#(I'm talking as a professional: SADLY PS has no alternative)

Would anyone be interested in a post of me explaining why you should NOT have just Clip Studio Paint if you plan on either making comics or printing your art?

I'm seeing so many lists of alternatives to the Adobe Suite, and tho I'm happily making do with Affinity for vectors instead of paying Illustrator...

Each of those lists suggests softwares in alternative to Photoshop that are not good alternatives if you don't use them to JUST make illustrations without text that won't be printed. (I used krita for a while, great brushes but not so many other tools. CSP is a great tool but it's nonsensical that it can't work in printing colour mode, and its text tool is abysmal. Gimp too.)

I can add some tips and tricks on how to prepare your work for printing in order to have the most faithful result, if anyone's interested? Just: please please take out a level of stress from your printing due to using the wrong software. It does change things!
