CSP is GREAT! :3
some rules are different from SAI, but it's still extremely good application.
and yeah, you'll need a lot of time to customize stuffs on this :3
some tips and tricks i found myself :
prob :
1. have a problem with the UNDO ? its UNDOING MORE THAN 1 MOVE, unlike SAI?
solution :
go to
File > Preferences > Performance > Delay before recognizing new object to undo after drawing > reduce from 500 ms to 100 or 75 ms
you can also increase undo count :3
2. the blend is WEIRD! most of the time it ERASES the color instead!
solution :
reduce the color stretch to 1 up to 10
also make sure your pen pressure affects the blend density!
OR
usually, what you need is BLUR, not blend.
you can also make another water tool with 0 density paint and 0 amount paint to make a SAI-like blend tool :)
3. WHERE IS SAI LUMINOSITY?
there isn't luminosity in CSP, sadly, but you can use hardlight and Add (glow) layer type instead, does roughly the same, if not better :)
4. how to change lineart color? (usually in SAI, you just need to check the 'preserve opacity' and 'selection source' )
solution : make a new layer, find 'clip at layer below' right below the layer type (normal, multiply, hard light, overlay, etc)
check it, then go change its color there :3
these are 4 main problems i have when switching from SAI to CSP. hope i helps :3
