Patmals,

heh, we're a helpful group.

The more answers/explanations the better I reckon - the more chance somebody will understand at least one of them.

Regards, Myles

As someone who has done it "the hard way", I don't really see the advantage of ToonBoom making an electro-digital version of a traditional light table.

I mean, Photoshop doesn't make you mix up the developer does it? The copy machine doesn't ask me for carbon paper, and there's no White Out button in Word.

I d/led the demo of ToonBoom because I was looking for something simpler than Flash (which is an application programming interface-whoever thought it was for animation?) and more "cartoon"-friendly than After Effects (which precedes Mirage and all similar compositor/animators).

ToonBoom isn't that.

Anime Studio (aka Moho) comes pretty close. -R
