Manga Studio 5

This is pretty good stuff. I've been digging into Manga Studio 5 lately.


Yes, that's the Windows 10 preview. :P

The painting tools are pretty nice. I'm just starting to grasp how to use them. Things are a bit different from how I'm used to working.

It doesn't have a lot of features you will find in a full featured photo editor, but it does have some unique features geared towards drawing/cartooning.

There's a feature that prevents a brush stroke from going outside the lines on a different layer. Also a toggle that matches a layer's transparency to the layer below it (so you can quickly add shading/texture over a character or object without painting over anything else). I had to do a little bit of dancing between tools and layers to do that in GIMP.


Space!

I can't really compare it to Photoshop, because I've never had the money to afford it. I've read a few comments of people who say this performs better as a drawing program, though.

sounds and looks a lot like Paint Tool SAI, any comparison you could make between the two?

Hmm. I have never given Sai a good look. I did a quick search and some are saying Sai is easier to use, but Manga Studio is better for comics.
