These are things like onscreen-3d references, vector strokes and a better fill tool. We also have more brush engines.Ĭlip Studio paint has more dedicated tools for comic style drawings. Generally, Krita can do more deep lying architctural stuff than Clip Studio can, so it has things like transformation masks, filter layers, file layers, animation that isn't limited to 24frames a second, and things like 16bit and 32bit float painting.

There's more to drawing than software performance, and I haven't tested both programs deeply to have informed opinions on other aspects(user interface, brush quality, etc) of the programs.ĭid anyone use krita 3.0 and clip studio paint 1.5.4 in professional settings? How do they compare in terms of performance, brush quality, user interface, useful features, etc? I didn't have enough time and expertise to test layer performance, filter performance, etc. Although CSP looked a bit more performant, I didn't notice significant difference in performance between both programs. With thick brushes of 100-300px on a 6000圆000 canvas, CSP has some evenly distributed lags while krita displayed lags in big batches. I tested krita 3.0 on Windows 10 and Manjaro Linux, and clip studio paint 1.5.4 on Windows 10. While CSP runs said 40+ layers smoothly in all operations except 3D dummy, with GIMP my PC struggled with around 20 layers. I have, geforce gtx 760 2GB, 8GB RAM, and while having 8-10 chrome windows open + CSP (manga studio) memory usage reaches 80%+ only when using 40+ layers containing color on 6k圆k canvas.Īlso, from my personal experience Krita is poorly optimized, GIMP is outrageously poorly optimized, I would suggest getting a proper software first.
