CST File Complications
Common Problems Opening CST Files
Manga Studio Isn't There
When you double-click your CST file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Customarily, this means that Manga Studio is not installed on %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: When another CST application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Outdated Manga Studio
Sometimes your installed version of Manga Studio won't support your Manga Studio Story File file. You will need to download a newer version of Manga Studio if you don't have the right version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of CST file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Conclusion: The majority of CST file opening issues are due to not having the correct Manga Studio version installed.

That's Correct!
The unique thing about vector files such as AI and EPS is that graphic details (eg. sizes and shapes of objects) and text remains editable. This allows you can save and re-open them in Illustrator and edit text or other elements within the graphic.
