>>5877372It's ok anon. And I think CSP does a good job of explaining the differences, but they advertise for the cool shiny useless stuff like foil layer preview or 3d book preview for some reason and ignore actually useful shit like the story editor.
>animationsYou get to animate for longer. Pro version has a 24 frame limit on animations, EX does not. You can export shit to some other animation program for fucking with scenes and stuff, I don't know, I don't animate.
>publishing webcomicsFirstly, the Story Editor tool is my favorite. You can write or copy paste your script into the boxes, they show up on your comic page, then you move them into the speech bubbles, edit text size and font, whatever. There they sit until you realize you need to change your wording or you misspelled a characters name all chapter like a dumbass (you can do find and replace like you would in microsoft word), it saves a lot of hassle.
Secondly, the group work/teamwork feature, if you have assistants. You can all work on different pages at the same time, and god it's so much easier than fucking with g drive or dropbox. If you do this I suggest you upload each page to the team cloud seperately, they take just as long to load from the entire book version of the file, which only other EX users can open and work on. Not everyone on your team needs to have EX, only the team lead needs it. Pro is fine for assistants.
Photo to line and tone is good for taking photos and quickly turning them into backgrounds, but they still look better hand drawn. Good for when youre in a pinch though. 3d to line and tone is cancer.
Specifically for publishing, EX lets you export multiple pages at once, import and export pdfs, export directly to kindle and epub format, and export webtoons by chopping up the big ass canvas youve been drawing on. It's also easier to deal with making and checking 2 page spreads with EX but it's not like it's a huge pain in Pro.
