Hi,
congratulations on new cool software.
for me it works smoother than comicado and the interface is more comfortable.
I spent 7 hours playing with it today and although i haven’t tested every single thing, it was enough to make a (somewhat unpolished) comic page, so i thought i would leave some feedback. (is this a good place?)
i did experience a few crashes and other issues:
-crashed several times when using lasso tool
-crashed on exiting
-crashed after deleting a layer mask
-weird but non destructive visual artifacts appearing and disappearing in panel and panel expanding area when drawing (small rectangles)
-when editing a curve and panning the view, the curve wouldn’t move on a screen. (gave me a bit of a scare, but it refreshed after a second, so not really a problem)
-after exporting to png, panels didn’t have their borders (should be 3pts wide, black)
-exporting to jpg doesn’t work (no file was created)
-resizing gives rather ugly results..
i’m using:
win7 64bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
8GB RAM
Cintiq 13HD
on another note: are plans for jugipaint set in stone or do you consider feature requests?
(sorry for the gore, i was just fooling around;)

Hi, great job on the update 🙂 lasso stopped causing crashes and panel borders do export
i had only one crash today, when using bucket fill. it seemed pretty random, since i have been using bucket a whole lot and it worked fine (i miss the expand feature from comicado though, it was awesome. hopefully it will make its way to jugipaint too).
i’ve tried exporting to jpg many times and it really doesn’t work for me. Not one jpg file was created.
about resizing: i was resizing after importing a png. the curves and borders look especially bad indeed. I tried resizing the other way as well, and resizing the board works better for curves. I guess, there is no working anti-aliasing yet?
there is also this messy row of of pixels at the top of the page:
some more stuff:
-I suppose it’s just not implemented yet, but snapping to guides when moving panels around or editing panel’s borders doesn’t seem to work. it works well enough when creating panels.
-when i draw one line after another very fast, quite often the second stroke doesn’t register. it doesn’t happen in comicado (i think it did at some point, but it is certainly not happening now).
-when merging down a layer with a blending mode different than normal (multiply, burn etc), it gets merged as if it had normal mode. (thankfully both comicado and jugipaint allow for bazillion of layers in each panel without slowing down (which is btw very impressive), so it is not a big problem.)
-when switching between panels, the mode in layers tab defaults to panel editing, after clicking on a layer, it sometimes switches to layer editing… But sometimes it doesn’t, which forces me to scroll all the way down (through bazillion of layers) to the panel/border/layer menu. could this menu be given same treatment as the new layer/new vector/folder/mask/trash menu? so it always stays on top? or be made more accessible in some other way?
Would you consider adding a feature, where with a shortcut key pressed the brush’s outline is displayed and dragging changes brush tip diameter? i realize there is already a slider, two sets of arrows and a numerical value box, but being able to resize brush on the fly without leaving the canvas area is extremely convenient.

It must be a bug with behavior of Save Dialog in your version of Windows as apparently selecting JPG is not registering it. Will find a workaround to it.

Yes, it is not working well. Antialiasing is in but it doesnt work well if reduction of resized image is too big. Will need to fix that. I am not sure where that pixels at the top came from. Can you send me this image, so I can resize it myself?
-I suppose it’s just not implemented yet, but snapping to guides when moving panels around or editing panel’s borders doesn’t seem to work. it works well enough when creating panels.
It is implemented. For panel moving you must click on a panel corner and this will be the source point for snapping. For editing panel border use target movement (in the Edit Curve/Move and Adjust Points).
-when i draw one line after another very fast, quite often the second stroke doesn’t register. it doesn’t happen in comicado (i think it did at some point, but it is certainly not happening now).
I think this is the reason: I am developing JugiPaint in the Qt gui framework (Comicado was coded in something completely different) which supports tablets but it has some problems with dropping pressure registration from time to time. I hence disabled strokes for brushes which utilize pen pressure when such error is detected (otherwise you are forced to use undo which is even more annoying). The solution would be either to code my own (better) tablet driver for JugiPaint (ouch) or try to fix that in Qt. Will need to fix that somehow in future, but it is not of the highest priority right now.
-when merging down a layer with a blending mode different than normal (multiply, burn etc), it gets merged as if it had normal mode. (thankfully both comicado and jugipaint allow for bazillion of layers in each panel without slowing down (which is btw very impressive), so it is not a big problem.)
Are you sure there is an error? When a layer with different blending mode is merged down it is merged correctly if there are pixels on the layer bellow to be affected. if an area bellow is empty then then the merged pixels will look “normal” (if the layer bellow has “normal” mode). My old version of Photoshop works the same. In some situations you can avoid this problem by using clipping.
-when switching between panels, the mode in layers tab defaults to panel editing, after clicking on a layer, it sometimes switches to layer editing… But sometimes it doesn’t, which forces me to scroll all the way down (through bazillion of layers) to the panel/border/layer menu. could this menu be given same treatment as the new layer/new vector/folder/mask/trash menu? so it always stays on top? or be made more accessible in some other way?
I will put this on my list of the thing to look into.

Like “S” key in Comicado? Yes I miss that feature as well, so it will be added in the next update.
