Clip Studio Quirks Explained for Photoshop users
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- In this video, I'll explain some of the “quirks” that Photoshop users might find when switching to Clip Studio Paint. Although these apps are similar in functionality in many ways, there are enough differences that you might find it frustrating to use at the start, so I’ll be covering some of those.

Can you help me find the workspace?
I’ve been using CSP for years and I’m learning so many new things from this video!
That's great! I was afraid it would be too elementary for many CSP users, so that's good to hear. :)
Me too :-)
Honestly, same! This video has taught me enough efficiency tricks that will save me at least 2 hours total this month alone. Thank you!!!
I'm learning so much, Same as everyone else. I got back in December with the intention of using a Vacation week to learn the interface and how to use it. Turns out we're all on a 3-4 month vacation. I've been following your photoshop videos for a long while now. This video has helped me move forward alot with CSP. Please do more CSP videos.
"you're all paying for photoshop every month"
I'm what
My lips are sealed.
Me and my super old one-time payment version of photoshp: well,
Clip Studio Paint is my favorite art software overall, so obviously I like you doing more Tuts in CSP. I can see that coming from PS, CSP might seem strange, but what I love about it, is the customizability. Especially with selections, it is very advanced. You can make your inking layer(s) as reference, and make the magic wand always make selections based on those layers, not the coloring layer you are on. You can also expand the selection automatically, so that it goes under the line art and avoid white edges. The same options are available for the fill bucket (which I find useless in PS) so you can fill areas very fast and efficient. You can save all the settings of a tool to create one specifically for a task, so you don't have to keep switching around these settings.
I don't know if you would use these in your workflow, but I can see them being interesting to a colorist.
I also believe that in PS, you can not clip a layer to a group, but in CSP you can. So If the inks layer is divided into multiple layers, you can clip to all of these if you want to add adjustments or color over it.
It also has some interesting features for color selection, like the approximate color palette and the Intermediate color palette. The latter lets you add 4 colors in the 4 corners of the palette and it will give you a range of intermediate tones. I find it quite interesting to find new color harmonies and compositions.
Another thing that could be useful is auto-actions, so you can instantly recreate a specific layer stack, or quickly add a specific adjustment layer. Reuben Lara has shown great use for this in his Gumroad tutorial for coloring in CSP (If you have not checked this out, please do!)
Thanks again Kurt for trying this out, always good to get new perspectives!
Yeah. I've seen those palettes. That would be great for creating fast limited palettes.
im jumping into csp because i want to go "pirate-free" this year. This video really helps!
Thank you for this video!! I know it's old but I've finally come to my senses and realized that PS is just waay too expensive now even though I love it. This video is helping me cope
I for one am really happy to see you do this for Clip Studio. I've already learned some of the limitations of this software watching your tutorials in Photoshop. I also learned a few things in this video I didn't know about CSP. Keep 'em coming! Your videos are very helpful and informative!
Thanks a bunch! I'm really looking forward to your videos on CSP.
Hi Kurt..... Yay! Glad to see you starting on Clip and I am definitely looking forward to seeing more of these tutorials. You and Reuben Lara will make a great team getting more artists interested in Clip Studio Paint. For me it is a great alternative to Photoshop. One thing you might want to mention, if you haven't discovered it yet, is the Select and fill tool, a great way to do flats much quicker, not that you do much flatting that is! As much as I really enjoy this program, there are still many things that I discover as I work with it, and you will too. Thanks again for climbing on board with Clip Studio Paint. Stay safe out there.
I’ve been using clip for a long time and I love it! I am glad to see that you are giving it a try. One of my favorite things to do with the lasso, is turn on the “create new” setting. This basically makes it like you’re holding down shift automatically. You can still hold down alt to remove a selection. I just found it to be a bit quicker. Also, the lasso fill tool is worth checking out as well.
Thanks for the tips! I'll be doing a new flatting tutorial in the near future. There is some amazing stuff in there.
Just started using CSP for all my comic work. Loving it so far. I find PS still essential for photography though. Look forward to more tutorials on clip. thx!
Hi Kurt, thanks for posting I've been waiting, for your perspective using Clip Studio.
How to set up Color Profile Preview (Ctrl+Y) to "Dot Gain 20%" or something like that? It's very useful for checking values, especially for digital painting.
Thanks for the video man, very helpful
Great video! I got a few gems out of this one. Would definitely like to see more Clip Studio stuff from you since I have been contemplating a full switch from Photoshop to Clip.
Will do!
Been using CS for about 6 months, love it, excited to see more videos, learned a lot
Great to hear!
Color with Kurt stabilization on the lasso tool is a super life savior, big thanks for all the tips
Finally, looking forward to more tutorials for CSP.
