Tan hui Tian demonstrates simple post-processing techniques in Clip Studio Paint that will bring out the best in your artwork
Much like in photography, an artwork may not feel complete until it’s been post processed. Post-processing enhances the art and may be used to ramp up the image contrast, change hues, create a blur or bokeh effect and so on.
The features on Clip Studio Paint may not be as comprehensive as those in photo-editing software, but it should be sufficient for most purposes. However, you can also supplement Clip Studio Paint with free editing tools such as Pixlr or Google’s Nik Collection.
Assuming your screen is well calibrated, printed images are duller in colour than when shown on a monitor screen. In this regard, I find that most images work well with ramped-up contrast unless the mood of the artwork benefits from tonal ambiguity. But whether the end results will be printed or not, layer overlays and colour adjustments make the colours more cohesive, and can help to bring out the intended atmosphere of the art.
