As many of you may know, I recently had my photoshop program start going wonky on me after several updates to my computer. As a result I had to take literally a crash course on how to use Clip Studio Paint Pro to produce comics.

While the two interfaces work pretty similarly, and Delphie helped me with Frames while she was here, there's several areas where I need some help/advice.

The largest area of assistance I need is with text and speech bubbles. I'm very used to Photoshop where you click and drag to get a box for the text to be bound by (IE text rolls to the next line as soon as it hits the edge of the box and you just adjust it so none of the speech is truncated and hyphenated.).

CSP doesn't seem to have a similar function, so it leaves me to guesswork on how to divide the lines up to get the short, longer, longest, longer, short stack for rounded word bubbles.

Does anyone know if I am overlooking that functionality?

As it was it took me forever to get the thing to stop changing back to a white font every time I went to a new bubble (unlike PS, CSP doesn't keep the previous font for the next use, it reverts to a "default font".). Finally fixed that by locking my changes to the text. Which could be tricky when I have two kinds of fonts for different speakers.

I can see why many people say that the text/speech bubbles portion of the program isn't as powerful as PS. I can't even do that portion in photoshop because of how badly the program lags now.

I will say that I like the way the speech bubbles are handled, and how they are all automatically combined on a single page. Not so much how the text within them is handled.

Ack there was another issue I had, but I can't remember it... I will add it when it comes back to mind. Thanks guys for any help you can give me!

Oh I remembered another one!

Does anyone know how to make custom texture fills in CSP? Or how to use texture bucket fills...? Either or.

Did you ever get the answers for this? If you need anymore help I can probably assist!

Not as yet G... Would greatly appreciate any pointers you can give me!
