One important note is that you have to cancel the subscription before the trial period ends, otherwise you automatically get charged for the next month.5 most underrated anime of 2021. Anything can happen within those six months, including a change in price or more features.

The app is free to download and use but, in order to save files or export to image formats, you'll need that subscription.įortunately, CELSYS is offering a rather generous 6-month free trial for anyone who activates Clip Studio Paint EX for iPad now until December 20, 2017. Here, however, CELSYS will be requiring an $8.99 monthly fee. On the desktop, you simply buy a license once and never worry about it. But even those will probably be a bit thrown off at first by the way CSP will handle file management with iOS' limitations.Ĭlip Studio Paint EX for iPad also changes CELSYS' business a bit. Regardless, it's going to be an odd experience save for those already used to Clip Studio Paint in the first place. That said, CELSYS does throw in some touch-based conventions, like two-finger tap to undo and three fingers to redo, and an "edge keyboard" for most frequently used actions. While you do have the familiar menus and panels of desktops, you also break most of the conventions of iOS. Of course, bringing a desktop interface to mobile isn't always the best option. CELSYS will definitely keep its process a secret, but having accomplished that, without significantly dragging down performance, is nothing short of a miracle.

For all intents and purposes, it is almost exactly the same Clip Studio Paint you'll find on Windows and macOS.

Nor is it a dedicated mobile version of a desktop app, like MediBang Paint. It isn't a mere watered-down version, like Photoshop Express. But like the full Photoshop, its lack of a mobile solution has made using capable devices like the iPad Pro more like a sidekick than a serious tool. While it's not exactly a perfect setup, its arrival, and future success, could change the face of content creation on the iPad for good.Ĭlip Studio Paint, formerly (and still confusingly) known as Manga Studio, is right up there with Adobe Photoshop and Paint Tool SAI as the software of choice for both professional and hobby artists. It has released Clip Studio Paint EX for iPads, bringing one of the most popular comics creation software on desktops to mobile. Now software developer CELSYS just dropped a huge mobile bombshell. Just a few days ago, I wrote about how to get started on your dream comics and manga artist career using nothing but your mobile device.
