The image attachments are displayed okay but it looks like people have to click on the GIFs in order to preview the animations.

Some people may do it and some people may not know that it works that way. I guess it's fine like this for now if it speeds up loading time.

I hope that at some point it will be possible to upload more pictures, and preferably if the GIFs can be previewed in their smaller thumbnail forms without having to be opened.

Which of the icons allows us to upload images into the post?

I clicked on the "Insert Image" icon (the one that appears to have an image of Mona Lisa). It doesn't let me upload directly from my computer. It seems to require a URL. That means I'll have to upload the image somewhere else first in order to get a link for it. Maybe its not that hard to do but at this time I don't use any image sharing websites. Also, if the other website takes down the image for whatever reason then I would assume that it will no longer be visible on this forum.

Anyway, I would have preferred if there was an easier way to do it without involving third party websites. But whatever the case, it's still possible to get ideas across, even if it's not the easiest way. It's definitely nice that there is at least some way to share image mockups and GIFs to more clearly depict the ideas that we suggest.

I think text has the potential of being its own art form and it can be used in combination with digital drawings to create some very creative artworks. I like having the ability to create unique effects with text by using the same software that I use for drawing & painting, without having to resort to softwares like Illustrator.

I would love features such as,

1) Typing Text On a Path

2) Warping Text

3) Envelope Distortion of Text

4) Wrapping Text Around an Image or Shape

These features can create some very beautiful effects, especially when combined with the different font styles.

I would also find these features very useful for creating sound effects in comics. Some comics, especially manga styles, have very unique and dynamic lettering for sound effects. It would be difficult to draw all that from scratch but it will be a lot easier if we have options to manipulate the text.

Thank you for all the great features you have included in Artstudio Pro. It's already a really great program! I always look forward to updates because I'm excited to see how Artstudio Pro will evolve.

I would also love to see this feature in Artstudio Pro! Being able to create smooth shapes with the lasso tool would help a lot, especially when drawing comics. I'd like to use the lasso tool for blocking in shapes to create shadows. Smooth shapes definitely create a better look and they work well with comic art styles.
