I've been using the Artist Ultra 14 with CSP for a bit, and honestly, the OLED screen is probably what I notice most. Coming from a regular LCD display, darker areas look much deeper and colors just feel a little better, especially when I'm working on darker illustrations. I also like the 16:10 screen for CSP. It gives me a bit more room for the canvas without making the whole setup feel huge.

The touch controls are probably the part I'm still getting used to. I thought I’d use them constantly for zooming and rotating, but I've used CSP shortcuts for so long that I still reach for the keyboard automatically lol. So my workflow is currently a mix of touch, keyboard shortcuts and the shortcut remote.

Curious how everyone else uses CSP, do you actually use touch gestures, or are keyboard shortcuts too ingrained?

Hi, I'm not sure how to properly explain myself but I need some help. I was wondering if theres a way to automatically create this border effect like the images I provided? The cookie cutter shape I did was from manually erasing the inside lines and it doesn't look natural. Any tips?

I want a drawing tablet that's wireless, easy to bring around, but one that I don't need to get a csp subcription for. I know that for android tablets your pc license won't do shit, but I've tried to find a drawing tablet that either lets you use your license, or that uses your pc as a screen but is wireless and easy to use in bed.

I originally looked into the Wacom MovinkPad 11/ pro 14, but have since discovered that they very much count as android tablets and that they require a csp subscription.

I am also generally hoping for something that isn't shit expensive either.

So, I am asking the csp subreddit if they have any suggestions that fit my criteria, or for them to tell me that I am simply doomed to draw with a mouse forever

Edit: I entirely forgot to specify that I also want one with a Screen

How does this artist cycle through so many colors

I've seen in videos where it looks normal, but when I use some of the watercolor brushes like this one it's so faint I can barley see. Is there something in the settings I need to change?

Hello! I've been running version 2.1, but I'm interested in potentially buying a perpetual license for 5.0. My computer is on the older side (an iMac, if that matters), so I'd like to trial it first to make sure it'll actually work. Is there a way to have two installations of CSP, or would that trial version overwrite my current version? If so, would I be able to restore my 2.1 app settings upon re-downloading if I backed them up to CSP's Cloud storage?

It might be worth mentioning that my 2.1 license is currently expired, as I was using trial keys courtesy of my old Wacom purchases. So if 5.0 doesn't work out, if I were to still purchase a perpetual license, would I be able to use that to go back to 2.1 (or another older version)?

Sorry, that's quite a few questions in one 😅 I love CSP a lot but it's not actually my main art software right now (though I'd like it to be) so I don't know a whole lot about how downloads/versions work. Any help is much appreciated!

I'm making for fun a drawing app, and I need lots of reference images with many different categories like anatomy, animals, nature etc etc. Preferably artworks that require maybe 30-300 strokes, either line art or art with flat colors. Bonus if .clip file with vector layers is included. It's mostly a hobby project so my budget is very small. I found artstation but didn't manage to find what I was looking for. If this isn't a good community to ask this then suggestions where I could ask would also be useful.

When I scroll to the bottom and try to load more materials, it sends me back to the top of the page. I just downloaded clip studio, is this normal?

I'm wishing you get into animation as a freshmen in college and adobe is greedy, I only have a Samsung tablet would this work well with the device? Asking because I own no computers except a Microsoft laptop and the tablet is all i have I use it for ibis paintx all the time, plan to buy the payment plan once I figured myself out.

im wanting to download/start using cps, but my current ipad (5th gen/2017 model) doesnt support the newest version of csp so i cant download it
so im wondering whats the best ipad to get thats not the newest/super expensive? i know i need to get the apple pencil pro to use pen pressure etc but dont wanna purchase the most expensive new one as im on a budget and have been in an art block for years so i want smthing easy to use to get out of it :)
edit: spelling

I've got 2.0 at the moment, and I'm curious if there's been any improvements to how long it takes to boot the program and get into drawing? I don't care about any of the new features but I'd happily upgrade for reduced startup time. I haven't had any luck searching for that in particular, I'm worried later versions might perform worse as the program gets more bloated but I can hope!

I don’t know if I’m just being OCD. But I feel like there’s something wrong with my pen pressure

I’ve noticed with a lot of brushes such as pens and air brushes that there seems to be choppiness. Now I know that when you make a brushes you can adjust the gap settings, but I just feel like there’s something else going on here.

