This program is a scam

|Clip Studio Paint
I bought a license for thier program and NEVER received the license yet they took my $99 and when I complained and asked for my license they didnt even address my request. They just noted that since I canceled the service (it expires NEXT YEAR) that they didnt need to give me my license! Even though I paid for it for a year!! The customer service is terrible. The automated pay system doesnt deliver the product that you pay for. Its a terrible company. Dont buy!!!! I repeat! DO NOT BUY!!!!

Not the worst

|Clip Studio Paint
The processes in this are more streamlined than in GIMP and KRITA, probably the two closest programs (though both cost nothing). So overall less laggy, and handles large resolution files well (e.g. >20k pixel h/w at >300 dpi). However this is very much so for drawing and can't really be compared to Photoshop. Photoshop is capable of a lot more, generally speaking, in regards to photo manipulation and creating text effects; however there are more manga-centric and publishing features (the extensive screentone support comes to mind) in Clip Studio. If you're going purely for traditional non-vector illustration this program is probably about as good as it gets. Also, there is the advantage of Clip Studio costing a one time fee vs Photoshop's subscription payment system.

This is MUST HAVE Software for a comic artist

|Clip Studio Paint
The simplicity. Functions that took multiple complex steps in PS are executable in a single button. Repeatable tasks are mapable. Animation. It has it all.
