The “Manga Manuscript Function” allows you to create a canvas specifically for producing manga when you open a new template. Until now, it took a lot of effort and was difficult to produce manga compliant with manga manuscript paper standards on ibisPaint. But now, you can easily create manga manuscripts compliant with paper standards just by choosing a type of manuscript from the templates. You can now customize various sizes, guide colors, etc. for the inner frame and trimming frame within the settings.

You can now zoom in/out and rotate layers by dragging with one finger using the　Transform tool. Zooming in/out and rotations of your layers has become much simpler, so minor adjustments can be done easily.
