![]() I nearly recommended using the free Krita for coloring, but noticed that it has the problem that you can’t set up CMYK-values by percentage (as color reference books do) but on a scale from 0-255, where pure cyan is 255 and other values 0. And by doing so I have to be able to trust that a program does not change those values by it self randomly. I personally like coloring illustrations directly in CMYK-space using my Pantone color reference cards. Mixing of color values never happens in PS, color values are preserved as they were when made, if you work consistently with a certain CMYK profile. This is never good for the colors in your picture. If you want to convert it back to CMYK, you have to do so by exporting the image. If you open a CMYK-image made in Photoshop in MS, it will always be converted to RGB at import. For example a pure Cyan (100, 0, 0, 0) gets other values with it as well when exported. They change even if you use CMYK-values to coloring, use a certain CMYK color profile preview and export with that certain CMYK profile. If your intention is to color in MS using precise CMYK values, be aware that color values change in images made in & exported from MS. ![]() You’ll know the profile is in use with your image if you can see its name in the head of your image.Īnd here’s our example image with profile preview in MS. From the Preview settings above it, you can set which profile you need. You have to activate the color profile preview every time from View/Color profile/Preview. Colors appear clearly muddy and too dark. The image beneath it is opened in MS without activating the preview profile. The first one is opened in PS (image has AdobeRGB profile) and colors are as they should. If you open up an image in MS and don’t make sure that the profile attached to it is in preview use, the colors will appear wrong. (And the difference is usually not that big which ever intent of the two you use.) But there is no possibility to set black point compensation in MS that Relative colometrics needs, so I’ll ”settle” for Perceptual in both programs. I tend to use Relative colometrics in PS because it maintains more of the original colors in the image than Perceptual. The Rendering intent is by default Perceptual in MS. In Manga Studio go to File/Preferences/Color conversion But always ask your printer- they might want you to use a different/their own profile) These are also good general settings if you want to make print jobs with your programs. Start by setting up both programs color options the same way. ![]() You can make some tests yourself, if you own also for example Photoshop. Note to Finnish readers/Huom suomalainen lukija: Tämä artikkeli on käännös, voit lukea jutun suomeksi tästä. I’m no expert in this field this article looks at how I deal with Manga Studio, and I’d love to get comments on how others tackle the problem. Fear not! □ Tested it today and the program handles things as well or rather badly as before.Ĭlip Studio Paint aka Manga Studio 5 does not natively support color management and if you intend to make professional print jobs that require CMYK as color space, it’s good to be aware of this limitation. Update : Some people in Twitter suspected that since this is an article written in 2015, things in CSP might have changed, that some improvements has been made.
