- All major Photoshop paint functions can also Manga Studio; including Layer Masks, Auswahlmalwerkzeug and extensive brush editor. The keyboard shortcuts are identical to the respective Photoshop equivalent. Anyone familiar with Photoshop CS6, will get along very quickly and the related functions can be found intuitively. Besides, many features coming in Manga Studio with fewer clicks from. (I get to Photoshop on Manga Studio because my cloud policy of Adobe does not fit) - The cool Paint Tool SAI functions (Flip Canvas, vector brush with a drawing aid for automatic straightening long lines) are also included. However, there are in the Manga Studio FULL tablet support with excellent fine-tuning (Tested with IntuosProM Wacom) - Send the marker tools from Sketchbook Pro are also included - Copic marker can be just simulate good as with Sketchbook - but there is no original Copic color palette. - There is a poser to scale (also from Smith Micro) 3D library to quickly create character styles, including with 3D template generator for hands and minds - not for feet. Nevertheless, extremely convenient! - The program has a 3D scenes Komposer for creating backgrounds and placing figures or objects in the 3-dimensional space with adjustable camera - very helpful, especially for unusual perspectives. Rounding out the whole of a 3D architecture tool for just Hntergrundstrukturen in perspective. - While MangaStudio5 aimed at illustrators of frames, the EX version for mangaka is thought that want to combine multiple pages into a comic. These includes the MangaStudio5EX version additionally a page similar to the Book Manager tool from Adobe InDesign. This page manager with his imaginary for creating entire albums tools is the only difference I could make out the "small" version. The PDF manual (English) enables fast and secure access with great attention to detail. - The 3D features are power-hungry (processor speed). I can imagine that an older laptop as not quite keep up. - High resolution graphics on a pixel basis need a good graphics card, otherwise the painting tools occasionally delay.
- Program language: English. But should not be more difficult, especially for the SAI transfer passengers.
Pupils and students NOTE: There is an education version of this software for around 45 euros per download! EX version costs around 90, - (presented by the scanned pupil / student ID when ordering). This is Manga Studio 5 also no more expensive than PaintToolSAI but to eingiges more powerful and better thought out. The EDU version, the commercial use is technically possible, but illegal. This includes the creation of point-Commissions, as like practiced on platforms like Instagram, Tumblr or DeviantArt.
The CD version provides an installation as a trial version with no time limit. However, you can neither save nor print in the Trial. The 3D template libraries are restricted to the standards. For activating an Internet connection, and serial number is required; Thus, the copy is relatively good; This means that sent here the kids are undermined, the software like steal (yes, kids: download software and use with cracked serial number is stolen) and thus the price of the stupid as screw me into the air that are so honest, spending money for software.
There is no cloud; the software has been installed and enabled, it runs without internet connection. However, the additional (extensive) Vorlagenbibilotheken must be loaded once from the internet prior to use - if you want to use it: the standards are very good enough for experienced mangaka or not necessary at all. For beginners and perfection Aspiring but the templates are likely to be priceless. Original material updates obviously require an Internet connection.
Unfortunately, there are actually individual licenses; not as in Photoshop Double licenses. But at the price which is actually not an issue - I am running on the desktop computer and the EX on the laptop, the "small" version.
