Getting technical support is difficult.It doesn’t help the devs since it makes them look slow. Unfortunately the help section on the developer’s website isn’t helpful since it’s only for version 6 of their program. The lack of tutorials and guides makes the program a bit tough on new users.It seems to be an issue on Steam/Valve’s part so I don’t directly fault the developers. The only way around this is to open the file within OpenCanvas. An “Allow Game Launch” steam message pops up whenever you try to open a file directly from file explorer or desktop.Sometimes it will become non-responsive due to tasks that require significant processing power like saving large files.However the developers mentioned they’ll address this with future updates. Playing an event also uses some resources, but not as much. The blur tool uses an unacceptable amount of processing power and it’s very noticable on mid-range CPUs. Resource heavy when doing certain tasks.That includes: steam trading cards (and whatever goodies come with crafting them), logging your time spent in the software without replying on additional software, moving your purchase from computer to computer with ease, etc. This means that OpenCanvas comes with the perks of being a steam user. It’s the best illustration art software that is currently only available on Steam, which gives it an advantage over those who aren’t, such as Clip Studio Paint.That is very generous and it gives people enough time to save until they can afford to buy it. It puts Clip Studio Paint’s 30 day trial to shame. I dare you to mention another art program that has a 120 day trial period.It’s super useful and makes drawing digitally a snap. The Hand tool is a godsend! I’m so serious.The touch features work for my Wacom Bamboo Create, unlike when I was using Paint Tool SAI.It does lack some features but it has good photo editing capabilities that almost makes having Photoshop redundant. Especially useful if you’re an artist who makes speed-paints/draw videos. With the Event feature, you can recreate how your drawing came to be from start to finish.It may not be in the same league as Clip Studio Paint, but it definitely stacks up well against the competition. It’s a seperate window which can load up any image you like so you don’t have to minimise the program all the time, or have it side-by-side to see it. Reference window is something I didn’t even know I needed until now. Since the program is similar to Paint Tool SAI, it makes learning to use it less painless than something with a completely unfamilair UI.