Thanks!
thankyou so much for making this!
Perfect timing, just loaded downloaded this today!
Cool!
I have fallen in love _so to speak-with clip studio. The one thing I was rather upset with was the lack of printed information which is available in Japan. Your video was wonderful and concise. I look forwards to more.
I swear, I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos, and I've become the clip gurue in my little artist group.
one thing I also tend to turn off as well as stabalization on a lot of brushes, is the starting and ending settings. the vast majority of brushes it does nothing but add uneccesary processing time. So for intemediate computers, turning it off makes the brush a little bit more responsive.
The next thing I advise is pressing Ctrl+K to bring up the program's prefferences, navigate to "tablet" Because this is where you maximize Clips responsiveness with your personal tablet. I've got significant improvements by just getting people to swap "prefere speed" to "prefer quality" Because, ignore the name, some tablets just perform way better under "quality mode" while others better under "speed" I do advise restarting clip if you tick any boxes in this tab, or they won't take full affect.
Next I tell people to go to Ctrl+K > cursor, and tick "no delay" because who want's the cursor to lag behind the pen?
yes, more CSP. I love it.
Thank you so much for this video!
There's an entire world of advantages too, in inking with its vector layers. From "correcting lines", starting where you left the last line (connecting), to many more things. And using its tools for changing the lines weight after the fact... I ink in raster, but seriously considering give a bigger try to vector layers in CSP.
It has even quite good solutions for digital painting, as well, some nice behaviors in the oil brushes, even if it does not heavily try to mimic traditional media like Rebelle does.
Both its several points perspective system, as its entire 3D perspective system are real time savers, when not drawing buildings and stuff with perspective guides ( I often don't use those).
Like and appreciate the Clip toutorials. Hope you'll continue making more. Thanks.
More to come!
Yeah. As a colourist, I used photoshop a lot but now using CSP to colour and showing flatting tips in CSP.
Clip studio user here and I love the idea of u doing Clip Studio vids because I feel like i'm not making full use of it's tools
Hey, in Clip Studio Paint, is there a tool that let's you select and change just like in photoshop.
Thanks for the tips Master. I usually work in clipstudio and I think it is a really good software. Greetings.
Thanks for the vid! Quick tip: 0:00 timestamp enables built in youtube chapters
cant wait to see mor stuff in Clip Studio. Im also a Photoshop User for 20+ Years so its hard sometimes because you have to think about stuff again which worked without spending a thought in the Software you are used to. The part about the difference between Masks was a blast for me! A lot of helpfull stuff but for me that was the one i really needed!
I would love to see you working through the process of coloring a piece with all the layer modes stuff you regulary do in Photoshop and maybe tell whats different in Clip Studio.
Maybe if you start by doing flats because there are helpers for this which could make life harder for the flaters out there in terms of finding a job.
It might be too early to ask you for showing ways on how to do it better/easier in Clip Studio than in PS but maybe in the future.
Since this is a specialized piece of Software i think there is a lot of stuff to cover which is better for making comics in Clip Studio than in PS.
Oh and probably that Reference Layer stuff would be helpfull. Thansk man!
Cant wait to see more, stay healthy!
Thanks! Yep. Coloring tutorials coming soon.
I found clip super nice for making balloons and uploading my own type face. I’d like to see you do a page from flat to color in CSP; the reference layers and advanced selection tools could be neat to see! Thank you so much for this video.
It's coming soon. Thanks!
If I were restricted to only one art app ever, CSP is the one that I would choose. It has weaknesses and quirks for sure, but for pure drawing/painting on a pc, can't beat it, especially for the price. I genuinely like it more than Photoshop. I got Manga Studio 4 Debut as a giveaway at convention YEARS ago, enjoyed it for some comic fan art, and then upgraded to Manga Studio 5 when it launched and have been in love with it since. I've actually bought the program multiple times as a gift for friends (especially since it is so frequently on sale) and for myself when I needed it on multiple devices.
Yeah it does some really cool stuff!
YESSSSSS!! Been waiting for this for so long!
The absence of the quick switch from freehand lasso to polyline has been preventing me from coloring entirely to CSP. Hope they update that. :( But I guess that stabilization tool for lasso could fill in the gap.
Thanks for this man! Can't wait for more CSP tips and tricks.
Does anyone know how to do this on the iPad?
You could just drag the polyline tool out of the selection group & set a new hotkey for it
That still requires ending the selection. PS does it while making the selection. It's not the same thing.
