By Celsys: IllustStudio-The Japanese Photoshop, or the closest you'll ever get.

I picked the fifth one (which looks like sai with the menus on the left as is default) and moved the layer panel to the right.
But yeah, it's completely customizable.



Btw, the bar on the right of the color wheel, is the alpha. It's like the small button under the primary/secondary color switcher in SAI, but with complete control. So you can turn a pencil into a halfway eraser pencil thingy, lol.

Just checked out the vids on illuststudio.net, that thing is like a freaggin PS, Illustrator, SAI, MS ex, Alias SB (hell alias sb didn't even have symmetry and perspective drawing till 2009 >.>) in one, costumisable to bits ... something has got to be wrong there, this looks just too perfect, besides the fect that it is in japanese only, this software is going to haunt me in my dreams...

Anyways, all language related win32 resources are in the iswResJ.dll, so it's actually not too hard to edit

Do it, post it.  Let's have it.

Has IllustStudio trial period (like SAI) or trial version has reduced functionality?

[Kaetemi]

Seems you can't save with the 1.0.7 RC trial. Not sure about the regular 30 day trial.

I plan to buy this around... october (or soon, if I'm free from school project to try the program)
I don't know..... maybe I'll upload it somewhere if anyone here want it = ="

Did they accept paypal ?

I can't even figure out how to download the demo, can we even install on non Japanese OS? I'm dying to try it!!

[parfhelbelia]

' _ ' I can imagine how different it is from SAI.
Like driving a small coupe and suddenly change to F1 =A=

[figue]

Tried to install but no luck, the videos are amazing, SAI has a lot to catch up after this.

Kaetemi> will you post the translation patch or something like that soon 

I'm really eager to try this out,but I dont know any japanese.

As for running it on windows xp, you have to go to control panel>regional and language options>

on regional options tab:
set it to japanese, location can be anything,

on advance tab:
again- set it to japanese.

If it wants a windows xp cd, tell it to use whats on the computer, after that it will prompt you to restart. After a restart you will have a japanese windows xp..

you can also run the installer through applocate instead,but not sure if it will work then.

Also,when installing make sure that there is no kanji or any other weird encoding in the directory names (rename any j-characters to english fonts)
