Comments on: 6 Features of Manga Studio EX that make it better than Photoshop for Creating Comics http://www.vakil.org/2010/02/25/6-features-of-manga-studio-ex-that-make-it-better-than-photoshop-for-creating-comics/ thoughts on Spirituality, Productivity & Life Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:57:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ganryu http://www.vakil.org/2010/02/25/6-features-of-manga-studio-ex-that-make-it-better-than-photoshop-for-creating-comics/comment-page-1/#comment-9065 Ganryu Tue, 22 Nov 2011 02:39:07 +0000 http://www.vakil.org/?p=981#comment-9065 Bibi: The perspective tool owns the crap out of photoshop. It is absolutely essential for quick perspective work. I can do free-form perspective on paper, I can do serious-work perspective on paper and I can do both in Comic Studio thanks to the perspective tool. I can do neither in Photoshop because I have to work around the limitations of not having any way to stick the tools to lines. Photoshop is a general-use tool for photo manipulation that can be made to do other stuff. Comic studio is optimized to work with black and white images in high resolutions and it is DESIGNED to work with the cursor-snap rulers. These are extensively used and have a wide range of applications. Using the paralell lines ruler allows me to draw perfectly parallel lines quickly and efficiently. The concentric circles tool does the same but for circles. The symmetry tool is amazing, even if a primite variant of it exists in photoshop... And when I say primitive I mean it feels like something from the stone age. Photoshop is great for colour work. Not for black and white comics. Sure amazing things can be done with it, but amazing things can be done in paint too. That doesn't make paint great. Bibi:

And for an aspiring artist who can't even draw a car properly it has no meaning !?! It's nice to have easy things but it's not enough to actually replace talent ! I don't think this kind of manga can be published since most of the drawings are not originally drawn ! For those aspiring to become real artists with published works use Photoshop for tones and paint tool SAI for the sketches and panels making Well it’s true that it seems a bit better
