A Cure of Clip Studio Paint Startin Up Sluggishly
/I’ve noticed that Clip Studio Paint EX has been booting up more slowly as the number of images in my project become more numerous and get larger — more layers means larger files. The problem isn’t with Clip Studio; the problem is that all of the book’s images are stored on a slow (but large) hard disk. My solution was to borrow 500GB from the SSD I use for my Linux partition and use the fast drive for Clip Studio. Problem solved. Clip Studio now loads up the 50 pages project much faster.
While I was working on the hard drive situation, I spent some time using Linux and encountered the usual Linux pain:
sound doesn’t work
Clip Studio isn’t available for Linux
Photoshop isn’t available either
my awesome A3 scanner doesn’t work on Linux — no drivers
Enough bitching about Linux! It’s not great for doing comics, but it is great for programming and networking, which I no longer do now that I’m a full-time illustrator.
