There have been thankfully huge leaps in digital media. Clip Studio Paint has really come a long way, among others. I'm finding a lot of brushes there that really feel like it does to paint traditionally, so I'm trying to learn again, better than I used to! Smile

Hah- I used Manga studio 1. The program was a nightmare, but it was all I had for screen tone. Clipstudio paint is a friggin DREAM XD

    Right?! I remember when it was even more primitive, waaaay back in the days when it all started. And that was it! We either had that as an option, or scanned screentones, or heaven forfend actual real-life physical screentone! Which, let me just say for the benefit of anyone who didn't have the experience, were a nightmare! Clip Studio is like a luxury limousine by comparison.

      That and it wasn't fully native. You picked a resolution to screen tone at and that was you perma-locked for the rest of the picture. No resizing the screen tone resolution. To add text I had to use illustrator, then import back, but if I didn't import right it imported as a mid tone grey. Then I had to make sure the printer didn't resize it or attack of moire. And Mangastudio 1 you needed to manually tell it hey I'm using a new tone and that took me ages to figure out. It wasn't intuitive. Clipstudio it's all native so it resizes on the go and, you have easy vector tools for text and panels, and text auto centers and remembers previous settings etc... so good. Makes the process so easy <3

        Oh yes, I remember some of that myself. I used at one point, at least three different programs...plus did the art traditionally and scanned it in. So add to that digital cleanup! It's so very nice to have Clip Studio Paint. Even with the bugs that sometimes crop up, it's just luxurious by comparison!

          Yeah- and it saves as one native file. Manga studio had folders for all the screen tones and I had SO MANY FOLDERS for my comics. PSD, MSP files, screen tone folders, Illustrator files, final PSD, post size... it was the worst
