Art progress but now hitting a roadblock! 

Ran into a road block with my art now. The program I have been using called Infinite Painter is the best I have personally come across for Android tablets. The UI and the workflow is just chef's kiss.

Unfortunately, it lags horrendously if there are a lot of layers on my Samsung S6 tab. I have finished some chibi faces that each have around 100 layers (I suck and make a lot of changes) and the pen strokes and painting feel sluggish and awful.

I did forward some videos to the developers to see if it's an optimization issue or if I should upgrade to a S8+ tab now. But another problem to consider is that I don't experience this type of lag in the mobile version of Clip Studio Paint even with the same PSD test document I uploaded.
From what I heard, the Painter devs are a smaller studio so I don't expect a fix to this tbh. But if they can at least get back to me if a newer tablet may fix the issue, I may end up buying an S8 so I can keep using Painter.

Now I'm kinda forced to switch to CSP. I mean, this is the industry standard but their mobile app is locked away behind a subscription despite it being a one time purchase for the desktop program. Since I'm bed bound more often now, it's almost impossible for me to use my computer and tablet there. I'm trying a 🏴‍☠️ version of the program on my S6 tab but no clue if it actually functions as intended yet, since I took the 3 months free trial for now. If I can't pirate it, I won't pay for CSP's anti-consumer way of porting the program over to mobile and will have to deal with the Painter lag. Painter is a one time purchase.

It hurts my autism less to not have to work in multiple completely different programs. If my health ever improves, I will have to use CSP on my computer anyways. I never get good anything because I have to constantly switch with the softwares I'm working with.

The CSP UI is also horrendous and bloated. You can see it yourself in my video. I don't think this is optimized well for mobile devices at all. Unlike Infinite Painter's clean UI. I tried to de clutter it as best I could. I will have to get used to working with such clutter. :sadgery:

I'm slowly transitioning into an artfag as I don't know how badly my health will keep going and it looks like I may have to rely more on my creative endeavors in the future. :pepeShotgun:

Another video I sent to the Infinite Painter devs. The lag here is a lot worse and noticeable on the Elegos chibi face. It's actual torture to paint like this. 😭 The brush and zoom lag behind badly.

Somehow there is no lag if you switch to a folder with not many layers but if the overall document has a lot of layers, then the lag does follow to any folder.
