ComicStudio became Clip Studio Paint, and the western name became Manga Studio 5, available through Smith Micro.

I believe Manga Studio 4 (and earlier) was the western name for ComicStudio.

If you have MS4 or earlier, I would keep that version installed because the file format is drastically different from version 5 (MS or CSP version). (I can't remember if it removes MS5 but I don't think it did.) When you install it, I believe the installer will write the CSP version into its own folder as a different product. If you own MS5, SM will let you 'cross grade' to the newer CSP version (with animation) for free at their website. I think Japanese updates might come out sooner but the English version follows it eventually. is technically the same as the one Celsys sells from Japan, except for the English UI. Now, the version of CSP that Smith-Micro sells here in the U.S. I posted my comment because some people are saying the two are the same product but that's inaccurate because CSP has seen enough improvements and bug fixes by now. Yes, the product known as 'Manga Studio' ended a while back and it became Clip Studio Paint with the last few version updates.

The new natural media tools are pretty decent too.įor the free upgrade from Manga Studio 5 to Clip Studio Paint 5, go here. If you own Manga Studio 4, CSP is a major upgrade because it adds many color painting tools. (I draw all my comics using primarily the vector brushes,) and the multi-touch support is excellent-way smoother, more accurate and more responsive than Photoshop's. My favorite feature is CSP's vector tools, which are unparalleled for getting a nice hand-drawn pen and ink look. It's supports poseable 3D characters and objects and has a good 'pen and ink' rendering engine. Unlike Photoshop and other drawing/paint programs, CSP has many features specific to creating comics: panel cutting tools, balloon tools, multi-page documents.

If you draw comics, I highly recommend it. There are also many bug fixes in Clip Studio Paint so it's worth upgrading even if you don't use the animation tools. It's an unexpected bonus feature and, even though it's a bit limited compared to the tools in Celsys' flagship animation program, it's a very good introduction if you're an illustrator who just wants a taste of working with animation.

(Note: EX is the more advanced version.)Ĭontrary to what's been said elsewhere, there is at least one significant difference between Manga Studio and Clip Studio Paint: Clip Studio Paint has a timeline and frame by frame animation tools. If you have Manga Studio 5 EX or Pro, you can download Clip Studio Paint EX or Pro for free at Smith-Micro's website. Clips Studio is the latest version of Manga Studio.
