RETAS STYLOS PRO SOFTWARE
RETAS STUDIO is Celsys's latest and competitively-priced animation software that incorporates the entire RETAS suite (Stylos, TraceMan, PaintMan, and CoreRETAS) into a single package.

On December 18, 2008, Celsys introduced a new version of RETAS entitled RETAS STUDIO to the Japanese-speaking audience. Some of the most commonly supported formats are Flash, QuickTime, and AVI (Windows Only). The software features various functionality such as panning, multiplane effects, moving images, and exporting. CoreRETAS HD ĬoreRETAS is a rendering utility which allows one to set up a scene and render it as an animation, following a process similar to the traditional shooting of cels and backgrounds with an animation camera. PaintMan is a coloring utility designed to color images created in either Stylos or TraceMan. Created to convert hand drawings into line art, it is an alternative to the paperless Stylos editor.

TraceMan is scanning software which supports vector tracing and 48-bit image scanning. It is sold as four different pieces of software in which each handles a specific task in the animation process.
RETAS STYLOS PRO PRO
Designed to work with a graphics tablet as an alternative to paper, it is capable of multi-layer editing, onion skinning, and advanced vector editing. RETAS PRO HD is the most current software being offered to the English-speaking community through Celsys. Stylos is a vector and raster graphics editor used to draw the key frames and inbetweens of a scene.

Of course, a simple substitute is possible with auto action, but the complexity of the operation is different. The greatest merit of PaintMan included in RETAS STUDIO is 'inclusion paint', but it is a function that CLIP STUDIO PAINT does not have. RETAS! PRO HD is the most current software being offered to the English-speaking community through Celsys. Unfortunately, I don't think CLIP STUDIO PAINT can be a replacement for RETAS STUDIO.
