just pirated this shit, and this thread opens.wow.
anyway is this software just a manga studio reskin or what?

>>4242467
yeah, so it literally IS manga studio, just horribly optimized with some added useless shit. Can't see how anyone would pick this over photoshop or SAI

>>4242467
>couldn't afford it for 25 bucks
Lmao?

>>4242467
Where you got it? I need ir please.

>>4242499
>>4242467
You are legitimately, mentally retarded. Honestly just die right now, removing your worthless bloodline would be your single most useful contribution to mankind

>>4242556
Can't beat free baby. Capitalism ho!

>Can't see how anyone would pick this over photoshop or SAI

I can understand photoshop...But SAI? PAINT TOOL SAI???
CSP<SAI ARE YOU RETARDED OR WHAT

every time.

How would you even draw the girl like in OPs pic.

You make some 0.1% progress and get mogged the fuck out by a pro

>>4242750
Photoshop is shit as well, the only thing it has going for it is that the western industry uses it as a standard.

>>4242821
Did you try learning

>>4242750
based and red pilled

>>4242756
Feel free to make the next one, Anon. I only dled CSP two days ago. Thought making this thread would answer my questions too, but I see it's just full of useless bickering like the rest of ic.

>>4242467
share the link anon

What do you guys think of the new UI? I don't like the inverted brush display. They should let the user customize their own colors instead of these dumb dark/light sliders. The rounded boxes are a complete eye sore. The material browser is an improvement though.

>>4242821
lmao
that picture was made using Adobe© Photoshop® CC™

>>4243087
I use a pirated copy of EX. What about this new UI?

>>4243087

They fucking raped the UI. Looks like default Android or some shitty college app.

Easy reading my ass. Did they really have to do it?

>>4243087
It looks more professional, or more like PS, but I'm not sure if it is for the better. I mostly use hotkeys so it doesn't bother me too much so far.

>>4243087
I'm thinking of changing it back to previous version. I used the dot for cursor type but now it's too big so it distracts me. Single pixel dot is
too small to see.

I found the download link for the previous version but it seems i need to uninstall Clip.
Does this also remove all of my settings and brushes? I did upload my settings to cloud.

>>4243279
You could probably save them in the program files before uninstalling.

This or SAI? Fight!

>>4243386
Sai is abandonware so CSP wins by default.

>>4243087
I like it.
I just updated but some of my brushes and hotkeys disappeared/reset. Where did they go? How do I prevent that from happening next time?

>>4243386
csp
t. have been using a pirated version of sai for 6 years

>>4244217
You can use this method https://tips.clip-studio.com/en-us/articles/887

Also, since I'm about to update too, did you update from 1.9.4 to 1.9.5 when this happened or were you using an older version?

Do you guys ever use the blend/mixing function for your paint brushes? I've been trying to kinda oil paint for a while and I've always felt that I should have that feature enabled so it has more of a painterly look with subtle color variations, instead of just having solid blocks of of a single color. idk if I'm just a shitter but enabling mixing makes it kind of hard to control, although in theory it should make the process easier.

>>4242463
>tfw use G-pen
>can't get it to be like Mangaka
How do they do this line weight bullshit?

>>4244455
some use the vector layers and adjust weight afterwards with the Correct Line Width tool.

>>4244259
thank you.
yeah it was 1.9.4 to 1.9.5

>>4244445
I use it with some of my brushes when I want a more oil paint feeling. It's not very logical in the beginning but then you get the hang of it after a while. The blending effect depends on the direction of your stroke, and the values of the surrounding areas.

I'm still using 1.9.4. Is there someone with 1.9.5 who can tell me if there is a way to use the old interface? I don't wanna upgrade because of those shitty photoshopish flat design icons.

>>4244548
I can't find it in preferences, at least.

>>4242463
>still no liquify

>>4243279
>>4243348
Ahh got my smaller dot back. I just uninstalled Clip and installed the previous version and everything was where it should be, no need for loading the settings from cloud or anything like that.
I'm going to wait for an update where you could at least decide which UI to use, the new one wasn't for me.

What brush should I use to block values pre rendering and which brush to use for painting? When I'm trying to block it feels like I'm just smearing shit

>>4244699
Turn off color mixing if you don't want any stretching and smearing. In case of doubt you can always just use hard and soft rounds

>>4244639
Okay, thanks! That's sad.

>>4244548
The new UI is great, seems a little bit faster/more responsive. Dark is actually dark too. Only thing I had to change was that it reset the display for my pens to show the pen tool and not brush size as I set it before.

>>4242667
Fuck off back to réddit with your cringy "insults"

If you had to convince me to stop using SAI and switch to CSP instead, what would your main argument be?

>>4245232
I don't care what you use

>>4245232
None, because I won’t waste my time trying convince a retard on what to use.

>>4245235
>>4245236
stop samefagging and gtfo if you dont have anything useful to say you worthless piece of shit

>>4245232
tons of useful options that sai doesnt have, the default brush presets are actually REALLY good (watercolor is better than sai imo, pencil and ink are really good as well), brush settings arent as complicated as sai,the software is still getting updates, the drawing engine feels really nice and stabilizer works fine, very convenient options for displaying reference and/or your artwork (you can open it in another window, mirror it and keep drawing while you check for errors). also idk if you do comics but csp has really amazing and unique features for it

its not like you *have* to switch but i do recommend it. i'm very sceptical when it comes to switching software and i used photoshop for all my life. i made the switch to csp 2 months ago and im shocked because of how better it works for actual sketching and painting, photoshop feels like shit now.

