Manga Studio Inking Settings
Posted August 24th, 2010 in Illustration.
I used the following settings for the virtually all of my time spent inking in Manga Studio. The pressure curve allows for all possible gradations of input from your Wacom pen, giving you fatter strokes at your hardest pressure and the thinnest possible feathers at the lightest.

Hi, I was wondering how I could achieve a similar effect in Adobe Photoshop? I know there are several brushes out there that are supposed to look like ink but can I also use pressure to create thick and thin strokes?

@edgardo go Window->Brush then in the brush pallet select “shape dynamics” and from there under the “control” menu choose pen pressure (I had to also adjust the sensibility of my wacom in the wacom tablet settings).
Ray keep the good work flowing, amazing!!

Thanks for posting this. I can’t seem to get as smooth as lines as you do in MS. I guess I just need more practice. ;)
Take care,
Jarod.

Fynn’s right. A simple round set to pressure is the easiest setting for a similar brush in Photoshop.
Jarod, feign the confidence and shoot just for speed at first. Get used to working fast. Fast, fluid strokes. Confidence will come with practice.

Hi guys, I’m drawing with photoshop CS2 I’d like to make PTS brush as smooth as manga studio one (thin and charming like writing Chinese characters). Can you tell me a specified setting because I tried with brush presets but no avail. Thanks a lot best wishes for you.

You never use stroke-in or stroke-out? Also, I have no idea how to get the Brush Control window options open/where they are located.
Thanks!
Love your work!

I found the brush control window… so nix my second question there.

For those wondering, just click the green/red dot next to the setting and it brings up the brush control window.

I never use in, out, or correct.

Hi, i bought MSD4, but although the pen pressure option is there when I go to calibrate it, the text is gray and there is no effect! It’s fine in other programs, driver’s been redone a million times… Would you happen to know why I can’t get any response in MSD tools? If not, that’s ok! thank you!

Like Yam, my ‘pen pressure’ option is greyed out, and no changes made to the curve are actuated. I’m using a Wacom Bamboo MTE-450A, with the most recent drivers, and I have checked the pen pressure diagnostic within the Preferences. It works, and it works in Photoshop CS5, as well. But not in Manga Studio EX4.0.5. Any help would be much appreciated.

@Yam and Shameless
Under File go to “Preferences” (alternatively you can use the drop button on top right of the tool option window), you should see an index and it should have “Tablet”. Go there are switch the settings from whatever its on. I had the same trouble, mine was on “Wintab” but when I switched it to “TabletPC” and restarted it started registering pen pressure. Try it out see if it helps.
