So right there, Clip Studio offers tools for illustration, comic design and animation all in one bundle at a $10 USD lower cost than OpenCanvas 7. It gets worse when you realise that Clip Studio Paint offers a lot of features for anyone interested in manga/comic illustration and animation. The standard retail price for Clip Studio Paint is $50 USD. It all becomes clear when you see the “amount of features offered” to “price” ratio. It’s expensive for what it offers (if you don’t happen to get it on sale) compared to its biggest competition: Clip Studio Paint. They do respond to emails, but it can take a few days. Your only resource for help is either finding a fan forum/chat or emailing the devs directly via email. The devs don’t respond in the steam forums or to reviews where people say they have problems with the program. Getting technical support is difficult.It doesn’t help the devs since it makes them look slow. Unfortunately the help section on the developer’s website isn’t helpful since it’s only for version 6 of their program. The lack of tutorials and guides makes the program a bit tough on new users.It seems to be an issue on Steam/Valve’s part so I don’t directly fault the developers. The only way around this is to open the file within OpenCanvas. An “Allow Game Launch” steam message pops up whenever you try to open a file directly from file explorer or desktop.Sometimes it will become non-responsive due to tasks that require significant processing power like saving large files.However the developers mentioned they’ll address this with future updates. Playing an event also uses some resources, but not as much. The blur tool uses an unacceptable amount of processing power and it’s very noticable on mid-range CPUs. Resource heavy when doing certain tasks.That includes: steam trading cards (and whatever goodies come with crafting them), logging your time spent in the software without replying on additional software, moving your purchase from computer to computer with ease, etc. This means that OpenCanvas comes with the perks of being a steam user.