>>4245258
THIS

>>4245258
>>4245261
Pathetic samefag

>>4243388
>Sai is abandonware
>Not checking out SAI2, updated several times this year, which is like a baby CSP but with SAI's better brush engine
morons

>>4244717
>In case of doubt you can always just use hard and soft rounds
Which one are these? They have all names like Opaque Watercolor, Soft Bleed, Dry Gouache or Lighter Ink

>>4245345
Where is that picture from? It’s fantastic

photoshop or csp? why?

>>4242463
How do I draw anime eyes? I wanna gag every time I see what I draw.

Does anyone have any textured hair brushes they would recommend like these? (These are presets I already have on photoshop)

>>4245387
I have one called "brush hair tool" and one called "good for hair". it's really not hard to make a brush in clip you should learn at the very least how they work, very simple to make a rake/hair brush. i have my own rakes that i've used, also textures are easy to add on.

hair tool (preferred)
https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1721495
zedig, hair, and pretty cool are the only ones i kept from here https://gumroad.com/l/NBlG

>>4245387
use abrmate to export the brush tips and recreate them in clip. For something basic like that they should behave pretty similarily

>>4245345
>Which one are these? They have all names like Opaque Watercolor, Soft Bleed, Dry Gouache or Lighter Ink

Round= using the built in round brush shape that has a slider from hard to soft rather than using custom brush tips. Uncheck color mixing to render with opacity

>>4245386
find pics with eye styles that you like and copy them, combine elements from different styles into one eye, mess around with hue variation and shading within the iris and shit

>>4244699
Fill in brush with size opacity jitter. It's a hard round opaque brush. Duplicate it and turn opacity and brush density jitter on, now you have a hard round with opacity and flow jitter like photoshop.

How well does CSP handle being installed on a device running intel atom CPU with 2gb ram?
I'm actually considering buying the asus vivotab note 8, that little thing from 2013, mostly because it seems to be the only 8 inch tablet, running full windows, that has wacom feel pen on it. Everything else either uses n-trig, or is one of those chink products with who-knows-what stylus.
Will be mostly used for notetaking, since the OneNote UWP app runs well on everything, but I wonder if maybe SAI is the better choice.

>>4245452
It would chug like shit as the CPU core is only 1.86GHz
If you ran the subscription mobile version it might run better.

>>4245411
Thanks

>>4245408
yeah ive tried that but they dont seem to look right, im not too familiar with the settings in CSP
>>4245405 thanks love ill try em out

>>4245129
>The new UI is great
I installed it on a secondary computer and... Oh yeah, so great, they really made it looks like Photoshop CC, how nice, how original. If people like it, good for them, but why forcing everyone to use it?

>>4245232
Try it yourself instead of waiting for people or companies to sell you things.

Can i somehow make the brush only increase by 1px past size 10, the jump to 12.5 is kind of annoying.
I know you can manually switch but i want it as a keyboard bind.

>>4248183
You can input the exact increments in the options actually.

>>4248200
Its not in key bindings, not in preferences either.

>>4248212
My bad, I remembered wrong. Instead you go to the Window drop down menu and select brush size. You edit your brush size presets there.

>>4248299
Huh?

>>4248299
Its useless if my keyboard is ignoring the presets.

>>4245366
Bammes

>>4248322
That's strange, mine follow the presets.

>>4248329
Well did you edit it to size 11 or something between 12.5?
Because it automatically goes to 12.5

Any screenshots of the new UI would be helpful

Is there any way to convert abr brush files to work in clip studio? I know abrmate used to be able to convert them, but I can't find a working download for that anymore. Any help would be appreciated, I've got a ton of custom brushes I made in ps that I want to bring into csp.

>>4248390
Yes, I can add brush increments of one pixel and cycle through them. It only uses the brush size presets in the brush size panel.

>>4248403
Different brush engines so direct conversion is not possible. You can import the brush tip size and fiddle with the settings to get some kind of approximation but it won't be 100% the same.

>>4248427
Yeah I know direct conversion isn't possible. I guess what I'm asking is if there's a way I can get the transparent png of the brush tip/shapes from abr files, or if I'm going to have to recreate all of those manually

>>4249480
https://abrmate.software.informer.com/1.1/

Works for me. First search result.

>>4249519
>https://abrmate.software.informer.com/1.1/
oh shit, thank you. for some reason i was getting nothing but 403's earlier

>>4248401
Nobody installed it.

>>4248401
>>4250605
Really it's not a major change, just different looking icons.

I probably just missed a sale, but do they usually do an xmas sale?

nobody has cracked the 1.9.5 yet?
>>4250714
Yes

>>4250613
I like the UI but the new grey icons are ass. Anyone figured how to change them back yet, or at least colour them or something?

>>4251397
You can add custom icons but only to specific brushes, so not globally.

>>4251406
Oh right, forgot about that. It changes the icon on the toolbar too when you use that brush, so that suits me fine.

Whenever someone brings up SAI I get an instant mental picture of a weeby deviantart middle school girl preferring this software.

Prove my stereotype wrong.

>>4242463
>reverse image search

OH NO NO NO NO

I can't find a button to save the settings of a sub-tool as a new sub-tool. Any help?

Is there a way to make the paints not mix when you paint over different colors? Besides using a new layer?

>>4255856
uncheck color mixing or keep amount of paint and density of paint at 100% with pen pressure unchecked

>>4255812
Three small icons on every brush panel. Middle one has a plus sign for making a duplicate

>>4255812
right click the tool, then create new tool/duplicate and register the settings as default in the new tool.

>>4255856
bind color mixing to a hot key to disable/enable.

>>4255967
>>4256142
Thanks guys, I'll give it a try later.
