Importing image data
This section introduces how to import image data such as photos to Clip Studio Paint.
Directly opening a file
Procedure
1. Select [File] menu > [Open].
2. Select the image you want to open and click [Open].
Note:
If you directly open an image such as jpeg or png and then save it as it is, it will merge any layers.
If you want to continue editing it, you need to change the file type to clip format to keep the layer information.
Importing images to a canvas
Procedure
1. Select [File] menu > [Import] > [Image].
2. The [Open] dialog box opens. Select the image to import.
Note:
You can move, transform, and rotate the image by adjusting the handles and control points.
If the handles are not displayed, select the [Operation] tool > [Object] sub tool with the target layer selected, and the handles will be shown.
Note:
To draw on a layer with an imported image, the layer must be rasterized.
Right-click the image layer and select [Rasterize].
When the basic expression color is monochrome
If the basic expression color of the canvas is set to monochrome when an image is imported, [Effect] > [Tone] is automatically turned on, and the image is pasted in halftone dots.
You can turn this off by clicking Layer Property > [Effect] > [Tone].
