![]() ![]() And our text tool and balloon collection isn’t good, but I already knew that. What we’re missing is the number of templates and presets what is also missing is the frame layer type, for comic book frames. Krita does have a comic book manager which handles pages and generating epubs, so we’re equal in that regard. A new canvas decoration would be the best place to implement that. So there are lots of options for showing things like bleed margins, and I want that, too, for Krita. Such fans…Ĭlip Studio Paint really is geared towards making manga, manhwa or manhua (even though it isn’t for sale in the PRC, only Taiwan). It doesn’t help that if you make the cintiq brighter than 50% a boeing 747 starts taking off in your work room, drowning out music and speech. There are two color modes: dark and light, and both lack contrast a bit. I want to convert Krita’s layer properties dialog to a panel, too! There are layer-style like things you can add to a layer, and mark a layer as “draft” - so for instance the fill tool doesn’t take that layer into account when using the composed image for filling, or as a “reference” layer. What I really appreciated is that the layer properties aren’t in a dialog, but in a panel, and this works really quite well. Those icons are, on Windows, a bit cut off, and hard to recognize. The panels show text and icon for the currently selected tab, and icons for the unselected tabs. That works quite well, much better than Photoshop’s fold-out toolbar buttons where you long-click, then select a tool, and the others are hidden again. Tools then have “sub tools” that you can select in the top-left second column panel, and then settings in a panel underneath. Their tool system is different: they have separate tools for pencil, pen, brush and eraser. It suggests that Clip Studio is also using OpenGL for their canvas implementation, but… Their canvas is really smooth and responsive on macOS, where we are still struggling with OpenGL on macOS. Clip Studio has that, too, but it’s a global option in the preferences dialog, and cannot be set per group layer.Īnother setting is between “default” and “high quality” canvas - that sounds a bit like Krita’s setting where you can choose between nearest neighbour, bilinear, trilinear and high-quality scaling mode. Something that Krita has, that Photoshop doesn’t is group layers that are either pass-through (as in Photoshop) or have their own projection. In general, the touch screen functionality of the Cintiq is quite bad… ![]() I also got the same problems with the rocker switch set to right-button, and with misplaced cursors if not all screens have the same display scaling. I found out, in the settings, that Clip Studio has the same problems with Wintab vs Windows Ink Krita has, which is kind of a relief. Then I loaded one of my old comic pages in PSD format, and started experimenting. Clip Studio’s main windowĪlso on macOS, Clip Studio comes with its own titlebar and titlebar buttons which don’t work like the default ones on macOS do. This even happens for the brush editor floating palette. On Windows, that’s not a problem, but several of the dialogs will show up on the primary display, not the one where the Clip Studio window is placed. On macOS, you can only open Clip Studio on the primary display, you cannot move the application from, say, the monitor to the Cintiq without making the Cintiq the primary display. Starting Clip Studio shows a rather traditional window. I kind of like the presentation of the news items, and the featured image on top. There is a row of options on the left side, some of which open a browser, some of which open a page in the right-hand panel and one of which starts the application. Just like Krita, it shows the latest news, but also featured images, new tutorials and so on. The first thing you notice when starting Clip Studio is the really busy opening screen, which is actually separate from the actual painting application. I recently got a new cintiq, a 24″ Cintiq Pro Touch, to replace the broken Cintiq Hybrid Companion and the even more broken Mobile Studio Pro. So I got a trial license and gave it a try, first on my macbook pro (2015), then on Windows on my Thinkpad T470p. I’ve played a bit with Clip Studio on iOS, but I never really dug into what made the application different from, say, Paint Tool Sai or Medibang. Well! I mean to say, that’s not what we want to hear. Funktional bleibt das Programm allenfalls hinter dem japanischen Clip Studio Paint (ehemals Manga Studio) zurück. ![]() Mit seinen Animations- und Vektorfähigkeiten hebt sich Krita von der Konkurrenz ab. It was all very complimentary, but the conclusion was: So, last week I read a review in the German C’t magazine of Krita 4.4.0. ![]()
