Adding Text Bubble to My Children's Picture Book, Part 2
/Clip Studio Paint EX project view
Adding text bubbles is a chore with Clip Studio Paint. The text bubbles and tails are not the problem — the text is. Entering text is extremely sluggish. At times I can type in several sentences before a character appears on the screen. I’ve googled this problem, but I find only a few people mentioning how miserably slow text entry is. The only responses I’ve found say something lame like, “CSP is a drawing program. It doesn’t focus on text.” I call bullshit on that response. If you’re going to have text, it should work. Text is really, really important for comics.
One more CSP gripe: when you export a file to the Adobe PSD or PSB format, the text is rasterized and cannot be edited as text in Photoshop. That’s not such a big shock because Krita and Gimp have the same problem. I’ll have to bite the bullet and look for a work-around. I’ll try creating the text in a text editor then pasting it in to the CSP text bubbles. Too bad CSP text sucks so much.