@@colorwithkurt I think you could achieve this by changing the selection mode to "add to selection" and setting a hotkey to switch from lasso to polyline. You won't lose your selection. In preferences, there's also an option for "switch tool temporarily by pressing and holding shortcut key"
Not quite the same thing. In PS, this can be done within one selection while making it. There is no way to do this in CSP at present.
I have been using Photoshop for so many years and it's the first time I see that option to switch lasso mode... What kind of magic is that.
Cool to see you using CSP, will you be doing a tut on how to colour in it? Jumped from Photoshop to CSP along time ago but still struggling with anything but flatting. Keep up the good work 💪
Yes, it's coming.
Thank you.
Thanks. I’ve just ditched PS as the subscription is too expensive for me. I draw for fun and make n income from it. CSP is great. Would love to see more tutorials on it.
as someone coming from traditional, PS approach to masking was always hard to grasp. CSP's erasing approach was actually way more intuitive.
15:30 in clip studio paint you don't fill it with black, you select it and press delete it will do the same thing. you would have to use the eraser and the brush tool instead of using the brush with black and white.
Hey there Colour with Kurt, I know this video might be old. But if you're still having trouble setting CMYK as a "default". Set up an "auto-action" when you start a new canvas for the CMYK toggle. That way you'll always have it on at the beginning.
I appreciate it, but there are no CMYK options in CSP that provide the same results PS does. So I do not use the preview.
"i know you're all paying for photoshop every month"
*sweats nervously*
16:32 I tried to Eraser instead of paint black or use a brush and it's worked.
Those hanging cables from the Combine Tower are ABSOLUTELY a flight hazard, that helicopter does not stand a chance.
You can change the colour of the icons. I find it very useful.
Which icons? Like the tools? That sounds interesting.
Color with Kurt any one. Brush, tool, any icon on marquee tool selection display/ selection launcher. Any icon in any colour.
Also, you probably now this, but in Command bar you can add, move any tool, colour or option/ command(?) you want. In my opinion is very useful if you have a small screen and you need place with most use tools.
If you make the same type of changes to a canvas on a regular basis, like down to the exact same detail (lets say you always have layers set up in a specific way) you can actually use something called an auto action to record and then have the pc do it for you. It helps if ur working with complex 3D models in a time consuming way. For instance I had a massive model that I would duplicate 4 times then on one layer id change it to lines, another layer Id adjust contrast till it was only b&w and then change brightness to opacity, and on and on. Itd take me a while Expecially since each duplicate took forever to copy. I recorded it and only had to sit and wait while the pc did it for me faster. The only negative is it had issues with recording that I removed 3D texture vs kept it for different files, and thats DEEEP in settings
Hey Kurt, couldn't find your workspace on the assets. Is there a link or something? Great video, by the way!
Please do use CSP with app agnostic tutorials. That would be great!
thank you for this video! answered a lot of questions I have after recently switching over from money-grubbin ai-embracing Adobe. The quick switch between poly and free lasso is greatly missed, however!
One question I have is the color differences in CSP. I've tried matching all the color profiles to what they were in PS, but everything is still slightly yellower. Any ideas on that?
Hey, great video, thanks! I've got a question, at the start of the video you're working on a Gambit drawing. Is there a video of that?
Not yet. I've got that recording saved for the future though.
You should make a quick access set so you have a flatting lasso etc. another quick access for inks etc.
All coming in the coloring tutorial. :)
There's always a bit of lag when doing detailed sketches for me, compared to photoshop. It's a basic brush with a small canvas with no stabilisation. You wouldn't notice it if you havent used PS.
Ive been using clip studio sinc around 2013-2014 and i now have to work in photoshop for work so i actually am watching this so i can easier switch between both programs lmao
I havent watched this whole video yet, so maybe it gets answered later, but is there a way to set it up like photoshop? like all in 1 window that I can minimize and it has the labels for the tools when my mouse is over the button?
No. Unfortunately my only gripe with this but you can click on the add on selection icon in tools. The other issue I had is colour proof in cmyk but just found that out by a viewer it can be done. Then I found it under colour profile.
Sorry I don't follow what you mean about the add selection gripe. I know what the button does but with the shift modifier, I don't see a need for clicking on it.
You could probably use the modifiers setting for the lasso to get that poly line thing. Set it so alt temporarily switches tool to polyline or however PS has it.
That being said....I don't think you can do that without lifting your pen.
It doesn't work... you can get it to switch but not mid selection. Thanks though, I did try it already. :)
Hum... I will try
could u make tutorial next time on autodesk sketchbook
I would love to switch to Clip so I could stop paying Adobe every month.. but there is so much I need to figure out and don't have the time. This vid has some great stuff in it - I would love to dive more into how actions work in Clip (that is a huge part of myPS workflow) - also, emulating some of the brushes and layer modes would be cool too (does hard light and screen use the same math in PS vs CSP?).. it is probably a case of me having to spend more time on it...
