I am not able to afford Adobe constant upgrades and subscriptions and Clip Studio offered a one-time payment package that was ideal for me. The software is easy to learn although not so intuitive, and it has all the elements I need to produce my illustrations without having to go back to Photoshop. > > **Cons**: They recently reverted to a subscription model which was the thing that attracted me to them in the first place. > > It is quite a good software, very powerful, has many capabilities and does many of the things my ideal software would do. Great brushes but hard to find good ones outside of the program. It is one of the best alternatives to Photoshop. ----- ### "Perfect Drawing Software" — 5.0/5 > **Simon** | *October 20, 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: + Easy way to adjust lineart after drawing + Many smart timesaver features (vector eraser, smart fill bucket) > > **Cons**: - limited CMYK support - no support for variable fonts > > Clip Studio Paint is the best drawing software around, with its many smart and clever features unique to it. It's an inexpensive alternative to Adobe Photoshop as well. ----- ### "Clip Studio" — 3.0/5 > **Mykel** | *June 9, 2022* | Animation | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the price of this software. it is inexpensive and has so many features. Also it does not use a lot of RAM, which is really impressive > > **Cons**: On MacOs. the canvas is separated from the too bar. Creating two windows instead of one. > > My experience has been good so far. It has not crashed since I purchased it. ----- ### "The Best Illustration Software Around" — 5.0/5 > **Carl** | *June 17, 2021* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Basically the industry standard illustration software for everyone from amateur to professional. The price is pretty good to begin with, and it is constantly going on sale. And the ability to sync projects between your desktop and tablet is great. > > **Cons**: Can be a bit of a learning curve, especially if you are switching to it from another software. Has so many settings that it can take a bit to get the workspace set up comfortably. > > Use it for basically all my illustration, both professional and for fun. ----- ### "Great Features, Vector Layers, Overall a Great Piece of Software\!" — 5.0/5 > **Miguel** | *July 8, 2022* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Vector Layers\! Able to resize linework up and down without losing any quality. > > **Cons**: Could have better text editing options, sometimes it's difficult to get it just the way you want. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2031719/clip-studio-paint?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2031719/clip-studio-paint) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
