Manga Studio 5 Product Tour



spacer "I love the responsiveness of the program - it's easily the BEST drawing tool I've ever used! The interface is clean and streamlined - a welcome change from MS4. The inking engine is FABULOUS. I literally yelled "WOW!!!" when I started using it. (I have never done that before with *any* software I've used.) You have a winner here!"

KILLER NEW USER INTERFACE
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
Set up a Personal Work Flow

Manga Studio 5 was written with artists' workflow at the very top of the priority list. All of the most used tools - pens, pencils, erasers, rulers, pattern brushes and selection tools are all right at your fingertips. Customize your own brush shapes, canvas textures, paint expressions and more and then save those as your personal settings.


spacer "I really like having easier/more convenient access to things like the color wheel (for when I'm pencilling), and the navigator (easier access to the zoom, move and rotate, among other things). The more I used the program, the more intuitive things felt. Having things like tools and functions so easy to get to is very nice, and it has helped me stay in the proper work flow."

STUNNING NEW COLORING
& PAINT TOOLS
Amazing New Styles

Manga Studio has always had a strong set of pens and brushes, but the bar has been raised with version 5. Choose a painting style from one of the many pre-set paint expressions like watercolor, oil painting, or animation style painting. You can also draw complicated pattern images with ease, things like lace, chains, leaves and trees.

TONS OF AWESOME SCREEN TONES
Huge Library of Options and Powerful Tone Tools

Screen tones are a critical part of comic creation and Manga Studio 5 has a huge library of screen tones or patterned tones to choose from and a powerful set of tone tools. Change painting areas to toned areas simply by turning on the tone mode. Edit toned areas easily, distort toned areas along shapes of drawn subjects.


CREATE SUPER REALISTIC IMAGES WITH 3D OBJECTS
Import 3D Characters and Background Images

Manga Studio 5 allows users to use 3D characters in 3D background images and adjust camera angles, which brings a whole new level of realism and depth to the table. It also stores various accessory data for each character, like clothing, hairstyles, facial expressions and allows you to customize this data. Manga Studio 5 gives you the power to create incredibly realistic images.

Manga Studio 5 Is Perfect for Comic Illustration

Adobe Photoshop has become the standard drawing and illustration tool, used in many industries, but it will not only cost you more, it's primarily a photo editing tool. Photoshop just doesn't have the tools and features that are ideal for comic illustration, Manga Studio 5 does.

10 Advantages Manga Studio 5 has over Photoshop:

  1. Preset pen sizes that behave like real Japanese manga pens. (In Photoshop you have to set the sizes yourself and they are not specifically designed for inking and coloring.)
  2. Support for pen tablets, ie Wacom, and high-quality pressure sensitivity that really mimics drawing on paper.
  3. Huge variety of screen tone patterns from basic dot tones to fancy backgrounds and effects. (In Photoshop, you'd have to make/draw tones yourself.)
  4. A panel tool designed specifically for comic creation. You can also make a panel extend past the bleed point as well as set the panel border thickness for emphasis to certain scenes.
  5. Perspective rulers - you don't have to draw your own perspective lines like in Photoshop.
  6. Premade word balloons in all kinds of styles and fully customizable.
  7. Tons of included content that will speed up your comic creation process.
  8. Import a variety of 3D formats. Manga Studio 5 also includes 3D characters that can be manipulated for the ideal pose.
  9. Supports both raster and vector layers, and includes specific vector tools giving you amazing control.
  10. Manga Studio's tools are based on real world comic and illustration tools such as inking pens, and rulers. There are many different pen tip types to choose from, unlike Photoshop whose primary design is for painting and digital editing.