I plan on covering more soon. It has Auto Actions. Same thing as Actions in PS. I haven't seen any difference in blending modes. It even has some PS doesn't.
@@colorwithkurt thats awesome - im looking forward to it. Another interesting difference might be how the brush engines differ - i.e making custom brushes and how the shapes apply etc..
I was forced to use photoshop in school in graphic design class from 16 onwards which is way before I discoverd clip studio and it's funny that I actually found photoshop frustrating and csp intuitive and user friendly
I haven't used CSP extensively, but at first glance I can't seem to be able to edit a selection after the fact. I mean the actual dashed selection line, not what's inside it. In PS you can edit the selection.
You can edit the selection after with modifier keys and the lasso, wand, or quick mask. Something might be wrong with your software.
I tried to find your settings in the desktop version, but nothing is coming up.
Your UI looks so good, where did u get it or how did you set it up?
You can drag any palette wherever you want in the app. There's also an option to change the interface color in the preferences.
@@colorwithkurt Thank u, I meant icons and the almost Black version. I had a grey version but turns out I hadn't updated the app and now looks great!
Please do some ibis paint also as it shares file into clip.
I haven't heard of that, but if enough people ever ask, I'd consider it.
adobe: rises the price of photoshop
everyone: pirates photoshop
adobe: *Surprised pikachu face*
Hahaha
Is there a pen tool for selections?
Yes, but I don't use it, so I can't confirm it's the same as PS.
Hello Kurt.... domyou still have your workspace to download via CSP website?
No. It wasn't allowed on their site.
@@colorwithkurt 😮💨
Can CSP do everything that PS can in regard to coloring a comic page?
It can do so much more
Has anyone figured out the lasso trick in CSP yet?
This guy has a good tutorial on it. ruclips.net/video/_WezID1tNco/видео.html
:)
@@colorwithkurt thank you.
with the lasso ALT thing, I use felt pen, enter quick mask, just like in Ps and draw and fill the area I need...it's more steps, but it works for me...than you have the other useful tools, like close and fill, paint unfilled areas (great for corrections) and lasso fill. But I'm missing the ALT hold, it's a great thing to have
I’m not sure if u’ve found this function by now or have already tested it, but somewhere is clip there are also “modifier keys” settings that I think let you freely set up swapping between tools when holding down the specified key like in photoshop - I’m not sure how similar it is and I’ve only found it recently, but this might be what you’re looking for
I've been waiting for CSP to go on sale but I can never catch it. The promotion email probably gets buried and I miss it every time.
It's on sale now
I'm NOT paying for Photoshop every month, or, ANY month. But then again, I have an older version of it that I obviously can't upgrade. I started using Manga Studio Pro EX5 about seven or eight years ago, but I have been using Photoshop to create my comic strip since about 1996 when I bought my very first desktop computer. Needless to say, although Photoshop has tools that I am most comfortable with, it is extremely limited in all the things that Clip Studio Paint offers ... except, of course, for these little things that this whole video you've made is here to talk about. Such as the Convert Point Tool which I have used for, well, decades in Photoshop and appears to be unavailable in CSP. To be honest? I absolutely PREFER CSP over Photoshop ... except, again, using Photoshop's color palate menu.
This was an excellent tutorial/heads-up on various ways to implement and use tools in CSP. The one thing I am still disappointed about is that there is no Convert Point Tool in CSP. You obviously get a "Thumbs Up" and I have subscribed for all notifications. Thank you, Kurt! Love your work, too!
You know how in photoshop you can select a color and change it, is it possible to do that in Clip Studio Paint.
Yes.
@@colorwithkurt How
The Auto select tool is like the Magic Wand in PS. CSP has a fill tool or adjustments to change it.
@@colorwithkurt Thanks!
Which version of csp is this?
Pro. I don't see any need for any of the EX functions.
@@colorwithkurt okay thank you so much🙏🏼🙌🏽
Anyone not able to find the workspace???
Celsys keeps pulling it down. Apparently they don't want workspaces up there from me. :) You can just move every into place fortunately.
@@colorwithkurt oh... well darn sorry. Than you for responding :)
For some reason I can't find your workspace buy searching for it does anybody know how I can access it
They pulled it. Said it didn't add enough value. Sorry! It's a little extra time to move it all around but worth learning to be able fix it!
@@colorwithkurt ok that's so unfortunate especially the shortcuts would have been a blessing :(
thank you for your quick reply do you have a guide on how to set up that you would recommend ?
