to do something in this amazing art software. I also hope that you'll use the techniques and tips presented in these pages to inspire you to create your own techniques and to streamline your workflow.

You may have purchased this book even though you don't have Manga Studio EX 5. Perhaps you have Manga Studio 5 and are looking to see if you should upgrade to the EX version? Thankfully, most of this book will apply to the Manga Studio 5 version of the software, but there are several exciting and time-saving features that are only available in the EX version.

If you have purchased my first book, Mastering Manga Studio 5, Packt Publishing, these two books work very well together!
