![]() ![]() Paintstorm Studio would now be the preferred alternative painterly option, at half the price. Steam is the place it’s parked now (paid), though it has not been updated in over three years. It’s thus no competitor at all to Painter 2020 or later, or Paintstorm or SAI2.įinally, why is it called OpenCanvas, if it’s not open and free? Originally it was, but then was taken behind a paywall. OpenCanvas is very fast, easy to learn and stable (there were some issues with the beta, but the current version did not crash one time on my computer). ArtRage is a nice piece of software, anyway i prefer OpenCanvas, special for Manga/Comic drawing and concept art. Oct./15/2019 openCanvas Ver.7.0.25 is released. But i find it kind of slow and not intuitive. But I could just not work with those laggy brushes at all. Japanese cartoonists and illustrators are using openCanvas openCanvas is a paint/drawing software program from Japan, it is used worldwide and received many software awards. It has some nice tools, such as very intuitive canvas navigator panel (the ‘Hand’, seen above in the bottom-right corner), which is very elegant compared to the ancient lumpen Navigator in Photoshop. And the brushes are in general very uninspiring, even when you start to set their pressure sensitivity (which has to be done for each one, it seems – there’s a openCanvas Ver.7 Manual if you want to know more). Two of the four Charcoal sticks are incredibly laggy. Anything with any transparency is very laggy, even at relatively small brush sizes. Even when allocated the maximum memory and when the canvas is down at just 2,000 x 1,600. The question is: can it match SAI2 or Paintstorm in brush speeds on a large canvas? It also runs fine on my older version of Windows and plays nicely with the XP-Pen. As you can see here in my first try at an OpenCanvas layout, re-configured in a way that makes sense to me. But it did have a dark mode, the lack of which is an almost insurmountable problem with Paint Tool SAI2. It’s a SAI2-a-like painting software, seemingly abandoned in circa October 2019. Thus the latest OpenCanvas 7.x was my choice of freebie. Cartoon Animator 4 Pipeline is nice, but I knew it was only a long trial. They had ArtRage 6 but I knew that would not complete the install for me, having unsigned components. I had one of their review units a while back and, as with most new XP-Pen monitors, if you register at the site there are nice freebies if you plug in your device’s serial number. Most programs dont seem to have a Save Layer option, so Im thinking thats what you are asking if OpenCanvas has. I finally got around to claiming my free $50 OpenCanvas 7.x painting software from XP-Pen. Short reveal of the new ArtRage OpenCanvas 5.5 has four different save options: Save Layer, Save As, Save, and Save Event. ![]()