I just move the boxes around until they snap together. You can resize them by the edges, turn them off and on from the menu in CSP. I'd have to search for more than that. There's not much to it. It was a convenience feature.
Aw dang! I was hoping to use your workspace as well including the Photoshop shortcuts because I want to move away from PS but I have been using it for like 15ys.
It's simple enough to move the elements around.
So, CSP doesn't use Channels?
Correct. It uses Selection layers, but they are effectively the same thing. I already used PS this way and didn't really use channels myself, but I know some people still use channels.
Thanks. I don’t use channels in PS anymore, but I was just curious.
>Paying for Photoshop every month
CS6 Forever. (Just dipping my feet into CSP now.) Subscription tools? No way. (okay, only if you use it all day every day for work (which I do not)). Sucks if you didn't buy it back when it was still available though.
I told you so.
Now let's watch the video.
Thanks. :)
14:05 CSP looks like an interesting alternative to PS, but if there's no this Lasso trick there that's a dealbreaker for me cuz I'm just abusing it. And one of my styles is based just around that.
It has both the polygonal and freehand... just not for the same selection. It's not hard to work around. The time I'm saving with reference layers makes up for it anyway.
It’s just a shame they are charging subscription for it on the iPad. That just killed it for me
"Because I know you're all paying for photoshop every month" Right off the bat. Photoshop users get sooo defensive.
I find that the feel with the pencil, inking pens and oil brushes are sooooo much better than in Photoshop, that for drawing and painting for me there's not even a doubt... and that while I've been using Photoshop at companies since '95...
That said... I do NOT support their take in the iPad. Besides I don't really like that device (size, too small screen, and iOS is very limited, no compatibility with industry apps, no real industry apps there, etc), I deeply dislike subscription models. They've done this for their iPad version, but not for the PC/mac one. Here's hoping they never will . Seems they wont, in the desktop. A legion would leave, if they would. Been a while since the change, and no movement indicating they'd become subscription based.
Yeah, it's super cheap though. Paying $25/year for an app you use daily to generate income (in professional cases) isn't unrealistic or unfair in my opinion.
@@colorwithkurt Very little money, indeed. I pay quite more in (purchase-only) other apps, some of those I don't end up fully using indeed. The problem with that kind of thing is that it is how it all starts... I'm getting constant suggestions to get a cloud membership while being in the desktop, in the C. Studio panel... And yes, this contradicts what I just said in the above comment... but truth to be told, I "hope" they won't do it on the desktop. But I don't _know_ what's their plan. At some point a company offers the always-updated version in the desktop as a monthly subscription, first as the recommended but not only option, and before you know, then there's the subscription-only situation. And monthly subscriptions are known to go up at the the vendor's discretion, besides locking you down in several ways. I mean, I'm against the system, not that particular quantity. So much That I'd probably move 100% back to krita and Affinity Photo, which I already do for a number of projects, for a "just in case" way of doing I have since always, and 'cause I'm used to context changes and adapting to different UIs, would not be a biggie if in CSP go that way of the dodo (as IMO, ppl would thing : "to go subscription I can just rent Adobe, the industry standard..."). The "not all the eggs in a basket " concept.
However, for now CSP is the king in many ways. I just don't get to be too dependent of any app, not even CSP, if it would go into a business style I don't support (it hasn't...yet).
I with you, but I do think the idea of paying once for software will be gone within a few years.
I hope I'm wrong though! Thanks for the comment.
@@colorwithkurt We will always have open source.... ;) I'm doing all my 3D gigs with Blender, is a reality (and if covering high end needs...it's pro... ). This from someone that used 3DS Max for everything at companies... ... Krita is not far of that level, in its area. There are a bunch of vector operations that one can do with Inkscape but not with Affinity Designer.... . And Gimp is getting full CMYK support this year.... Thank you, too. :)
i hate csp ui too 😭😭😭😭
I told you so!!!!
No I didn't. :D :D But to make the joke....
The problem i see is that all the plugins are locked behind EX version paywall, there are couple of unique auto coloring ones, and more actually useful ones
And they are not free as well i think, so you're paying $300+ for the truly full version
But the biggest problem with CSP is.. NO liquify
That is a killer for me and so many other people who don't split lineart into separate layers from coloringq, or have no lineart at all
Maybe after they implement it, it will be a usable alternative to PS
But who knows how much we have to wait, if they ever do it
your awesome. by the way, i sent you a message on instagram. can you take a look?
I see. Thanks, but I'm not interested.
You kinda say everything twice. No, seriously, you kinda say everything twice. No, seriously.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Finally!
You and Clip lol!
Great ✌️✨⭐
I know! :)
