Awesome, thanks for the update!
Re: Cutting tool when editing frames?
I can't take credit for it because I saw it in a Youtube tutorial https://youtu.be/J2XKL7QAEmE
It certainly took a long time, but once you get into pure black areas it's a lot more forgiving (notice the preacher's shirt and how I'm not even close to sticking to the outline) because the black areas show up the same regardless of whether they're inside or outside the line. People who have thinner ink strokes and fewer shadows though are gonna have a nightmare trying to do it this way!

I just wanna make cool comics with cool people. My influences are all over the place. Horror. Humor. Sci-Fi. Classic Capes. I hope to bring it all here for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for checking out Benalee Books and happy reading.
Re: Introduce Your Comic and You! (Old Thread)
My name is Grant and my comic book is called Gruelgo: The Call of Time! https://globalcomix.com/c/gruelgo-the-call-of-time
It's a giant-sized continuation of the webcomic I maintain at Gruelgo.com. Gruelgo is a 900 year old, crypt-dwelling ghoul who used to introduce horror rags like Tales from The Crypt and The Vault of Horror in the golden age of comics. Unfortunately, he's been out of work ever since the Comics Code Authority effectively ruined horror comics.
Gruelgo's wife Birgitta is a 400 year old witch whose eye is stolen by an interdimensional alien who plans to reverse time itself. Now Gruelgo and Birgitta must track down the villain and get her eye back. Joining them are Diabro, the dude-bro ruler of hell, and Lamar the demonic goat.
I first discovered GlobalComix on Twitter. Naturally, I've been looking for a decent alternative to ComiXology ever since Amazon ruined it with their terrible updates earlier this year. I had thousands of dollars worth of comics on the service and I haven't touched it since spring.
The paper version of The Call of Time is coming out around the beginning of October!

Cutting tool when editing frames?
The masking tool is great for outlining, but it would be nice if we also had a similar tool that takes away from an already outlined frame. That way we can "bite into it," so to say. I've had moderate success doubling back on the outline (I did that between the top word balloon and the preacher's head, making it more or less look like there are two masks), but for some reason it didn't work in the crook of the torch-bearer's arm even though I tried the same technique. Or maybe we could make more than one mask in the same frame?
Just a thought! Maybe I'm just approaching this in a weird way.

Re: Double page spread settings?
I'll give it a shot as I haven't released my book yet, thanks for the heads-up!
Edit: Seems to work in the editor preview!

Re: Parts of the editor are covering my workspace buttons
Awesome, I just reloaded and it is indeed fixed. Thanks!
Re: Double page spread settings?
Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything!
Re: Parts of the editor are covering my workspace buttons
Okay, so it's not just me. It's not hard to work around now that I've gotten the hang of it, it's just that I was new to the editor and didn't even realize those buttons were there until I compared my screen to a tutorial video.

I deleted another thread I opened because I realized my problems probably stem from this particular issue... part of the website frame covers my options. I'm guessing the new(?) Special Offer bar pushes the black bar down over my buttons. I tried changing browsers with no luck, from Firefox to Edge. Hopefully the picture below works.


Double page spread settings?
I have two pages that need to be presented at the same time. I've already set the cover page to be forced to a single page in double-page view to preserve the proper flow of interior pages, but what about people who view in single-page mode? I'd also like to be able to create frames across the two pages, if possible. I thought about uploading the two pages as one image, but I figured that would make two-page view show three pages. Am I missing the pertinent settings?
