Okay, so I'm going to post a thread now about using Clip Studio Paint, about color settings, ICC color profiles, outputting to CMYK, getting 100% K in your blacks, etc. Technical shit. If you're struggling with this, read the thread. I'll reply to myself here, and it'll take a little time... 1/many

Thank you so much for this! I just learned today that I missed the Clip Studio Paint sale and I've really been thinking about trying it. This helps a lot to consider it.

For anyone tracking this, I think I just worked out a solution. I'll start a new thread, so check my feed in a bit.

So, first off, from what I've tested and seen, as compared to outputting CMYK from Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint shifts colors a touch, even when using the same ICC profile. All software I tested also does this, many of them worse. For me, the best color output is from Photoshop, unfortunately.

it's messy, but I've copy-pasta'd this thread into a rtf doc and converted it to a .pdf so I could refer back to it later if I lose this tweet (bluesky needs bookmarks lol). would you be ok with me sharing that? It has your name on it as the source but didn't want to spread it without your knowledge

This is great. I will study it tomorrow, but I will probably understand half, so downloading the profile it is. I guess most American publishers will work with similar settings. Thanks!
