![]() ![]() I had tried to bring it to GIMP for an affect I wanted, but even that turned out much better using Clip Studios own filters (there aren't many, but they do have a few basics). It took me awhile to start using it more, mostly because I still love SAI's lines, but my mascot entry this year was done almost entirely in Clip Studio. More recently, I got Clip Studio Paint Pro. The line tool is excellent because it allows for easy adjusting of those nice vector lines - anchors (curve), color, thickness, placement - after they have been drawn. Even when I had it, once I got SAI, I quickly switched to doing most of my art in there. It's been awhile since I've been able to use Photoshop. (for instance, the magic wand tool no longer worked for about 2 months and I reinstalled the program and it just didn't want to work) My preference is and always will be Photoshop mainly because Sai tends to break on me and give me problems, causing me stress. Either way, I like that photoshop has custom brushes I can download which can really help your art. ![]() ![]() But I can see older computers having trouble. I work huge, like canvases that at 60 inches by 70 and I do not have lag. I do not have this problem- with the exception of using the smudge tool on backgrounds when I am making grass. I saw someone mention that Photoshop is slow when it comes to big images. I've done a couple drawings with it, but I just prefer photoshop over all. I use Sai only to fill in my base colors because it is fast and efficient, but besides that I do not use it. A workable magical wand that actually does its job and doesn't leavea pixel thin line around your lineart. I use both.I prefer photoshop and I do 90% of everything in photoshop but Sai has one thing that Photoshop doesn't. It's almost like PS, but somewhat limited in terms of what I can/can't do with the software. Though nowadays, my used computer hates Photoshop, so I have no choice but to rely on GIMP until I get a better one. That just means both programs are versatile in whatever you want for them. However, I've actually noticed the opposite tends to happen in terms of how the programs are used: people create amazing animated works with Photoshop and more realistic works are painted in SAI. Honestly it's good to tend for both, because where one does fail or lack in offerings, the other usually picks up the slack.įor example, Paint Tool SAI is great for more painting like details and lineworks, the pen/lineart tool is easier to handle than Photoshop's pen tool, and it feels much more like you're using a canvas to paint in SAI rather than moving pixels around a screen like in Photoshop.īut SAI doesn't have all the filters, text add-ins, and other stuff that Photoshop does, Photoshop has more brush options, and SAI can't make nice circles and squares automatically as well you have to draw those by hand, even with the lineart tool.īasically, it all boils down to what you want out of your artwork. I have tremors and my lines are often shaky so I like having that feature and keep it rather high in FireAlpaca. Is that because of the programs or just personal style? Is one better than the other? Is it worth getting both? One thing that concerns me is that Photoshop (apparently) doesn't have a stabilizer. I was considering both because it seems like Sai is used for more of an animated style while Photoshop is more realistic. Anyway, I was considering getting both and am willing to do so since I have someone willing to help pay. I'm pretty sure I want to get Photoshop because I can get that with Lightroom for $10 a month. I've seen amazing art done with both Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai. The issue I'm having is I don't know what to get. However, I've decided it's time to upgrade. Started with GIMP and am currently using FireAlpaca mostly though I also have Medibang. Hey, so I'm getting more and more into art. ![]()
