1. Relevant Materials

① List of Sticking Materials (As of Jan 17, 2026)

The following are my self-made sticking materials.

Note: Some set materials may include sticking brushes.

② Auto Actions for Sticking Materials

The characteristics of sticking brushes include the following:

Line art section: Opacity 99% or less
Base section: No color under the line art

While there are no issues with monochrome manuscripts, using them for color illustrations can lead to problems such as the line art appearing slightly transparent or slight gaps appearing between the line art and the base.

Note: This is almost imperceptible unless the brush size is considerably increased.

Therefore, I am distributing free auto actions tailored to my self-made sticking brushes.

2. Auto Action Usage Examples

Usage and behavior samples are available on the distributed materials page, but on this page, I will explain the details once again.

① Auto Action List

Sets are available in four languages: Japanese, English, Korean, and Chinese.

The content of all auto actions is the same. You may delete languages you do not use.

② Auto Action Behavior

1. Solid Area Adjustment

Utilizing the 'Cleanup' function, it removes excessively small gaps and reapplies the base color.

When executed on a raster layer, a pop-up will appear. This is not an issue, so please proceed.

Upon proceeding, the cleanup process will be performed. The initial value is a maximum of 50.

This process is affected by canvas size and gap size. Please check the preview and set your preferred value.

After execution, use the '★check layer' to confirm that there are no gaps in the base.

Note: Do not change layer names or base colors at this stage.

2. Merge + Hard Light Fill Action

Deletes superfluous duplicate layers
Merges line art and base
Creates a folder for filling.

This is for those who want to fill with as few layers as possible.

Since the line art and base are merged, color changes cannot be made. One layer has been added for cases where you want to change the base color, but you may delete it if unnecessary.

3. Separate + Hard Light Fill Action

Deletes superfluous duplicate layers
Maintains the separated state of line art and base
Creates a folder for filling.

This is for those who always want to keep the line art and base separated.

The line art is set to a reference layer state, and the action ends with the '★b (base) layer' selected, allowing for easy changes to the base color.

③ Auto Action Modifications

In the default settings, it is set so that the '★★original (original data before processing)' always remains.

Within the merge and separate actions, there is an operation to delete the ★★original layer as well. If there is no need to keep the data before processing, please check the corresponding box in the image above.

The action will be changed to delete ★★original along with ★check and ★original.