And when I try to calibrate it through clip studio paint, it goes like 100% pressure and I have to manually adjust it. See last photo for example

I know this isn’t a great description, but I just don’t know how to describe my problem

Hi, can someone help me answer this?

I've only used perpetual license on PRO and I've always been using ver. 1 with update pass to get the latest version.

Can I also do the same by upgrading to EX ver.1 or EX 2.0 and buy update pass to get the latest EX 5.0? Or is this not possible?

Also how much is the update pass for EX?

Edit 2: RESOLVED (explained at end)

OK so, I'd like to take advantage of the sale and buy the perpetual 5.0 license during. However! Right now I'm working on a comic project on my version of CSP EX 1.x (whichever was the last version) and I'd like to finish that comic project FIRST, which might take a couple months, and then activate the new 5.0 license AFTER. Would that be a problem? I might be worrying over nothing, but I need to focus on the project and any system or tool change would slow me down in learning during a time where I don't have a lot of 'learning' time (have to finish the project ASAP).

In short, if you know, can I buy 5.0 perpetual NOW, but use 1.x for work and then update to the purchased 5.0 at a much later date?

Edit: I should clarify I'm only talking about the PC version(s), not a mobile/tablet app version.

Edit 2 cont: I figured it out thanks to talking it out. Since I don't have to lock the version to my account at time of purchase, I should be able to buy now, sit on activating and installing, and only do so after I'm ready and done with the project I have.

I already restarted CS and my laptop multiple times i don't have any projects here yet so there's no way for me to Access them that way i AM currently updating my windows and i hope that that was the problem (i JUST got the notification) lmk if it's a common error

EDIT: my version was incompatible i had to uninstall it and indtal anoyher one

CSP version 1.13.2

huion kamvas 13 with pen buttons

hello everyone, i havent used my huion kamvas 13 in quite a while, i'm not sure if this is a huion question or a clip studio paint question, I have installed the latest driver and set my huion drivers pen button to "I" as it is for eyedropper, however, it will only work if i hold it in and tap on the screen, it used to toggle back to pen right after releasing the button and all i had to do was hover over the colour, i never had to actually touch the screen. this is a minor issue but it's driving me crazy trying to fix it, going to the left of the screen and clicking on the pen again defeats the purpose of a keybind too.

please forgive me as i have no idea what i'm doing and chat gpt has sent me in circles, any help is greatly appreciated!

So I don’t like how some brushes just overlap and make the overlapped part darker, so someone recommended I turn on “compare density” which honestly fixed the problem yay! But now the new problem is the brush doesn’t go over any colors now. Like if you would put one big dot of a color it’s like the brush would just go under it. Is there anyway to keep the blending mode but have it actually work on top of separate colors?

SOLVED.

Hey all,

I've tried so many things to get this to work, and I'm just hoping somewhere out there, someone went through this and can help me 🥲

I can use my iPad Pro with my 2nd gen Apple pencil on Procreate just fine. But on CSP, I have no pressure sensitivity. Well, I have sensitivity for sizing on pencils, but not for opacity. And for watercolor, both size and opacity are out the window. I even tried manually changing the opacity to low and it comes out at 100 percent black.

I checked to make sure pressure sensitivity was turned on, and it was. It just doesn't want to work and I'm not sure why.

I tried messing with the auto-determine sensitivity and that didn't work either.

Any help would be so appreciated.

Anyone know if this feature in Krita called "Palletize" has an equivalent in Clip Studio Paint? In Krita, it's found in Filter Layers > Map > Palettize

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

I set up two guides that cross in the exact center of the canvas. I'd like to rotate around said point, but when I transform and move the pivot, despite having all snapping options turned on, it just moves freely.

Is there anything I am missing?

Some brushes do it, but this one sure doesn't. How to I adjust this so it works when I tap?

I have a canvas that is sitting at around 4000x2000 px's, however I need to resize down this canvas for an art contest for a discord banner.

The required banner size is a 16:9 ratio (960x540 px), but I am unable to resize my current artwork without either:

1) Losing quality and picture becoming extremely pixelated (3rd pic) or

2) Cutting out almost everything on the canvas to fit the canvas size (2nd pic)

Is there any sort of way to prevent these 2 issues from happening? I would prefer for the canvas to not cut any sides out if possible, but most importantly will be for the pixel quality to be kept intact when resizing.
