CLIP STUDIO PAINT PRO is a professional software application that helps users design manga and comics using speech balloons and drawing tools to make up the narration of a story.

Although it comes packed with various filters and special effects, the layout is clean and straightforward. Plus, the tool offers a beginner mode built specifically for rookies, so they can set up the drawing process with minimum effort.

CLIP STUDIO PAINT PRO gives users the possibility to create a new story from scratch or import data from BMP, DIB, JPEG, CPG, or TWAIN devices. Plus, the application is able to open files with CST or CPG file format.

What’s more, you can work with multiple layers, create templates, perform basic editing operations (cut, copy, paste, or delete), undo or redo your actions, insert new pages, flip or rotate the pages to different angles, expand or reduce the selected object, and fill areas with various colors.

Other important features worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to use rulers, apply filters, select between a wide range of drawing tools, such as pen, pencil, eraser, and brush, embed text messages which can be customized, set up the dialog balloon parameters, zoom in or out, as well as insert lines and rectangles.

Last but not least, you can view a history with the performed actions, choose from different materials, and print the generated project or export it to BMP, JPEG, or PSD file format.

During our testing we have noticed that the tool offers excellent image quality, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process.

All in all, CLIP STUDIO PAINT PRO offers a complete suite of tools for helping users design manga and comics.
