Thanks for the help. I think we've voided the Warantees though.
A shame really, but meh...
I plan to get a new system soon anyways for the next 5 years.

I need an application that can create speech bubbles over just normal images.
I know you can do the thing with Photoshop, GIMP and several other things like it, but it requires tedious mind numbing work.

It looks incredibly crude though.

Nobody else out there can help me with my problem?
Not even a script or something for GIMP that automatically does that crap?

Sadly, I don't have Microsoft Word You'd think by now there would be an application for this.

I don't have PhotoShop either. If I did, I would be asking how to do it in PhotoShop.
I'll try OpenOffice Bankrupt. If any of you guys are looking for software than can open a niche, something that can create speech bubbles and other stuff for comics much easier would be a great idea to put to market.

There is one - I forget the name, but it comes with a free sub on the latest iMacs etc. Also, GIMP is fine for that kind of stuff - steeper learning curve than Photoshop, but also free. Made that using GIMP It's great once you get the hang of it.

I have GIMP, but I find the process to fiddily. The stupid bit where the tools are seperare to the goddamn application really don't help.
Seriously. Such a stupid idea.

I for one hope you never find such a tool. No. I want an application to choose a selection of speech bubbles, not the content inside. Without the process of having to cobble together something crude while constantly fiddling with several layers. Not to mention having to repeat this process two or three fucking times. I just want a type of wrench for the job, not a robot to do the whole goddamn job. If there was an application for that, what would be the point of doing webcomics at all? I'm willing to do everything else.

Man, poor you. you have a brilliant idea, and there's not a program that will let you implement that idea in 30 seconds without doing any work whatsoever? What a tragedy; someone should write an epic poem about you. Seriously, if it's not worth the time to do it in the Gimp, it's probably not an idea worth doing at all. I don't think allowing any schmuck with an idea to implement it and subject everyone on the internet to it in 60 seconds or less would be a good thing, there's enough crappy amature photoshoppers out there already.

... Creative and original artistic expression?

Stereo question, not computer Might as well be the general tech questions thread, since we don't have one.
So I've got a nice 5.1 digital surround stereo system. It has one of those nifty little digital optical cable ports. Currently I have my X-Box hooked up to it (which makes a world of difference with the Dolby Digital surround sound, let me tell you). Thing is, I've got FFXII coming out for the PS2 today, and the PS2 also has a digital optical sound port.
My question is, is there some sort of adaptor I can buy that will let me plug both consoles in, or am I going to have to switch out?
