Celsys collaborates with WEBTOON Entertainment to bring Photoshop text layer export support to Clip Studio Paint

Celsys and WEBTOON Entertainment have formed a technical partnership to revitalize the creative market and bring about improvements to the creation, translation, and distribution of content. As a result of their efforts, Celsys’ illustration, manga, webcomic, and animation app, Clip Studio Paint, released the Ver.1.12.0 update to their app on May 26 globally across all platforms, with support for exporting text layers in Adobe Photoshop format files (PSD/PSB).

Clip Studio Paint is used by many creators around the world to create comics and webcomics, with the number of cases of works translated into multiple languages for a global audience rising rapidly. The Photoshop file format is widely used in editing workflows, and improving the compatibility of text data embedded in artwork files was highly requested by creators, publishers, and webcomic studios.

This new feature makes it possible to export Photoshop-format text layers from Clip Studio Paint, which is expected to reduce the cost associated with retyping text in Photoshop and promote the distribution of translated content worldwide.

Celsys and WEBTOON Entertainment strive to help users from all around the world with their projects through a variety of different initiatives.
